...longtime admirer of Mayor Daniel Webster Hoan of Milwaukee, I wish to congratulate TIME on the fine story "Marxist Mayor": but, as a loyal alumnus of the University, of Wisconsin, I protest against the statement that the professors at that institution had 'seemed never to have heard" of Socialism. Neither do I believe that it has been necessary for any Wisconsin student of the past 40 years to "stumble on the teachings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels...

On the contrary, the chief emotion of the majority of protestants is resentment at the "imputation of disloyalty" in the oath laws, the suggestion that teachers might also be radicals.

Those who have taken...
