...active payroll. The fact, as has been accused, that professors live like nabobs, travel all over the world, and die without leaving a cent should not be invoked to show they could, if more provident, retire in comparative luxury without assistance. If a teacher is to inspire the admiration, respect, and cooperation of his students in this material age, besides fulfill the social obligations of a university community and preserve the external tranquility that precedes mental efficiency, he must hold to a higher standard of living than the day laborer, the artisan, or even the average merchant.

...protests by Jews and non-Jews . . . Morris Gest carried through his program . . . the story of the Crucifixion which has caused more Jewish agony, persecution and oppression. . . . Were we a devout Christian [and had we seen the Gest production] we could never again look upon a Jew with kindliness and respect; the commandment.
