Abstract

The Tolerant Tiger. Alger Hiss at Princeton
Sklar, Robert | May 5, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

Most undergraduates of Princeton University and to the dozens of press representatives that swamped the campus, the appearance of Alger Hiss at Thursday night, his first in public since his release from prison fifteen months ago, was a little disappointing. In spite of threats and predictions of disorder, no disturbance and little noise greeted his arrival or marred his talk before 200 members of the Whig-Cliosophic Society and a jammed press section. The speech itself, on "The Meaning of Geneva" was conventionally delivered and conventionally received.
