Academic freedom is a subject of grave importance outside as well as inside Columbia University in New York City. The composition of the latest differences between trustees and faculty at Columbia University is discussed. Last fall two members of the faculty were attacked for their connection with radical peace propaganda. A committee of the faculty, recognizing that their colleagues' fate was already sealed, bowed before the wind and recommended that they be decently retired without publicity. The wise men among the faculty are accordingly congratulating themselves that in consequence of their prudence under trying and perplexing circumstances, Columbia has now taken another long step forward towards, guaranteed liberty.
