At Amherst

Six professors resigned from the Amherst faculty as a result of the dramatic misunderstanding which forced President Meiklejohn out. One of them, Rev. Albert Parker Fitch, has a national reputation as a fiery, spiritually prophetic and denunciatory; and passionately intellectual orator.

Dr. Fitch said he could not associte himself with the new regime under which " free inquiry would appear to be no longer possible."

The other resigning professors, to date, are Messrs. Gaus (political science), Agard (Greek), Stewart (economics), Hinners (music) aud Hamilton (economics), who has become head of a Washington, D. C., graduate school.

Those who were chiefly responsible for Dr. Meikeljohn's removal spoke semi-officially as follows: " Professors Fitch, Hamilton and Stewart and Associate professors Gaus, Agard and Hinners have resigned from the Amherst faculty, alleging in substance that freedom of study and discussion will no longer be possible at Amherst. What the grounds for the belief of this statement are have not yet been submitted. Meanwhile friends of education and of Amherst may well await the appointments to the Faculty to be made by President-elect Olds before determining the question whether or not the Amherst of the future is to be conservative or liberal."
