They note by name the letters from Mr. Summers (“Freedom Doesn’t Exist”) and Miss Yoder (“Future at Stake”). “When the interests of a small group conflicts with the will of the majority, wherever people gather together, it is customary that the few give way to the great majority, that is, unless they desire to impress their interests in the majority by force. . . it is only natural that an institution supported by the majority should follow the beliefs of that majority--which is tolerance within the bounds of American democracy.”plain2016-03-06T23:37:59-08:00Adrienne Engle1e8579e03f69bc65fd3942292ab931a5f700ae15

The administration will agree that in neither case is incompetency involved. Since both men have been very active in the Progressive Party, we may assume that their political activity is the sole cause.”plain2016-03-06T23:42:22-08:00Adrienne Engle1e8579e03f69bc65fd3942292ab931a5f700ae15

Dedlow | PUBLISHED BY: OSC Daily Barometer | DATE: Feb. 16, 1949 | TYPE OF ARTICLE: Letter to the Editor | CONTENTS: “I would like to ask the Barometer to declare a holiday in order that the students may attend a funeral. On February 15, 1949, freedom to express our views, freedom to follow our particular political beliefs, freedom of thought, and saddest of all, freedom to choose our own professions were ground under heel and sadistically murdered en masse at O.S.C. shed a tear, everyone, and sigh, ‘Oh well, we loved them while they were alive!’ Could the president of a college we hold dear be one of the pallbearers?”plain2016-03-06T23:44:23-08:00Adrienne Engle1e8579e03f69bc65fd3942292ab931a5f700ae15
