'Canonization . . . Alien Curiosity'

The Mail

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

When American "educators" proceed to draw a this line, between intellectual error and "surrender of intellectual integrity," canonization proceedings may be in order. But I doubt it. Academic chaos (necessary to some degree I assume, as long as we know less than absolute truth) begins to look like academic utopia. On the day that President Conant and General Eisenhower tune in God on their personal or university television seta, I will be mere than happy to sit at their feel and chalk "right" and "wrong" on Right and Wrong respectively. Until then I prefer to direct my alien curiosity and student naivete (not to be confined with "integrity") toward other than exclusive teaching wedded to its own conclusions. Fred L. Glimp '50
