Princeton alumni are pressuring the debating society at Princeton to cancel the speaking engagement of Alger Hiss,, scheduled for April 26.
In addition to individual alumni who have objected, the Princeton Alumni of Northern New Jersey as a body wired the officers of the Whig-Cliosophic Society asking them to reconsider their decision to invite Hiss, a convicted perjurer, to speak at a meeting on "The Meaning of Geneva." The alumni claim that this action has seriously discredited Princeton and will hurt the annual giving campaign among Princeton alumni.
Since the invitation was made public, floods of protests have been made to the debating society and to Princeton officials.
President Harold W. Dodds has so far refused to interfere in the plans for the speech.
