"Free Speech" for Lampy.

COMMENT

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

What many Harvard men, graduates as well as undergraduates, have been thinking, the Lampoon has now put in writing so that all who run may read. Almuni will welcome that Laski number if for no other reason than that it sets the University right before the world and serves public notice once and for all that Harvard silence in respect to the utterances of Mr. Laski shall not be construed as Harvard acquiesence in the beliefs that those utterances expressed.

Lampy, in this number, is free of

speech. That much is granted. But it is no more free of speech than Mr. Laski himself has always been. If a member of the Harvard Faculty has the right to give voice to any opinion of men and things which comes to mind, then certainly that right belongs too to the Harvard student, and in greater degree even, to a group of Harvard students such as the Lampoon represents.  -Boston Transcript
