“IN SOME of our colleges and universities there is a good deal of false teaching. Professors in many instances spread discontent among the students. The things that are good and essential to patriotism are neglected, and existing ills in political and economic conditions are magnified. Those who would tear down are much more diligent than those who support our form of government.”—Extract from an address delivered before the American Bar Association at Minneapolis, Aug. 29, 1923, by Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court Pierce Butler.
