ACADEMIC FREEDOM
Sir.—ln a letter appearing in “The Press” of May 19, C. M. Clark takes exception to the presence of a member of the Police Force at a meeting called to discuss the subject, “Academic Freedom.” Immediately before the date of the meeting, a very clear advertisement appeared on the front page of “The Press,” inviting the pub- - lie to attend. That being so, Mr Clark is not entitled to object to the presence , of a policeman, either as a private citizen or as an official observing the conduct of a public meeting. The subject was lawful, the meeting was lawabiding, and the hysterical objection raised by Mr Clark is inconsistent with the purpose of the meeting.—Yours, E. PERCIVAL. May 24, 1950.
