STUDENTS' CHANGE OF FRONT
Students of Oxford University would not today pass a resolution expressing refusal to fight for King and country, as they did some time ago, according to Dr. Cyril Norwood, president of St. John's College, Oxford, a delegate to the New Education Fellowship Conference (states the "Press"). "I am against all repression of thought," said Dr. Norwood. "It is much safer to give it free play. Though the students of the University of Oxford passed a resolution that they would not fight for King and country, the same university is now electing Conservative presidents; and such a resolution would now be lost. If the university had repressed it at the time, the result would have been a much larger party holding the same subversive views."
