“TREASON TO SCIENCE”
ATTEMPTED DEGRADATION OF UNIVERSITIES. (Received February 24, 10.60 p.m.) LONDON, February 24. Many university authorities welcome Cambridge’s proposal with, modifications. Others object to making the attainment of degrees dependable on military training. Some suggest to confer certain privileges on those undergoing training. The “ Daily News and Leader” says that if a university, authorised, by the State, declared that no man could have knowledge unless he became a soldier, it would be blackmail and treason to science. It was recorded yesterday that sixtythree members of the Senate of Cambridge University oppose co-operating with Oxford to make the conferment of degrees dependent on attaining efficiency in the Territorials or officers' training corps.
