Show PROFESSORS IN COLLEGE ARE ONLY HIRED MEN j CHICAGO, May 28. The American college professor In many Institutions Is only "a hired man in a cage," according to M. Leopold Mabilleau. the French sociologist, who is delivering a series of lectures In French at the University of Chicago , He said yesterday that in American colleges founded by private Individuals the professors were not free to think and write as they pleased, but were controlled to a large extent by the opinions of the board of trustees. In speaking of the relation to the French colleges and universities to the State, he said: "It is necessary that the professor be able to think and speak as he chooses, evn though his Ideas be contrary to the opinions of the trustees. This liberty lib-erty does not exist in many of your American unjversitles. many of which are founded by private indivWuals. I am told, however, that this condition Is changing for the better." - . |
