“If you do not keep the University professors free to think and sav tvhat they believe is loyal to their subject, without any consideration of loyalty to any particular organisation, then you will no longer be a free people,” said Professor Shelley, at the Parents’ National Educational Union last week at Christchurch, when discussing freedom or expression in modern life and art. “The parsons are not free,” continued the Professor, “and the majority of teachers and educationists are not, but the professors are: they can say what they like. (Laughter.) You may laugh, but I am serious. The professor holds a chair; he speaks ‘excathedra’—with authority. If he loses that freedom, you lose also. “The professors in some of the colleges in America have not this freedom. They are dependent on this or that organisation, and the staffs change with a change of political control. New Zealand has escaped that.”
