PROTEST BY STUDENTS
AGAINST BAN ON BERTRAND RUSSELL. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. NEW YORK, April 6. Two thousand students cut classes and protested against the ban on Bertrand Russell. Declaring that the college board was attempting to establish a “chair of indecency." Justice McGeehan in the Supreme Court declared void an appointment of Bertrand Russell to the chair of mathematics at the City College of New York. He added: "The appointment is an insult to the people of this city." and he upheld a woman taxpayer's charge that Russell’s teachings tend to corrupt students as "his writings proved him salacious, immoral. aphrodisiac, libidinous, and lecherous." The defence pointed out that he was engaged to teach mathematics, not morals.
