that in most institutions once a president appoints a faculty member, and that professor obtains tenure, even the president cannot touch him. He is not responsible in the least to the president, or to the board of trustees or to anyone else. Some may say he is responsible to his peers but frequently his peers are so jealous for their own academic freedom that they would refuse to place any limitations on his. Professors of former generations— some superb educational giants — held their calling in such high esteem they refused even to stoop to the level of petty campus politics. But today, more and more faculty members, are prostituting their noble profession, and degrading them selves by aiding and abetting the howling, emotionally-charged mobs of radical students. Thus they have reached their level and have lost any semblance of influence over them. These liberal, conscience-less professors would destroy the very foundations of our civilization. Some way, somehow, these individuals must be made responsible to au thority which will either force them to do what they were hired to do— namely, to instruct student classes in the area of their special ized studies— or to get them away from the public financial “ feeding- trough.” They should be discharged and obliged to get out and do some other work for a living. The public is outraged at the disclosure of faculty members being allowed to present students in the nude in a demonstration before their classes. The public is outraged at the knowledge that a well- known Communist is allowed to instruct and indoctrinate in her lec tures the ideals and purposes of Communism, while at the same time she loudly boasts that she is doing all possible to tear apart the United States. The public is outraged with the fact that these professors are indulging in the sit-ins, lie-ins, marches and demon strations which are carried on with the express purpose of demolish ing our whole system of higher education. At the same time they are readily accepting as large a salary as they can possibly wheedle out of an indulgent administration. The public is outraged at the mani festation of these faculty members defying all law and order and going on their perverted ways without restriction. Although the tax-payer provides the salary for these characters, he has nothing to say about their conduct and their influence upon the students. This is wrong— absolutely wrong! Somewhere along the way there must be legislation to put a stop to this educational insanity. This is not academic freedom, this is academic license of the most sordid type. Every other employee of a college or university is responsible to a superior, from the president down to the caretaker. But these faculty members claim to be an absolute law unto themselves. In every business and in all levels of government, individuals are responsible to those higher up. Not so these faculty members! It is impossible to imagine a situation more offensive or more dangerous. To a large extent the next generation is in the hand of the educator and if he is unworthy, what will become of young people?! Of course, there is a brighter picture, thank God! In addition to the sensible faculty members in many troubled institutions, there are many Christian colleges in this country whose faculty members are thoroughly dedicated to the ideology and doctrinal position of their schools. They hold the teaching profession as a sacred trust and con stantly strive to be a credit to the classroom in every way. They are the ones who by precept and example are shaping a group of youth whose hearts are right with God, whose minds are alert and whose steps are ordered of the Lord. These teachers and students are the real hope of tomorrow. It is sad indeed that there are not more of this type of institution of higher learning. Biola College is humbly proud to be in this particular category. In every facet of its work the school covets your earnest prayers and deserves your enthusiastic support. THE KING’S BUSINESS
