Government by Personal Freedom

Hon. William J. Gaynor, Justice of the New York Supreme Court, delivered an address on "The Political Obligations of College Men to the Community" last evening in the Fogg Lecture Room.

Judge Gaynor said that the obligations of the educated young man to the community are to preserve the rights of the individual and through them the freedom of our government. Personal freedom is emphatically at the bottom of our government and to preserve it against arbitrary control should be the purpose of the college man. Political problems, such as the tariff and socialism, should be dealt with rationally. Constructive policy and a fixed purpose persistently followed lead to success. The government must be kept under control; it must control the corporate interests which, through railroad rate discrimination have made trusts possible.
