Cornel West, Harvard Affiliates Call for University to Divest from ‘Israeli Apartheid’ at Rally
Some years ago, the University pledged itself to a policy of absolute freedom in religious opinion, and thus incidentally provided itself with a future athletic rival. The well known institution at New Haven owes its origin to certain dissatisfied divines, following a dispute in which Harvard officially decided in favor of religious freedom. From this policy there have been no departures.
Now it seems that this spirit of toleration will shortly receive a trial. An article in the current "Illustrated" contains the information that the Reverend William Sunday is scheduled to visit here next year. It seems almost certain that he will not find existing conditions entirely to his taste, nor from past experience does it seem probable that he will be at all backward in saying as much. Mr. Sunday should be given a fair hearing; he may have many valuable suggestions. His recent visit to Princeton was distinctly a success. He deserves, at least, unprejudiced consideration, whether or not his ideas meet with general approval.
