Ousted Teachers Speak to Groups In College Today

Two ex-members of the faculty of the University of Washington ousted for alleged Communist sympathies will speak before groups in the University today.

Herbert Phillips will address the Philosophy Club at 8 p.m. tonight in the Peabody Room of PBH. His subject will be Moore's "Universals," as announced two months ago. Robert E. Dewey 3G, president of the club, said that the meeting will have nothing to do with the situation at Washington, and that "the club is in no way endorsing Phillips' views."

Joseph Butterworth, another of the ousted professors, will speak to the meeting of the Harvard Teachers' Union at 1 p.m. today in Young Lee's Restaurant. He will speak on academic freedom in general, and the Washington case in particular.

The case of the three instructors has been taken under advisement by the American Association of University Professors, with a view to establishing a precedent for future action in similar cases.

Both professors were dropped from the University of Washington faculty after the University Senate, a faculty body, had voted not to dismiss them. The president of the University, Raymond B. Allen, overrode the decision of the faculty organization. The case has aroused great interest in other colleges all over the nation.
