Garber Privately Tells Faculty That Harvard Must Rethink Messaging After GOP Victory
Pressure, allegedly coming from the Catholic chaplain, has stopped the appearance of Kirtley F. Mather, professor of Geology, at a Syracuse University interdenominational banquet tomorrow night, apparently because of Mather's political leanings.
The Daily Orange, the Syracuse student paper, said that it had learned that the Reverend Gannon Ryan, Syracuse's Catholic priest, had voiced the original objection to Mather's speech at the chapel dinner opening Brotherhood Week.
The Reverend Charles Noble, dean of Syracuse's Hendricks Chapel, said that Mather had been invited instead to deliver the Protestant service Sunday morning "as a token of good faith."
Noble explained that the invitation had been withdrawn "in the interest of all-chapel unity," because of Mather's . . . "relationships with certain organizations, listed by the attorney-general's office as objectionable."
