It is a stand, however, for the principles of freedom of though which embodies the freedom of discussion and conclusion. Tht function of the University has been defined as two-fold. First, it is to transmit the learning and knowledge of the past, and 'second, it is to con tribute additions to learning. When limitations are placed upon the right of study and investigation and expire ment, then it is no longer the freedom of thought which we consider so im portant in our political and religious considerations. With this limitation of the field of experimentation, the sec ond function of the University would be materially handicapped in biology and its related studies. Not only does the Poole Bill remind one of the lists of prohibited books of the middle ages, but it is directly in contrast with the spirit and, in fact, the matter of both the Constitution of the United States and that of the State. The University does not seem to pro hibit the teaching of contrary doctrines to the evolutionary theory, and it likewise cannot take a stand to pro hibit the teaching of evolution. It does take a decided stand for the freedom of thought and liberty of conscience that is so vital a pat t of our national principles of individual freedom and liberty. -The Tar Heel, University of N. C. - u.s.c. - SPANISH KING WRITES UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN The day of the meek and humble freshmen must be done. John Zit ierman, a freshinan at the University of Minnesota, received a letter from King Alfonso of Spain. When Zimmerman was 'in high school, according to The Minnesota Daily, lie was president of the Span ish Club. Thinking that King. Al fonso would no doubt be glad to hear from him, Zimmerman wrote a letter to the King. Deeply tui.cied by the interest of the young man his- Highness sum mioned the royal secretary and keeper of postage stamps and dictated a rel)v to Zimmerman's episode. The freshman claims that the King asked to be favored by a visit the next time lie chanced to be in Madrid. - u.s.c. - AMERICANS WILL GO TO GERMAN SCHOOLS When the American student begins to long' for opportunity to studly in the old universities of Europe lie in variably thinks of Oxford and the Rhodes Scholarship.
