1134 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [March 18 I appreciate, in the statement before us the careful thought and earnest deliberation on the part of the President of the University and of its Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure. However, the statement does not go far enough for me in three major respects: First, it does not declare with sufficient fervor for me the devotion of the University of Illinois to free inquiry and expression. Second, it does not sufficiently for me disavow and disassociate the University of Illinois from the disgraceful reflections against the martyred President and the sitting Chief Justice of the United States who is now conducting an investigation of that still shocking tragedy. Third, it does not assert with sufficient force for me that a University of Illinois scholar, be his field Greek and Latin or current history and contemporary political science, has an obligation to back up his conclusions with weighed and tested facts. If there is proof let it be forthcoming in the spirit and method of true academic inquiry and scholarship. If proof is not forthcoming let that be established for all to see. I know of no way to vote for the resolution before us and at the same time express what are to me these most important considerations which I have just enumerated. The vote I will cast is not in any way a criticism of the quality or sincerity of the statement before us. I admire both the quality and the sincerity. Neither will my vote constitute in any way an opinion in advance on any proceeding that may or may not arise later. And so with reluctance and for the reasons stated I will vote no. I request that this account of my position be a part of the record of the vote I cast in order that there be no misunderstanding.
