1963] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 505 W e believe that a large number of faculty members on the Urbana campus feel as we do. Although severalwho saw the letter suggested the names of others they thought would want to participate in this expression, we deliberately refrained from any effort to obtain a long list of names. It is our feeling that this expression by a limited number of faculty members who are well known in academic circles and throughout the state is sufficient to indicate that the American Association of University Professors does not speak for the entire faculty. Very truly yours, R. K. M A U T Z Professor Professor of of Accountancy Accountancy ROBERT I. DICKEY 217 David Kinley Hall May 1, 1963 President David Dodds Henry 355 Administration Building (W) DEAR PRESIDENT H E N R Y : The recent actions of the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors and the censure resolution of the national organization indicate there are some who a r e critical of the action of the University in dismissing D r . Leo Koch. W e wish to disassociate ourselves from these people and their views. We feel that the action taken by the University Administration at the time of this unfortunate affair reflected a concern for the best interests of the University and was in no way a serious threat to academic freedom. W e deplore the action of the American Association of University Professors, both locally and nationally. In our opinion, only those who confuse academic freedom with academic license would find the action of the University Administration offensive. In view of the varied and extreme pressures exerted upon you in your office as President of the University, we feel your own actions in this case have been honorable and forthright. W e therefore take this means of expressing our support to you and the Board of Trustees. Very truly yours, H. K E N N E T H ALLEN JOHN C. BAILAR, J R . FRANK H . BEACH J. F . BELL H . W.
