LETTER FROM T H E PRESIDENT O F T H E UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS CHAPTER OF T H E AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS

President Clement called attention to a letter dated June 13, 1963, received by all members of the Board of Trustees from the President of the University of Illinois Chapter of the American Association of University Professors concerning the action of censure taken at the annual meeting of the Association. The following is an extract of the paragraphs in the letter pertinent to this matter: "Those of us from this campus who were delegates to the Annual Meeting of the A.A.U.P. in San Francisco and those of us who were recently elected officers of the Urbana Chapter are deeply concerned about the effects of the censure and earnestly hope that events during the coming months will warrant removal of the censure at the next Annual Meeting in St. Louis. We believe that the great majority of the faculty share these views. "In behalf of my colleagues, let me express the hope that the President and the Board of Trustees will be able to achieve an accommodation and understanding with the national officials of the A.A.U.P. so that Committee 'A' on Academic Freedom and Tenure will recommend removal of censure at the next Annual Meeting. "The Urbana Chapter of A.A.U.P. has had a cordial and constructive working relationship with the University Administration for some years. We hope and expect that this relationship will continue unimpaired. "Yours sincerely,

RICHARD C. WILCOCK
