And all this was ms.de possible by men and women with vision to match their dollars. For they are the ones who have furnished the money which, in part at least, educa ted you and me and built the Colby of tod.ay••• money which has assisted Colby in attracting able teachers •••money which has provided scholarships for promising students who other wise could not have gone to college. Colby's current opportunities are great. But if our col lege is to fulfill its mission, it needs the wholehearted support of those who believe in the things for which she stands. Today Colby has a near record number of students to whom it has an urgent obligation. It takes money to edu.cate them •••even as it took more than you and I paid in tuition and fees to educate us.

Howe er, it for himself. Thus he met death and martyrdom. is the combined thinking and action of the whole staff that Elijah Lovejoy believed in liberty. Elijah Lovejoy makes The New York Time�, what it is and gives its policies believed that an editor can make no compromise with his strength and continuity of purpose. The members of the principles. Elijah Lovejoy scorned the easy way out. He staff therefore, share fully in your praise.

When Dr. Bixler notified me last spring that the dis tinguished Committee of Selection had voted to assign the Apathy and complacence are Elijah Parish Lovejoy Award this year to The New York Times, we were highly flattered.

What impressed me the most was the fact in its advocacy of full equality in the rights of citizenship that Lovejoy had several easy opportunities along the way for all citizens of our country irrespective of color, race or to retreat from the battle, but he rejected them all because creed. his consci nee told him that his principles were more im We claim no special credit for thus supporting the portant than his safety.

To fig ht Communism All this is what it means to be an American. remain true to Democratic principles It might be appropriate to illustrate this point by saying a few words here about the inquiry conducted by the In Now, so far as editorial policy is concerned, The Times ternal Security Subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee is a fundamentalist and conservative newspaper - funda of the United States Senate. This subcommittee, headed by mentalist in the sense that we adhere to the fundamental Senator Eastland of Mississippi, summoned several members ideas of Jeffersonian democracy as woven into the Constitu of staff to appear at hearings in Washington in tion, conservative in the sense that we want to conserve and The Times the summer of 1955 and again in December and January. defend them against all com<::rs. In the decade since the As this pattern developed, there came to be no doubt in second World War, some of these principles have been under our minds that the subcommittee was singling out particularly vicious attack from demagogues willing to play Times employes as an indirect attack against the newspaper it upon the genuine fears of honest citizens whose timorous self. Therefore, when open hearings were resumed in ness far exceeded their good judgment. The Times stood January of this year, we expressed our views as forcefully as up against those demagogues, and did so when it was we could in an editorial entitled, "The Voice of a Free considered neither popular nor healthy.

Defensive steps have to be taken to guard against subversives, but so many of the steps taken in I should like to read to you the three concluding recent years have been so absurd and so extreme and so paragraphs of this editorial which I suspect Elijah Lovejoy, reminiscent of Communist doctrine that they have tended if he were here, would approve: to injure the very thing they have been trying to protect It seems to us to be an ...obvious conclusion that namely, the integrity of American democracy. It was wise The Times has been singled out for this attack pre old Benjamin Franklin who said that those who "give up cisely because of the vigor of its opposition to many essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve of the tliings for which Mr. Eastland, his colleague Mr. neither liberty nor safety." Jenner, and the subcommittee's counsel stand - that is, There are those who think the expression of editorial because we have condemned segregation in the Southern policy is essentially an ivory tower matter, a sort of spectator schools; because we have challenged the high-handed sport for publishers and editors shielded from the arena of and abusive methods employed by various Congressional action. I can tell you this is not so. Sound editorial policy committees; because we have denounced McCarthyism cannot be an empty verbal exercise. It must be a sincere, and all its works; because we have attacked the narrow uncompromising commitment to a set of principles. and bigoted restrictions of the McCarran Immigration Act; because we have criticized a "security system " Once in a while these policies are put to real test, by a which conceals the accuser from his victim; because we direct attack or by subtle pressure which requires the news have insisted that the true spirit of American democracy paper to take a public position: to stand for what it believes demands a scrupulous respect for the 1·ights of even the to be right or to avoid trouble by giving in. lowliest individual and a high standa1·d of fair play.

This news paper will continue to determine its own policies. It will continue to condemn discrimination, whether in the South or in the North. It will continue to defend civil liberties. It will co ntinue to challenge the un bridled power of governmental authority. It will continue to enlist goodwill against prejudice and con fidence against fear. We cannot speak unequivocally for the Lo ng future. But we can have faith . And our faith is strong that long after Senato1· Eastland and his present subcom mittee are forgotten, long after segregation has lost its final battle in the South, long after all that was known as McCarthyism is a dim, unwelcome memo ry, long ajter the last Congressional committee nas learned that it cannot tamper successfully with a free press, The New York Times will still be speaking for the men who make it, and only for the men who make it, and speak ing, without fear or favor, the truth as it sees it.
