A full definition demands, to the teacher it is his freedom to provide his students I believe, some attention to all of these. with whatever material is appropriate to their study and to help them to follow a procedure similar to his in First, the thing in itself. developing questions, hypotheses, and conclusions. Academic freedom is described by one author, With respect to the student, it is his freedom to study Robert M. MacIver in Academic Freedom in Our Time, by means similar to or different from the methods used as "the freedom of the scholar within the institution by his teacher. Academic freedom is vested in members devoted to scholarship." This refers to the freedom of of the academic community and provides them with the i�dividual within the school, the college, the the freedom necessary to exercise their proper academic university, to teach and to study. In respect to the functions. Academic freedom is, as are all freedoms, faculty member it is a doctrine which says that he must a form of responsibility. The scholar, the teacher, be free in his own field of specialization to pose for the student, accept, when they are given the privilege himself problems, to collect the materials necessary for of academic freedom, the obligation to pursue their the solution of those problems, to hypothesize, and intellectual endeavors seriously, honestly and thoroughly.

These are frequently transmitted prospered in the absence of civil rights. Academic from outside to trustees and from them to university freedom as we know it developed to a great extent as administrators. In 1894 Edward W. Bemis, a professor the lehrfreiheit of the 19th century German university, of political science at the University of Chicago, spoke where it was staunchly defended by the state and by against the railroad companies in the midst of the the academic community itself. Yet there was little Pullman strike. His remarks were reported in the press, civil freedom in Bismarckian Germany, and the raised a great stir in Chicago, and William Rainey professors were expected as civil servants to Harper, the great first president of that university, support the regime. permitted himself the following unfortunate comments Academic freedom though perhaps less broad than in writing to Professor Bemis: civil freedom, is deeper.

A third way of defining academic freedom is by Finally, although rarely, scholars themselves have viewing its enemies. Generally it may be said that they been enemies of academic freedom.

Under these conditions it is small inquire and to speculate, the presence of inquirers wonder that scholarly zeal sometimes outdistances and speculators amidst other men, and the protection scholarly principle and that there are a few unhappy of their right to inquire and speculate, can provide this records of violations of academic freedom by the pressure against things as they are. holders of academic freedom themselves. So much for the importance of academic freedom. So much for what academic freedom is. The next All that I have said concerning its value assumes question I want to ask concerns its importance. an exalted view of the role of the university. In this I would like to follow the order of our definition If one believes that the university, or college, or school of academic freedom and discuss its importance in is an insignificant social phenomenon notable chiefly itself, its importance as a cause and preserver of civil for its protection of the young, the impractical and the freedoms, and its importance as a perpetual pressure helpless, his view of academic freedom will be either against things as they are. that it is a dangerous threat or a tolerable eccentricity.

5 "A key to a better life ... a house of hope to those who may be almost without hope ... " That is the way John E. Fogarty, Congressman from Rhode Island, characterized the new Rehabilita­ tion and Diagnostic Center at its dedication in April. Even as he spoke, the Center's first patients were already receiving help and hope in the bright and spacious new building.

In this area also are consultation rooms and unit for the care of children with neuromuscular disorders. A special feature of the physical therapy room, geared for small patients, is the Hartwell Carrier. Attached to a ceiling trolley which goes around the room are a variety of devices, such as this tricycle, to encourage mobility in the patients, aided by the gentle pull of the «merry-go-round." It's fun, too. To regain a useful life, patients must be able to' cope with the daily small tasks that are normally performed almost automatically. In the kitchen area of a room equipped also with bedroom and bathroom facilities, a patient is shown how she can wash dishes from her wheelchair.

During the week, six visiting lecturers expanded on this theme as it applied to their own fields.

Adding a touch of spice to the week's events were pro­ grams in two idioms that have been developed since the founding of the Eastman School: electronic music (com­ pletely unheard of), and jazz (definitely from the wrong side of the tracks). But years add respectability, and "Fan­ tasy and Variations for Tape Recorder and Symphony Orchestra" by Eastman School graduate Vladimir U ssa­ chevsky was the featured work in a concert by the East­ man Rochester Orchestra, while an examination of the jazz idiom by the Modern Jazz Quartet conducted by concert pianist, professor of musicology at the University John Lewis made up an evening's program. of Chicago.

A 40th anniversary dinner honoring the faculty and staff of the Eastman School, the man who has A stood as its symbol for 38 of those 40 years an­ nounced his intention of retiring as director in 1964. World famed composer and conductor, Dr. Howard Hanson, will, however, be trading one important post for another. At that time he will become head of a new Institute for American Music to be established by the University. The institute will carry on a project he began in 1925, the American composers' concerts and the festi­ vals of American music. Through the institute, Dr. Han­ son hopes to revive the composer's laboratory "so that composers from all over the country can come and hear readings of their works." A champion of American music since he first came to the Eastman School as its director in 1924, Dr. Hanson holds a formidable array of awards, including the Prix de Rome, the Pulitzer Prize for Music, and some 21 honorary degrees. In recognition of his many achieve­ ments, Provost McCrea Hazlett announced at the dinner that Dr. Hanson has been given the rank of "distinguished senior professor of the University," a title held by only two other faculty members.
