TAE m acH LY PAGE SEVEN THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN Burke Aaron Hinsdale GIFTS, BEQUESTS: Regents Accept Grants of $208,000 (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the 13th . in a series of 21 articles featuring the namesakes of the men's resi- dence halls.) By LOUISE LIND Strangers said that Prof. Burke Aaron Hinsdale was unsympathet- Ic and harsh. His appearance was described as that of a backwoods farmer. His long, scraggly beard and somewhat rustic manners must have been foreboding to- people meeting him for the first time. Assuredly, the professor of edu- cation and second holder of the Congratulate 'U' on B -law By MARTHA MacNEAL The Ann Arbor-Washtenaw County Branch of the American Civil Liberties Union sent a letter of congratulations and apprecia- tion to University President Har- lan Hatcher and the members of the Board of Regents Monday, ap- proving the tentative Sec. 8.1'i.A of the University bylaws, and urg- ing permanent passage of the ac- tion as soon as possible. The new bylaw deals with out- side speaker policies for Univer- sity student organizations, and provides that student organiza- tions must inform speakers of re- strictions against advocating any action "prohibited by the rules of the University or which is illegal under federal or state law." Freedom of Speech 'The letter says: "The Ann Arbor - Washtenaw County Branch of the American Civil Liberties Union extends to you its congratulations and its appreciation for your affirmation of the basic principle of freedom of speech contained in the tenta- tively approved Sec. 8.11 A of the University bylaws, dealing with sponsorship by student organiza- tions of public meetings to be ad- dressed by speakers who are not members of the University staff. "We believe that the p0- sition a now taken is substan- tially in advance of that previous- ly taken by the University. In some respects the bylaw is less conducive to freedom of speech and inquiry than is ideally desir- able and this is especially of para- graph 1(a). "However, we wish to express our support for the University ad- ministration in its efforts to take this forward step and to provide on its campus a forum for the free expression of ideas. We urge that the tentative approval be made permanent at the earliest possible date. "It is possible, of course, that the technical provisions of the by- law might be administered by sub- ordinate officials of the Univer- sity in such a way as to effect im- proper corgtrol over the content of speeches. \ No Such Abuse "We have no reason to expect any such abuse, and we foresee a good faith effort to implemen your excellent general statqmenl of policy. "We do hope, however, that you will take an early occasion to make clear to those persons charged with actual administra- tion of the bylaw that it should be liberally administered in ac- cordance with its spirit." Commenting on the letter, Rob- ert Ross, chairman of Voice Po- litical Party, said that "this con- tradicts the traditional libertarian position. I understand that tradi- tion to be one of viewing critically and skeptically laws which woul restrict the content of speech. ACLU Interpretation "It is clear that the new bylav does just that, but the local chap ter of ACLU has chosen to inter pret it as they hope it will be in" terpreted," he continued. "Libertarians have usually as sumed that laws will be enforcec as they are written and have critic cized their potential for restric tion on that basis. The local chap ter of the ACLU has accepted ar guments of political expediency rather than make a libertarian argument," he said. "I think their letter is a tragic mistake." chair of the department of science and art of teaching (the predeces- sor of the School of Education), was unrelenting in argument. He would perceptively detect and ex- pose the weak points in his ad-; versary's position, perhaps incur- ring dislikes in the process of do- ing so. Born in Ohio in 1837, Prof. Hins- dale attended the Western Reserve Eclectic Institute (later Hiram College) where he struck up a friendship with his teacher, Prof. James A. Garfield, later President of the United States. The two car- ried on a 25-year correspondence of which 900 letters are preserved in the Library of Congress. Opposite Directions During those years the careers of the two men went off in oppo- site directions: Prof. Garfield's to politics and eventually the presi- dency; Prof. Hinsdale's to the sci- ence of education, first as presi- dent of Hiram College, then as su- perintendent of schools in Cleve- land, and finally as head of the University's department of science and art of teaching. Despite the divergence of their careers, the correspondents had much in common: both were prod- ucts of Western Reserve; both were devoted to the Church of the Disci- ples of Christ; both had been brought up in the anti-slavery tra- dition, and both were scholars in outlook, men of ideas gifted with humor. President Garfield's success in politics was matched only by Prof. Hinsdale's achievements as an ed- ucator. Prof. Hinsdale was a his- torian of considerable eminence, his book, "The Old Northwest," enjoyed a good reputation among Sscholars. sor State Leader He was prominent in the state as a member of the National Edu- cational Association and of the National Council of Education. He served as president of the latter body in 1897. At the time of his death in 1900, Prof. Hinsdale was presiding as president of the Mich- igan State Teachers' Association. The bewiskered educator had been influential in the shaping of University affairs. He had been a man of considerable common sense and independence and a forceful thinker and speaker., The Regents posthumously es- tablished an honorary scholarship in his name and the University designated a house in East Quad- rangle, "Hinsdale House.' Gottlieb, Pa yne T o ive Talks Sanford Gottlieb, political action director of the National Commit- tee for a Sane Nuclear Policy and coordinating secretary of Turn To- ward Peace, and Tom Payne, Dem- ocratic candidate for Congress from the Second Congressional District, will speak at 8 p.m. to- morrow in the Multipurpose Rm. of1 the UGLI.
