GERMAN DOOTORS TO BLAME
Law en Case Cited; Deans Vaughan
and Schlotterbeek, Profs. Wile and
Waite Interviewed
Several members of " the faculty
were approached yesterday on the sub-
ject of making salvarsan, asperin and
chemical dyes in this country, which
articles are decidedly scarce because
of the impossibility of obtaining them
from Germany. Pronounced agitation
has been begun on this matter and
Congress has even been urged to pass
a bill annulling the patents which
Germany has on these articles. A
number of American chemists are now
making these preparations and it is
said that several are doing so with-
out the consent of the patentees.
Dr. U. J. Wile, professor of derma-
tology and syphilology, wrote to Se-
ators Alden and Townsend and to
Secretary of State Lansing last Oc-
tober when the scarcity of these prep-
arations was first felt. In his letters
Dr. Wile urged tat the government
force Great Britain to allow shipments
of salvarsan to come into this coun-
try from Holland. At that time the
Germans had made some shipments
from the Netherlands, but were be-
ing held up by the British blockade.
"At present," Dr. Wile said, "we are
unable to get any salvarsan at all and
our supply is completely exhausted.
Salvarsan could be made as well in the
United States as in Germany and at
a smaller cost." According to various
members of the faculty, salvarsan can
be made in the university laboratories.
Dean Vaugian Gies Opinion
"Certainly Congress should annuli
thes patents." exclaimed Dean Vic-
tor C. Vaughan, of the medical school,!
when asked for his opinion. "They
should never have been granted in the
first place."
Continuing, Dean Vaughan said: "No
reputable American doctor would pat-
ent his medicines. When a German
xdoctor discovers a medicine, the first
thing he does is to get it patented.
Only quack doctors do that in this
country. When a doctor discovers a
medicine, he certainly should notiget.
it patented. He should nmake it a
gift to humanity. Salvarsan, asperin
and similar preparations can be made
in this country as well as in Germany,
and cheaper."

been issued in this country stand on

With the Military Training number

These rumors reached a climax last

Must Be Judged by Mem-
Their Own Profession,
Is Opinion
New York, Jan. 19.-The question of
academic freedom brought to a head
by the charges which resulted in the
dismissal of Prof. Scott Nearing by
the University of Pennsylvania is re-
viewed at some length in a report of
a committee of the American Asso-
ciation of University Professors, which
committee was appointed to formu-
late some basis by which academic
freedom might be safeguarded.
The most important conclusion;
reached by the committee is that while
the professors are appointed by the
trustees they are in no sense em-j
ployes, and that action on reappoint-J
nment or dismissal should be taken
only with advice of a board represen-
tative of the faculty.
The report is sigied by Prof. E. R. A.
Siligman, chairman, of Columbia Uni-
versity; Prof. Charles E. Bennett, of
Cornell; Prof. J. Q. Dealey, of Brown;
Prof. R. T. Ely, of Wisconsin; Prof.
H. W. Farnam, of Yale; Prof. F. A.
F etter, of Princeton; Prof. F. H. Gib-
bings, of Columbia; Prof. C. A. Kofold.1
of California; Prof. A. O. Lovejoy, of
Johns Hopkins; Prof. F. W. Padelford,
of Washington; Prof. Roscoe Pound,
of Harvard; Prof. H. S. Warren, of
Princeton; and Prof. U. G. Weather-t
ly, of Indiana.
The report points out that one of
the dangers threatening academic free-,'
door is that of restriction upon the ex-3
pression of opinion in privately en-
dowed universities which points to-
ward extensive social innovation orn
calls in question the moral legitimacy
or social expediency of economic con-
ditions or commercial practices in
which large vested interests are in-
volved.
As the governing body of a univer-
sity is naturally made up of men who
through their standing and ability are
interested in great private enterprises,
the points of possible conflict are num-
berless.
The report points out that, as most
benefactors of universities belong to
the more prosperous and conservative
classes, there is danger of pressure
being brought to bear upon academic
authority. In the state universities,
however, the report says, most of the
danger comes from political sources
because the institution is dependent
on legislative favor. The judging of,
professors by bodies not composed of
nmenbers of their profession is de-
nounced by the committee.
Rao. -Cause Loss in California
Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 19.-Heavy
rains moving eastward left most of
£outhern California recovering from
floc s wnic h claimed four lives, causing
damage estimated at $2,000,000. Ten
overland trains were blocked at Yuma,
Arizona.1
Mrs. Ignace Paderewski will pre-
sent a collection of Polish dolls and
otheratoys for saleinrthe Alumni Me-
morial hal this afternoon at 4:00
o'clock. An opportunity will thus
be given to all who wish to meet this
eminentworker for Polish relief. Mr.
Paderewski himself may be present.
Mrs. Paderewski came on from Chi-
cago at the request of Prof. Stanislaus
Zowski, of the mathematics depart-
ment, who knows both the pianist and
his wife personally. Some of the dolls:
will be sold for the benefit of the
Polish Relief Fund.
"In view of the fact that some people
seem to have a hazy idea of just what!
is done with this money for the Polish,"
said Professor Zowski, "I wish to state
that all the money is distributed in
Poland by the Poles themselves, and
conseqiently this has nothing to do
with any government. The financial
help reaches members of that nation-
ality who need it most."
ATTACK ON US COST
EASSYSEN WOOD
Trained Force of 150,000 Men Could
Cause Havoc Before Raising
of Army
Washington, Jan. 19.-Major-Gener-
al Leonard Wood told the Senate mili-
tary committee today that the coast-
line of the United States was open to
attack by any well-organized foreign
army, despite its equipment of forts,
mines and submarines, and that the
ocean formed no serious barrier to in
vasion.
He declared that in the country's
present state of utter unpreparedness
for war a trained force of 150,000 men
could inflict incalculable damage be-
fere an army could be assembled to
meet it.
As to the immediate need of the reg-
miar army, General Wood expressed
the opinion that the force of regulars
with the colors should be maintained
at 210,000. Of these he said 20,000
equipped and supplied for 'a year
time should be kept in the Philippines,
another 20,000 in Hawaii, and 15,400
at Panama.

APPER TO NIGCHTM
Selection of Program Material Proves
Important Factor in Success
Achieved by Genius
PEDALS PLAY IMPORTANT ROLE
Supreme skill in the selection of
programs has been an important fac-
tor in the success which Paderewski
has enjoyed during the 24 years he
has appeared before American audi-
ences. In accordance with his cus-
tom, the renditions chosen for his con-
cert in Hill auditorium this evening
will be of the sort intended to give
his audience an opportunity to hear
not only a great pianist, but also an
artistic interpreter.
Paderewski was the first pianist to
reveal the wealth of shading and color
to be found in the pedal work of the
piano. It was he who applied this
newly acquired art to such advan-
tage that the pianoforte seems to
"sing'' a melody with such smoothness
that the hearer almost forgets he is
listening to an instrument of per-
cussion.
While pianists from all portions of
the world have been following along
the lines laid down for them by this
genius, he is still the unapproachable
master,.made unique by the union of
his extraordinarily sensitive touch and
his skillful use of the pedals.
