I quote extracts from college presidents: [Harry Pratt Judson. LL. D.. president University of Chicago. Chicago. I11.) If we can establish a test which will exclude those who are really undesirablethat is. who are unlikely to make intelligent. industrious. and lawabiding citizenssuch test I shall approve. I do not believe that the literacy test conforms to that condition. [Bernard J. Otting. S. I.. president St. Louis University. St. Louis. Mo.] I can not respect the intelligence of the man who can make literacy the test of fitness. and I am driven to suspect some underlying motive_ which he is ashamed to make publicin the statesman who would make this test the law. [Edward Cummings.
