Even more recently another Member of the Congress took up "Let Freedom Rings" old cliche about "the little red schoolhouse is redder than you think." He deplored the situation on our college campuses where. he contends. communistic beatniks and "foreignborn. fuzzy professors" are destroying the pillars of true Americanism. While I carry no personal brief for the beatniks. I would remind this man that among the great rights dear to our traditions is the right to err. the right to be different. or even the right to be a crackpot. And surely this same Member of the Congress ought to recall the many instances in which our Nation has profited immensely from the arrival of foreignborn professorseither fuzzy ones or otherwise. Our history is replete with instances of rich returns from newly arrived immigrant scholars like Louis Agassiz. Charles Steinmetz. Carl Schurz.
