Academic Freedom Upheld
The Academic Board of the Senate recently opposed the suggestion that the University should accept conditions of secrecy imposed on grants for research. The Senate itself has not seen fit to take the same resolute stand, but the Exec, on the motion of Mr. Mountier, endorsed the decision taken by the Academic Board.
Matters of interest reported to the Exec. include: First, that the Senate has agreed to reintroduce March exams in Law and Accountancy; secondly, that the Tramways Committee of the City Council has put a bus shelter for the top of Varsity hill on the list; and thirdly, that the ISS is asking for books for two Chinese Universities, one in the Government area and one in the "Liberated" area.
