Roost for Meiklejohn

When Alexander MeikleJohn's Experimental College was being tried at the University of Wisconsin, an Athenian owl was its symbol, a device for experimentees to wear on their sweaters. Year ago the College was disbanded, and because of lack of funds no new version of it has been instituted. Like the Athenian owl, Dr. Meiklejohn folded his wings, looked wise. Last week he found a new roost to fly to. In San Francisco next September he will head a new "Adult Center for Social Studies." No entrance requirements will be set, no credits will be given. Dr. Meiklejohn will help radicals, businessmen, teachers, artists, laborers, preachers and scientists in scrutinizing contemporary civilization and its problems. Presidents Sproul of California. Wilbur of Stanford and Reinhardt of Mills endorse the plan. But most notable is the list of tycoons who sponsor it. Some years ago the University of California board of regents, heavily influenced by utility men. voted not to let "Radical" Meiklejohn speak to the students. Deeply chagrined were many liberals, including Art Collector Albert Bender. Last week Mr. Bender's name was on the list but so were names of such conservative stripe as: Banker James K. Moffitt, Paint Man Parmer Fuller. Director Wetmore Hodges of General Foods Corp. Others: Lawyer Albert Rosenshine, Architect Irving F. Morrow (Golden Gate Bridge), Banker-Author Jesse Lilienthal (Gambler's Wife), Socialite Robert Hooker. Dr. Thomas Addis, Ophthalmologist Hans Barkan, President Daniel Koshland of Juvenile Court and Poet Marie Welch, daughter of Shipping & Sugar Man Andrew Welch.
