...mere fact that the Corporation will conduct its enquiry means that at the present time no criteria for the use of halls exist. If this is so, however, Browder has been excluded without reason. Certainly the Corporation fails to specify any reason--unless by inference it is resting its case on the weak excuse previously advanced by Mr. Greene.

No one seems to take Mr. Greene's objection seriously besides himself; it is uniformly ignored by his critics, who do not bother even to answer it. The Council on Academic Freedom flips it off by stating truly if tritely that "a man is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty in a court...
