Butler Denies Outsider Speaking at Columbia Campus
Dr Nicholas Murray Butler, in a February 23 1938 letter to the Columbia College Board of Student Representatives, vows to curb outsider speakers after learning Robert Burke was invited to speak. He argues Columbia must protect its name from unwarranted radical and Communist publicity and clarifies that refusals relate to reputation, not academic freedom.

Butler Gives Reply To Student Board
Mr. Herbert Howe asserts that on the authority of the President and given Burke’s prior Columbia College record, permission will not be granted for him to speak on campus. The Student Board unanimously protested Butler’s action seeking an explanation. The President’s reply faces opposition as a potential violation of free speech and campus discussion rights.
