Yale Professor Ousted Over War Divisions at Yale
New Haven June. War caused a split in Yale biological laboratory faculty leading to the dismissal of William B Kirkham assistant professor of biology and linked with the university since 1908. Despite a petition by 200 students to retain him, he was not reelected as the prudential committee said it had no power to intervene. He reportedly opposed head of department Ross Harrison amid factions favoring German culture and scholarship and further resignations may follow.
