Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 29, No. 9. 1966.

Exception

Exception

Dr. J. C. Beaglehole, a temporary history lecturer (now Professor of History at VUW) and Mr. N. M. Richmond, director of WEA, took exception to such woolly reasoning. They decided a public protest endorsed by Auckland staff members, would perhaps quieten an hysterical public and allow them to judge such incidents with something like fairness.

Upon drafting a letter to the press, Dr. Beaglehole forwarded it to the president of the college, Sir George Fowlds, for his signature.

The letter discussed freedom of the individual and the need for restraint to ensure this freedom. It suggested there was no evidence to indicate that the court case and rioting were inter-connected.
