8-THE PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1st, 1956 Of Many Things By Ambrose Hills ACADEMIC HOGWASH University professors get to think- ing they are profoundly wise. This ain't necessarily so. It is true: that they have a good deal of book learning---but that does- n't mean much, unless it is coupled with real life exeperience. I know one professor who remembers every: thing. he ever read; Lut, aside from his remarkable memory, he has about as much ir the way of brains as my thumb. Recenlty, a famous writer, Adela Rogers St. John, wht has made im- portant contributions to the art of the short had something to say about the isolated viewpoint of "ster- story, ile and frightened professorial minds." She spoke of the considered views of a professor from a highly respeeted university as being "pure academic hogwash." I wish some of our outstanding Canadian writers would tangle with a few of the Canadian university pro- fessors who are also spouting "pure academic hogwash" a good deal of the time. I've heen reading a report of the comments made hy Prof. Lower, paid, advance. RED & WHITE PURE Peanut Butler ' 16-07. jar Honey STOKELY'S PEAS before the Royal Commission on Broadcasting, and his observations certainly have the dull ring of lead coins and seem to me about as sterile and frightened as hogwash, academic or otherwise, could be. Prof. Lower is still fighting the war of 1812. He would have us base all Nr broadcasting activity on his fear of the U.S.A. and of individual initia- tive. 'Like many academicans, he is so fearful of phantom dang¥rs that he would hve the a wrap its protective arms around all human activity, with the possible exception of his own. . 2 Well, Professor, a good many Cana- dians. agree with Adela Rogers St. Johns that "too much inaccurate and prejudicial balderdash comes out of the ivory towers." The unfortunate part of all this is that there are so many folk who look with awe at profesors, and drink in this hogwash as if it were well-brewed wisdom, Instead of trusting to their own brains and experience, they take the attitude that the college profes- iors ought to know what they are talking about because they are "edu- cated." Consequently, the Royal Commission on Broadeasting Ticars little from the man of experience, and much from the cloisters, and from those who have been indoctrinated by the fears and prejudices of academicans. As a re- sult, this lusty, lively, rapidly-grow- Checls Your Lael! Please take a glance at the label on your paper now.
