Manning of the Protes tant Episcopal Church criticized last night the appointment of Bertrand Russell as a professor at the City College of New York and character ized the British philosopher as a “recognized propagandist against both religion and morality" who “de fends adultery.” Mr. Russell, now teaching at the University of California at Los An r.. - — _: geles, will Join the City College fac ulty in 1941. Replying to the clergyman's charges. Dr. Nelson F. Mead, acting president of City College, said In a statement that Mr. Russell had been Invited to teach courses in mathe matics and logic and not to dis course on his personal, ethical and moral views, "to which as an indi vidual he Is entitled.” Cites Passage Prom Book. Bishop Manning, In a letter to the New York Herald-Tribune, quoted this passage from one of Mr. Rus sell’s books, "Education and the Good Life’’: ‘ ‘In teaching my own children, I shall try to prevent them from learning the moral code which I re gard as harmful ... I shall not teach that faithfulness to our part ner through life is in any way desir able, or that a permanent marriage should exclude temporary episodes.” Then the bishop asked: "What Is to be said of colleges and universities which hold up be fore our youth as a reputable teacher of philosophy and as an example of light and leading, a man who Is recognised propagandist against both religion and morality, and who specifically defends adultery?” Called Brilliant Thinker. Dr. Mead declared that Mr. Rus sell’s writings on morals "comprised an almost negligible proportion of his published works.” "Mr. Bertrand Russell is regarded by scholars throughout the world as one of the most brilliant thinkers of our day,” Dr. Mead added. John T. Flynn, economist and member of the college's Administra tive Committee, said It was his opin ion It was "unfair” for Bishop Man ning to “lift a quotation out of his books to make It appear that he favors adultery.” "Re Is a man of highest character whoee morals will compare favorably with those of Bishop Manning,” Mr. Flynn said. , Mothers of England have been warned not to have evacuee chil dren return home.
