Oath Of Loyalty
Said Proposed To
Save University
Berkeley, Cal., Mar. 3 (U.R)
The controversial "special" loy
alty oath proposed for Univer
sity of California professors and
other employees was the result
of a suggestion to forestall a
"dangerous" bill In the Califor
nia legislature, a university of
ficial admitted today.
James H. Corley, vice-president
of the university, comptrol
ler and business manager, said
he recommended the special oath
to President Robert Gordon
Sproul in January, 1949.
He said it was presented to
the board of regents, not to af
firm the patriotism of the uni
versity's faculty, but to "save the
state university from being
wrecked by possible political in
fluences." Corley said under an amend
ment introduced in the legisla
ture last year by Jack Tenney,
then chairman of the state un
American activities committee,
the legislature would have con
trol over the university's funds
and over the loyalty of its facul
ty and employees.
"On assurance from university
officials that we would reaffirm
our 1940 declaration of policy,
pledging to keep our institution
free of communistic influences,
the bill was not pressed in the
legislature," Corley said.
He pointed out that the uni
versity was much indebted to the
legislature because of its gene
rous appropriations.
