Abstract
IN the two years since the British Association's Committee on Post-War University Education issued its report on world-wide university collaboration, much has been done to facilitate such cooperation; and the importance of the contribution of the universities in building the post-war world has become steadily more widely recognized. The universities are vitally concerned with the restoration of full freedom of communication by publication of the results of research, the exchange of ideas by publication and the exchange of visits of men of science and other scholars, upon which so much emphasis has been placed in recent months. Indeed, they must share some responsibility for the action necessary to secure and enlarge the freedom which is one of their most precious traditions-a tradition which has been gravely imperilled in some countries. With the imposition of a particular ideology, the ancient freedom of the universities has completely disappeared, and its restoration is a necessary condition of any true university fellowship and cooperation in the international field.
