By the Associated Press. BOSTON, March 1.—A finding that the Montana state board of education “was gullty of a grave dereliction” in prohibiting Arthur Fisher, professor of law in the University of Montana, from meeting his classes without a statement of its reasons, was made Public last night by the committeo of academic freedom of the American Assoclation of University Professors, The committee expressed “hearty agreement” with the service commit- tee of the university in its conclusion that “no valld reason for terminating the contract of Mr. Fisher” e and that there was nothing un, otic or unworthy in Mr. Fisher's duct during the world. war. It found that there was “no adeguate reason for negotiating a contruct profession~ ally, even though it be honored finan- clally.” “It i8 impossible,” the committee re- ported, “to engage any professor in an educational institution on the con- dition that he refrain from ‘partisan or contentious activities.

Soon after Mr. Fisher's appointment as professor in September, 1920, ap- peals were made for his dizmissal be- cause of his connection with a news- paper which was the organ of the Non-partisan League and the farmer- labor party. Later charges were pre- sented by the Montana state depart- ment of the American Legion to the gutz board of education asking for his dlemissal because of alleged un- patriotic conduct during the war. The board voted Mr. Fisher leave of absence with pay until the expira- tion of his contract. This prevented him from meeting his classes, and he Tequested the professors’ association committee to investigate and report on the case. Bus Destroyed by Fire. [Special Dispatch to The Star.
