" A6 *XX PERGLER ASSAILS RULEBYDTATORS Declares, in’' Reply to-Butler, They Are Products of Backward Nations. Dictatorships generally arise only in e counties. and thelr teaders, | e therefore, have only the “iliusion of greatness, Dr. Charles Pergler, dean of National University's graduate de- partment, declared last night in reply 1o Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, who last week eceorted that _dictatorships produced reai intellectual glants, while democra: ries b ‘midgets into the seats of 5T gL In #m same address, at the formal opening of National University's sixty- third Fall term, Dr. Pergler, who shared the speaking platform with three Fed- eral justices, warned that in America today there is too much legislation that is not supported by established custom and public opinion. Replying to Dr. Butler, Dr. Pergler sald that a dexocracy presupposes a high level of education among its masses and, therefore, its leaders do not tower #0 hizh above their fellows. “Tilusion of Greatness.” “It is worthy of note,” Dr. Pergler asserted, “that dictatorships usually arise in countries at least comparatively backward. In a backward country, a dictator may tower over his fellowmen., but that may be an llusion of greatness and no more. It does not follow, as Dr. Butler seems to think, that contempory | democracies have placed midgets in the seats of the mighty.” G S U Charges Permit for New Plant to Rival Congern .

The result is lawlessness, which wouvld not exist if the nature of law &nd its origin and growth were bet- ter_understoed.” On the platform at the opening exercises were Chief Justice Fenton W. Beoth of the United States Court of Claims, who is professor of the elements | of jurisprudence at National, and Jus- tice Oscar R. Luhringof the District of | Columbia Supreme Court, professor of | suretyship law at the institution. Both spoke briefly about their courses. Dr. Hayden Johnson, chancellor of National, presided, and paid tribute to Dr. Charles Francis Carusi, former chan- cellor, and Justice Prederick L. Siddons of the District of Columbia Supreme Court and veteran member of National's faculty, both of whom died during the | past year.
