This essay first appeared in The Atlantic Monthly in January 1936.
Recently, under the title, "So Conceived and So Dedicated," Mr. William F. Russell published an excellent paper,1 which starts an interesting train of thought. It shows that the author is a true believer in free speech. It ends with an appeal for freedom, which I found most exhilarating; so exhilarating that I at once determined to take it as a text, as I now do.
