To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
I see that I am quoted in discussing the "Economy of Time in Education" at the Association of American Universities last week as favoring the shortening of the college course to two years. I will ask you to correct this. I expressed the opinion I have long held that a two years' college course preceding the professional studies in medicine or law, is much better than no college course at all, and probably as much as can be expected of most young men. The state universities have recognized this fact by adopting the plan of the combined degree. But I believe that four years of college are far better for those who can give the time; and it is these men who will come to the great endowed colleges. Very truly yours, A. LAWRENCE LOWELL.
