In the Same Tone

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

As a Jewish undergraduate, I wish to repudiate as representative of the body of the Jewish students in the University or of any part of them the person or persons who gave out the statements published in the "Boston American" on Saturday and purporting to have been made by "several" or "many Jewish students." Every Jew in the University that I know is thoroughly ashamed of the man or men who in the first place gave out these statements, shamelessly slandering the University and four of its most respected officers, and then took refuge in anonymity. The act was in every way dishonest, cowardly, and despicable.

If there has been no repudiation by the Jewish students before this, it has been due simply to the lack of organization among them. To put an end to this silence, which has seemed to imply their acceptance of the responsibility for the statements, I take the liberty of making one now. LENON MEDOFF '23
