To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
Professor A. M. Schlesinger Jr., in his letter to you, has answered his own question. The current Harvard undergraduates are far from "scared." They are just being smart. They do not intend to be bored by, to use Professor Schlesinger's own words, a "second-rate actor and a third-rate novelist." The students are showing intelligence by refusing to waste time on mediocrity who attempt to gain attention by striking radical poses.
It is a pity that the governing body of Harvard does not exhibit the same good sense in dealing with a pair of credulous donkeys such as Shapley and Furry. The latter pair prove that most professors, when not actually in the class room, should be kept hung on a hook in a closet. Russell M. Cook '27
