What About FDR?

THE MAIL

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

To the Editors of The Crimson:

A few weeks ago a Harvard graduate student informed me that no hall, library or dormitory was named after FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt '03).

It is not my intention to criticize Harvard's present policies concerning the naming of the buildings, nor to belittle those benefactors who generously have contributed towards the betterment of the facilities. Rather, I hope to remind summer school students that the president who held office for the longest period of time in the history of the U.S. was a Harvard graduate, something of which I am sure John Harvard himself would have been proud.
