"A Bit Late"

To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

In Iris letter, reprinted in the CRIMSON of last Friday Mr. J. Prendergast Elliott voiced the general opinion of most of those who were subjected to the English 72 examination of last week, although, indeed his terms were not those employed by the majority. May I, even at this late date, add my word to his expression of indignation?

Professor Rollins is from the evidence of his examination not much interested in the spirit and essance of poetry. His interest sems to be centered in novels, chronology and similar bricks and mortar of literature. This is after all a good and typically scholarly point of view: but it is to be questioned whether this sort of scholarship is the aim of many of those who listen to his lectures.
