"Tutoring, as it is applied in the colleges of today, is a bad habit to get into for the future," declared Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt recently, in a statement for the Daily Princetonian.
Mrs. Roosevelt was depicted as speaking from reliable experience on "the evils of tutoring," since, as she said with a smile, "I was often besieged with my own sons' educational worries when they went through college."
She was referring to her younger sons, John '38 and Franklin D. Jr. '37 who are reputed to have been put through Harvard by one of the Square's best-known tutors in whose office hangs an autographed picture of Franklin D. Roosevelt '04.
The First Lady of the land went on to say that she did not think tutoring is necessary "unless illness or some other equally justifiable reason rendered it vital." "Cramming," she asserted, "should be abolished."
