Orthodox Hedonist

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

In order to carry out the principles of my religious faith, which is Hedonism, I am obliged to observe certain distary restrictions. For example, my religion requires me to cat filet mignon and devil's food cake with fudge frosting on Friday; to consume cocktails before and after each evening meal, and to abstain entirely from certain uninteresting foods, such as fish.

I am required by the College to pay for my board at the House dining room, and yet no effort is made by the College to provide board which I can with a clear conscience ingest. Yet at the same time every facility is provided for the benefit of the followers of certain other sects who observe Lenten restrictions on diet.

I appeal to you and your readers the question of whether or not this is in accordance with the principle of religious non-discrimination. It may be that the College does not intend to discriminate, but is unaware of the existence of Orthodox Hedonists at Harvard. David F. Ross '50
