‘The Architect of the Whole Plan’: Harvard Law Graduate Ken Chesebro’s Path to Jan. 6
It is one month too late for him to appreciate, but John U. Monro '34, former Dean of Harvard College, has finally received public praise for his controversial letter to the Freshman class last spring on drug use. It comes in the form of a "Dear Abby" letter in today's syndicated column.
The letter goes: "Dear Abby: I am with you all the way on your stand against marijuana and LSD. Don't let anyone tell you that the best colleges and universities are indifferent to its use by their students. I am enclosing (sic) a letter to the editor of the Keene, N.H. Evening Sentinel, which also runs your column. Readers always read Dear Abby, so I hope you feel this letter is worthy of publishing in your column.
MUNSONVILLE READER DEAR READER: Thank you for your fine suggestion. I agree, the letter is worth republishing. Here it is."
And so on.
