To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
I was discouraged in all the stories I read on Derek Bok to find no references to the fact that he is the son of a very distinguished mother, Nellie Lee Bok, as well as a distinguished father. Also, his wife is the daughter of Alva Myrdal, a very distinguished woman in her own right. Why are fathers automatically more worth mention in the news than mothers-particularly when they are so well known?
I thought closer relations with Radcliffe were supposed to reduce male chauvinism, but it hasn't happened in CRIMSON stories yet. Features on these distinguished women might help balance the picture.Professor of Psychology
