To the Editors of the Crimson:

Isn't it remarkable that Mr. Betts, a Government tutor, labels Garrett Eppsas following Spiro Agnew and yet advocates that dissenters at an institution such as Harvard should leave if they don't like what they see. That sounds like Agnewism to me.

Mr. Betts is a tutor, presumably teacher of Harvard students, yet he cannot understand the difference between what grades a student gets and what values are placed in students' heads about excelling (symbolized by the grade A). It is humanity that Garrett Epps is seeking regardless of mediocrity, and Mr. Betts has obviously lost much of the former to escape the latter. Barry H. Gordon '70   Graduate School of Education
