Mr. Rogers Says--

"The public has the college man all wrong. We, his teachers, know him better. I have been glad, also, to see that in all the letters disagreeing with me--agreements and disagreements are running about 50-50, which shows that I opened up a real problem and not a mere space filler--only one of the letters to date has been abusive. The rest have been beautifully courteous and reasonable.

"The only really nasty comments have come from the professionals--an occasional politician, evangelical clergyman and editorial writer--who, of course, have to say what their publics expect them to say, the old line about Lincoln, King George III' and the Declaration of Independence, which does not seem to me to be particularly applicable. I have been an editorial writer myself, and knew that nothing is easier and juicier than to be able to take a high-minded and critical 'one when somebody has told an unpopular truth. As for my younger brethren at Harvard, on the Crimson, in the 20 years since I was graduated, I have never once known the Crimson to fail to run true to form, a naive and charming and complete ignorance that thought can exist outside Harvard. . . ." Professor R. E. Rogers in the Boston Herald.
