Garber Privately Tells Faculty That Harvard Must Rethink Messaging After GOP Victory
Frederick Merk, professor of History, has joined the increasing number of faculty men who have issued statements concerning the poor quality of tutoring school material.
Merk stated last night that after reading the notes sold for History 5a he can say that "they are a reliance worse than useless for any student in the course, whether the student has done his work or not."
Professor Merk reports that the notes contain lecture material four or five years old and that they omit important current lectures and reading. "They are filled with errors of fact and generalization which would likely betray any student's answers based on them," Merk said.
The history professor labeled the notes "a variety of bootleg manufactures of wood alcohol, producing blindness in examination," and further declared, "They are a waste of money to buy and treacherous to use."
Merk advised any student having difficulty in preparing for the examination in History 5a Monday to go to the Board of Supervisors for aid.
