On Amory's Stationery...

To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

The ridiculous complaint by a College section man, reported n Monday's CRIMSON, that Professor Robert Amory Jr. is guilty of "unfair solicitation of votes" because he wrote letters on Law School stationery, strikes me as a pure example of nonsensical partisanship.

Since the letters in question were sent to faculty members, how could it be said that there was any design to mislead them as to the views of other faculty members? Would the letter of one student to another he interpreted as an attempt to express the views of all students? Certainly not, because the recipient would be well aware that the sender was not authorized to speak for all students. Shouldn't we endow the faculty with at least as much political acumen as the student body?

The use of school stationery is common for all purposes and no one, hitherto, has ever supposed that the writer was expressing anything other then his own views--except, perhaps, "liberale" Ike Mr. Chastain of the Liberal Union, who see a plot against "liberalism" behind every bush. I daresay that not a single recipient of Professor Amory's letters thought they represented anything except a colleague's suggestions; if this is doubted, let the CRIMSON ask them and find out. Otherwise, let's give our professors the courtesy of at least believing them to be honest men--even when we don't agree with their politics. Isn't that the "liberal" way? Daniel M. Sklar, 21
