Expunging Excoriated

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

To the, Editors of the CRIMSON:

The expunging of the name of Adolf Sannwald from the plaque in Memorial Church is a strikingly ill-considered action. If the plaque is to be a nationalist memorial and so honor only those who happened to fight on our side in the war, it should still not dishonor those on the other. To attempt now to remove the name from the plaque, besides being absurdly expensive and detrimental to the appearance of the plaque, would not merely cease to honor Adolf Sannwald, but would actively dishonor him. A very minor error has been committed. Why spend money merely to make the plaque look worse and perhaps to hurt someone's feelings. Augustus J. Fabens '53
