To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
What kind of chatter is this about "discriminatory" scholarships" When did it become popular to tell people they can't give gifts to the person or persons they want to get them? Whose business is it whether Mrs. Day gives a gift to Anglo-Saxons, to Jews, to people from New England, or to people named Murphy?
Furthermore, these are the days of Associations for the Advancement of Colored People, Associations for "Minority" rights, and contributions to Israel. That's the business of those who make it their business. But I do not see how anybody who shares in such activities can unblushingly squawk about a bequest in aid of Anglo-Saxons. It's a movement from the censorship of singers and the censorship of movies to the censorship, now, of bequests.
It's this kind of small-spirited aggressiveness that pushes people from the middle of the road to the loudest pulpit on the right. Werner D. Mueller '49 2L
