DRINK AND THINK

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Ordinarily I am loath to call your attention to errors in quotes. If you spell our names and list our college classes correctly, most of us are content to leave the rest more-or-less up to you. But since the publication of your fascinating article on Freshman Advising our office has been besieged by students pleading thirst and overwork, like so many crosses between Oliver Twist and the Ancient Mariner.

I still believe that Freshman Advisers, like Departmental tutors, are in a unique position to remind students, on the part of the Faculty, that there is more to a Harvard education than so many hour examinations. But consideration for the many Freshmen I have not treated and shall not treat in the Lucullan manner your article implied requires me to explain publicity that, in my opinion, "lubrication" (as you put it) is not the only alternative to lucubration.
