MADRASSED BOTTOMS

To the Editors of the SUMMER NEWS:

As an undergraduate of Harvard College I am dismayed by the costume adopted by some of my fellow students who are continuing their regular studies here at the summer session. I can understand that those visiting us from other areas, students from colleges of a different tradition, unacquainted with our way of life, see nothing wrong with shorts, sandals, and sports shirts. But Harvard men (much less Harvardmen) should know better. I call upon my brethren to return to the ways of old. Let us distinguish ourselves from the surrounding mass, with some outward sign of our inward grace. Let our sisters of Radcliffe repent their evilly unclad ways and join us in proud return to Cambridge traditions. Jacob Rondelle 59-3
