FROM AN 'OLD GRAD'

My wife has just purchased a horribly expensive copy of Vogue magazine which contains a horrible article by an Indian by the name of Noel Perrin who claims to be a big man in the wilds of the north on a reservation called Dartmouth College.

This unfortunate ignorant person took to a panty girdle journal to berate the Harvard crack pots, the gentlemen and the scholars. I hope you will follow the medieval example of my day when I was Managing Editor of the CRIMSON and send all the candidates out to confiscate this journal and cremate all copies available in the Punch Bowl and put the fire out with good beer.

I am unable to deliver the message in person but would have done so if I could have attended my twentieth reunion....
