EMPLOYEES ON OVERSEERS

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The proposal on your editorial page May 23 that everyone connected with the University should be represented on the Board of Overseers is excellent, but why draw the line at students and those holding Corporation appointments? All Harvard employees should be eligible. Many individuals have worked here for decades. Do we have to wait until we experience the same kind of general strike that hobbled Yale recently for a week before we admit that these men and women have in intense, legitimate and responsible interest in the way the University is run?
