ROSENFELD, PRE-MEDS, AND CANCER RESEARCH

To the Editors of The Crimson:

It is a sad commentary on the competitive atmosphere at Harvard and the general situation of pre-meds in this country that a person as apparently qualified as Steve Rosenfeld should have felt compelled to forge letters of recommendation.

Far more serious is the allegation of tampering with the experiment. If Rosenfeld is indeed guilty--and this would have to be proved by more than mere circumstantial evidence--then he has inhibited the progress of cancer research by wasting the valuable time and grant money of the two scientists involved.
