To the Editors of the Crimson:
I always read with interest anything from the pen of Professor Wald. In The Crimson of April 5 he wrote:
"If I remember rightly--and I think I do--at the time ROTC at Harvard came under fire, exceedingly few Harvard undergraduates were in the program. Something like 90 per cent of the persons enrolled were law students heading for the Adjutant General's Office."
In the academic year 1968-1969, when the decision was taken to phase out and terminate ROTC at Harvard, the total enrollment in the Army, Navy, and Air Force units was:
College: 202
Law School: 98
Business School: 23
GSAS: 11
