Aux Provinces

To the Editors of The Crimson:

I congratulate Alison Dundes and Alouette Kluge for bringing "The Nolan Case" before the public eye. It is, indeed, a shame that so fine a teacher must find another academic home away from Harvard. But I question how much this situation is the result of her sex or her political disposition. After all, the same thing happens yearly to the vast majority of junior faculty in the Humanities and Social Sciences, and it happens with a wonderful degree of equality, i.e., regardless of the individual's sex, race, ideology or degree of talent. It will, no doubt, be a long time before this changes, but in the meantime, think of the benefit that Harvard is conferring upon the Provinces. Peter Dale   Assistant Professor of English
