Many Thanks

To the Editors of The Crimson:

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Professor Hoffmann and Professor Smith for their open support of Harvard's anti-apartheid movement. Although divestiture may not have a direct effect upon South Africa's racial policies, the symbolism of the effort to divest from firms with South African holdings will not fail to have an impact on the international scene. By questioning President Bok's statement and by earnestly supporting the efforts of the student community at Harvard (both inside and outside the classroom). Professors Hoffmann and Smith have encouraged us to become aware of our role in the world community. Vijaya Ramachandran '86
