Harvard's Loss, Somebody's Gain

To the Editors of The Crimson:

In my seven years at Harvard, Jim Thomson has been one of the warmest, most sensitive, and most humane people in a university not always known for any of these traits. His humor, kindness, and wisdom have benefit text not only the Niemans, but many of the rest of us as well, Jim Thomson's departure is a deep loss for Harvard, and a great gain for any place lucky enough to have him.
