THE MAIL:

To the Editors of the Crimson:

Please allow me to correct a factual error which appeared in your article on Women's History Week (March 8). You repeat, without comment, a statement that the History Department has made "absolutely no commitment to bringing in a women's historian." In fact, we have among our permanent members an eminent women's historian, Professor Olwen Hufton. I believe that Dr. Michel knows this, as certainly did your reporter, because I mentioned it to him when we spoke. I should like to add that the History Department has been co-sponsoring Women's History Week for some years. Angeliki Laiou   Chairman, History Department
