Graduate School Dean Was 'Clamming,' not Planning

While I enjoyed your article on the summertime activities of Harvard administrators, one monstrous mis-quote prompts this note.

You stated that I had taught myself to plan "on my toes." While such a feat would greatly amuse my colleagues, who would attest to my flat-footed approach, I was actually talking about clamming. Having been a student of this resilient beast for several years, becoming conversant with his habits, movements and gregarious behavior, I cast my bull rake aside this summer and taught myself. I told your reporter, to clarn "with my toes."

Thanks for this chance to get the raw truth out. Jerome T. Murphy   Dean   Graduate School of Education
