To the editors:

Michael L. Develin's comment regarding the Putnam Math Contest (News, Apr. 9) makes me ashamed to be a Harvard student. Develin's condescending attitude toward the "pathetic" competitors in the competition promotes the stereotype of the arrogant Harvard student. How can he suggest that "anyone interested in math should take the Putnam" when he degrades those not on his level of achievement? STACEY J. MULLIN '00   April 11, 1998
