To the editors:
Your article “Men Still Rule on Harvard’s Walls” is little more than revisionist history. Harvard was founded by white men, governed by white men and funded by white men throughout history. Without white men Harvard would never have existed and would cease to exist. I realize that it is politically correct to beat up on white men in an effort to re-write history, but try doing without us for a decade or so and you wouldn’t have walls on which to hang the portraits of women, who have contributed little to Harvard— and, I suspect, have contributed little to Harvard’s huge endowment! Until very recently Harvard was a men’s college, so why would one have expected a great presence of women in its history?
