Lurie Should Not Complain About His Harvard Experience

By Ryan J. Larsen

To the editors:

In his column “Senior Gift Minus” (Apr. 6) Jason Lurie did raise some legitimate concerns about the shortcomings of Harvard’s administrators, teachers, and facilities. But in his editorial, Lurie sounds like a spoiled rich kid who gets very angry when he’s not taken care of properly. If any of the starving and oppressed Sudanese he defends so proudly could come study at Harvard, I doubt they would feel so wronged about not having cable television and better meal plans. If Jason hasn’t learned to be gracious and thankful for being among the most privileged people on earth, then maybe that is the greatest failing of his Harvard education.
