To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
It is always a pleasure to find some news of Amherst in the pages of the CRIMSON, but I must tell you that the name of our good dean is ESTY, not Estey as it appeared in the editorial of the 25th.
Since the present Dean Esty is only the latest member of a long and unbroken line of Amherst teachers and administrators of that name, and since your newspaper will probably be writing in the future about Dean Esty or his descendants, it would seem well that you be apprised of the proper spelling.
I am wondering how it is that the name was changed in this fashion, for it was spelled correctly in the Nation. Perhaps the "ey" is a Harvard localism, like the British "...our," of which I have been unaware. yours &c., N. H. Hoyt Amherst '57 1 Law
