To the Editors of The Crimson:
The World will rejoice that the Crimson has decided to "stop short of calling for scrutiny of individual recommendations" written by members of the Faculty of Medicine ("Letters of Reference," 22 February.) Some will wonder, however, at your failure to mention the problem within the College. No Crimson editor, of course, would solicit or accept a letter of reference that was other than ruthlessly candid. Lesser undergrads and their mentors, however, have been known to connive at contriving letters that lout the student in "the most positive light possible." The "moral dishonestly" you so properly condemn begin close to home, and some small acknowledgement of that fact would lend grace to you righteousness. E. L. Pattullo Director, Center for the Behavioral Sciences
