...sure, a "germ of truth" in your leading editorial of September 25. But aside from the subtleties of its somewhat Hearstian hyperbole and misplaced emphasis, we feel that you wound up in severe contradiction. The bluntness of your concluding statement indicates a spirit of intolerance more alien to Harvard than that of which the defendant Admonition is accused. After all, gentleman, as you yourself implied, tolerance thrives in an atmosphere of criticism. Logically, the more critical an opposition becomes, the more tolerance should be extended.

The agreement let Sterling make Farben products and sell them in Latin America, but only on commission (25%). Sterling processed these drugs (usually from German raw materials), had $10,000,000 worth of plant in Latin America, but the drugs bore Farben's names. The agreements, until last week, still...
