...letter to the editor written by Jarrett N. Blanc '97 (May 10) completely misunderstood the purpose and significance of the April 25 non-disruptive protest of Kenan Professor of Government Harvey C.

I often disagree with Mr. Mansfield's views on contemporary social and political issues, but I also know that he is a distinguished scholar who is happy to discuss his opinions with interested students. Such discussion is precisely why it is valuable to have such a superb...
