...editors: When I read your editorial about the Supreme Court decision upholding the Solomon Amendment requirement tying federal funding to military recruitment (“Not So Patriotic,” Mar. 13), I thought it must be an ironic humor piece. Poor Harvard must accept $400 million from the federal government, because it is in the best interest of medical and scientific research and of America as a whole. What a sacrifice!

Good prefects forged relationships among freshmen in their entryway, facilitated the connection between older proctors and young freshmen, and provided an invaluable link between the Yard and the Houses. In addition, the program managed a series of Yard-wide, late-night, alcohol-free activities designed to give freshmen something...
