...grateful to James Muller (The Crimson, Dec. 5, 1972) for beginning and to Michael Zeilik II (The Crimson, Dec. 12, 1972) for continuing, a discussion of educational reform and the role of the lecture. The research on higher education with which I am familiar indicates that there is no all-purpose method of learning, which suits every student and faculty's member. Even apart from financial and logistic considerations, we need to be more open-minded than many people presently are concerning what lectures can contribute for which neither Gutenberg nor McLuhan is a ready substitute.

He is to be congratulated, both for his thinking and his courage to express himself. But tell me, who slipped up and let someone so wise get on the Crimson staff...
...Muller, you seem confused. You equate equal admissions with lower educational standards ("educationally waning"), yet you tell us that "Cliffies" are four times as smart as Harvard boys. Oh, I see--if we have equal admissions, we are all equally smart. Aren't those academic standards high enough for you? Do you really want to have to scramble socially and academically to measure up to "Cliffies"? You complain and then grieve of the possible remedy of your complaints...
