...letter of the tenor which appeared in the Saturday's CRIMSON is doubly inexcusable when a person realizes that it comes from one in Mr. Wheelwright's position. It was not only extremely poor taste but grossly presumptive.

The last paragraph is perhaps out of place. "At Oxford," said the immortal master of Balliol, "not even the youngest of us is infallible...
