Dearest Interim Dean Pilgrim, I am writing to thank you for your acceptance of the Interim Dean of Harvard College position following Dean Gross’s resignation. It was very honorable of you to take this lame duck position until the College is able to find a suitable replacement for this important role. While I have your attention, I would also like to bring up some points of contention regarding your recent letter to the Undergraduate Council, which announced your tyrannical decision to abolish our party grants.

It is a very painful reminder that we are losing our democratic freedom of religion, speech and the press and are moving toward a dictatorship in which organized religion controls what we hear and see. Next, the Catholic League will censor the media from reporting sex crimes by priests and the resulting multimillion-dollar lawsuits. Alton Hardman, ALTUS, OKLA...
...simple thank you was what followed from Coen, but it all got me thinking: look at the unfiltered access afforded to us in the I-AA ranks, the kinds of things that never would happen at other schools. Weekly one-on-one meetings with the head coaches, rubbing shoulders with the opposing coaches from the rival league, even seeing assistants breaking bread in your very own dining hall...
