...group of Professor Laurence H. Tribe??s current and recent students, research assistants, and teaching assistants. In our view, the Crimson’s recent coverage of the allegation that Professor Tribe in a 1985 book inadvertently failed to give proper attribution to a book by Professor Henry Abraham simultaneously (News, “Prof Admits to Misusing Source,” Sept. 27) overstates the seriousness of that allegation and fails to acknowledge Professor Tribe??s deserved reputation as a scholar...

In truth, what is most disheartening about the whole affair is that Tribe??s colleagues let him down for 19 years by allowing the plagiarism to pass by without scrutiny. All of academia is poorer...
