...years back, in a five-person group crammed into a tiny two-bedroom suite in Winthrop House. At the same time, Winthrop had an unprecedented number of resident tutors. When I suggested in The Crimson an obvious remedy to our predicament, namely reducing the swollen ranks of the rather useless tutors, the response was immediate: a menacing answering machine message from one tutor and an invitation to the Senior Tutor's office for a dressing down for my "ingratitude...

His words may have been particularly abrasive and full of useless generalizations, but are they really any different from the countless letters and articles we read in The Crimson condemning final clubs, blaming them for all manner of social ills? The truth about final clubs is that they are similar to other clubs on campus--the Lampoon, the Kroks, the Black Students Association--where members from different backgrounds come together through common interests, forming life-long friendships in the process.
