For those...
...that the new president make it an early priority to raise the scholarly standards required of current undergraduates? It is no doubt a thankless task to undertake, but one that would have the minor benefit of improved commentary in The Crimson. DAVID S. GREWAL ’98 February 13th, 2007 Cambridge...
