To the Editors of the Crimson:
Although I heartily endorse the sentiments of your previous correspondents concerning English C, I wish to protest against the childish attitude of a certain part of the 12 o'clock section, which savors strongly of a schoolboy thoughtlessness, and is in no way becoming to members of the junior class at Harvard.
Low murmuring and scuffling may be a significant, but it is hardly a dignified, manner of expressing impatience, even if half of the class is totally unable to hear a word of what the lecturer is saying. Banging of note books on the benches and heavy stamping of feet may be indicative of the extreme disgust which inspires the class when the instructor threatens wholesale distribution of E's, but it is not gentlemanly and polite conduct which would be naturally expected from upper classmen.
However inaudible and unintelligible the lecturer's words may be, however hostile his methods may appear to our interests as students of argumentative composition, let us, at least, show that we can act in a manner becoming gentlemen at Harvard.
ANOTHER JUNIOR.
