To the Editors of the Crimson:

My attention has been called to a printed circular sent out by a person who describes himself as "a tutor of eight years' experience," offering aid in Economics by "an experienced assistant in close touch with men in the Department."

The implication in this circular that officers of instruction in the courses in Economics aid in coaching of this kind, or are "in touch" with it, is quite without warrant. And it is hardly necessary for me to say that assistants and other instructors do not engage directly in tutoring in their courses. The statement above quoted is simply a misleading advertising device. F. W. TAUSSIG.
