To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

Friend Cuthbert Wright in his letter of November 4 is indulging in a variant of the old and fascinating game of priest-baiting--fascinating because the gentlemen of the cloth invariably fume so furiously and at the same time so impotently. But this same estimable sir is unfortunate in that the felicity of his pen is unmatched by the maturity of his criticism. If there is anything more offensive than the merriment of parsons it is perhaps the juvenility of minds.

In the first place, he is unjust to the two men who give the course in an excellent and scholarly fashion without any undue obeisance to the hallowed anachronisms which characterized early Christian institutions, to say nothing of its latter day successors. Institutional religion (which, I fear me, Cuthbert confuses with Religion) has been subject to trial and error and the absurd circumlocutions of the early church fathers justly merit amusement for their logic as well as veneration for their audacity. I suggest that if liberality of approach be too much for Cuthbert he might strike his tents from the pleasances of Cambridge and set them up in Bob Jones College, Florida, the last stronghold of fundamentalism and all its marks. His ringing tones have placed him on the side of the angels but I am sure that even the seraphim as well as parsons-in-embryo should be permitted an occasional snicker at the laughability of institutions and of youth.
