THE MAIL

(Ed. Note--The Crimson does not necessarily endorse opinions expressed in printed communications. No attention will be paid to anonymous letters and only under special conditions, at the request of the writer, will names be withheld.)

Ed. note--Henry J. Goudey maintained in a CRIMSON interview Thursday that the world was not a globe but a disc with the North Pole at the center. He discounted the existence of a South Pole with the tuference that Admiral Byrd has been laboring under a misapprehension these last few years. The perturbation which his statement has caused is disclosed by the following communication from two undergraduates who choose to remain anonymous.

"Mocking Byrd"

We're all so sorry for Admiral Byrd!

What is the trouble? Why, haven't you heard?

He never stayed home like other folks,

But was lured afar by a popular hoax.

With pity we learn that his life-long goal

Is a non-existent Southern Pole.

For Mr. Goudey, in his new book,

Has proved that the Admiral has been took

Over the bumps: that the earth is flat

Not round. Now, what do you think of that?

We're all so sorry for Mrs. Byrd;

Our hearts with sympathy are stirred.
