To the Editor of the Crimson:

The recent mild attack for a course on marriage at Harvard seems to me to expose one of the weaknesses of contemporary college education: students seem unable to known how to learn something if there is no course on the subject. If one has any deep desire to get a well-grounded view of marriage he could get reading recommendations from a tutor in Sociology or a Sociology concentrator. There are a few recent books which discuss the subject as would be done in an undergraduate course and two or three of these are adequate.

There is no need for any such course at Harvard when such information can be acquired with the present facilities. I suggest rather that duplicate copies of some books be purchased, followed by suitable publicity so that one would know their whereabouts. Charles H. Clark '41.
