To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

No one enjoyed your blast against proctoring more than we who operate that benevolent system, for you emphasize what we've been trying to din into our erudite hatchet-men since the year John Harvard got his famous flunk in History 1.

But did you ever consider that what seems over-zealousness on our parts may be nothing but a defense mechanism--to keep awake? For can you imagine a more monotonous occupation than three hours of watching men who need to watching, even if they are handsome, husky and dynamic Harvard men? And did you ever consider that all the average proctor has to look forward to are a PhD and immediate banishment to the wide, open spaces where, though men may be men, they're certainly not Harvard men?

So let's compromise. We'll do our best to mend our nefarious ways and you--you just continue to be your exemplary selves.

Or perhaps here's the solution. Let's move the Radcliffe gals over at once and then the proctors will never look at any of you again. Yours for more enjoyable exams,   Stanley Leonard   Supervisor of Examinations
