The Mail

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Your editorial appearing in the Monday. May 16 issue of the CRIMSON contained several inaccuracies which. I trust, you are willing to correct by publishing this letter.

The poll of undergraduate student who take chemistry courses, questioning them about teaching fellows, was devised not by me but collectively by the Department of Chemistry. Professor L. F. Fieser taking the initiative.

The Department has not set up a program of lectures to the teaching follows but has given them one lecture, other instruction in methods of teaching being left to the discretion of individual professors with whom the teaching fellows work.

The eleven prizes awarded to teaching fellows were not "slightly" below $100, but below $100 and varied in amount. G. B. Kistiakowsky.   Chairman, Chemistry Dept.
