TIME-TABLE SCHLAMPEREI

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Reginald H. Phelps '30, lecturer on German and acting dean of the GSAS has taken his annual high-principled stand in favor of bureaucratic inflexibility. To the forty students denied scholarships next year because they missed a deadline they'd never heard of, Phelps may seem rigourous beyond necessity. But Harvard is surely better off not coddling such flagrant calender-scoffers. Send them to Vietnam or M.I.T. As an alumnus, I sympathize with Dean Phelps' firm campaign to keep Harvard free of time-table Schlamperei and the crypto-inverts who practice it.

Any other attitude is simply ausgeschiossen. Raymond A. Sokolov Jr. '63
