To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
In your listing of members of the Advisory Council your reporter made the understandable error of including my name among those without tenure. I would let the matter pass had I not heard reports that some students were angry because they thought the University had refused me tenure on account of my political views. Presumably these rumors crop up from time to time because practically all members of the faculty of arts and sciences have the title and duties of associate professor or professor. If possible, I would like to scotch such rumors as unfair to Harvard. My appointment without limit of time goes back to 1951. Since then I have preferred the status of lecturer because it allowed a limited teaching load and time for research and writing. A number of administrative officers, including Dean Ford, and other faculty colleagues have gone out of their way to enable me to maintain this arrangement which is strictly one of my own choosing. Barrington Moore, Jr. Lecturer on Sociology
