To The Editors of the CRIMSON:
I regret very deeply that the question of Harvard's African course offerings has been cast in racial terms-black Harvard vs. white Harvard. For the problem clearly transcends this issue and brings to light a more crucial one: whether Harvard can afford simply to ignore the study of close to fifty developing countries, an entire continent in its most important period of change.
The most important question here is not whether the black student is to be denied the opportunity of taking "relevant" courses but whether any student of social, political or economic development shall be denied that opportunity. Steven Hartz '70
