Ramsey said the dorm did not have a formal meeting to discuss what happened but that he and other proctors had spoken to some students about it.

"Hopefully the fact that this has occurred at the end of the year during exams won't cause people to ignore the significance of the event," Ramsey said.

Young said he and Muhammad planned to door drop a letter to all Thayer residents today.

"Such hateful displays cannot be tolerated by this community," Young and Muhammad wrote in the letter, which was obtained by The Crimson yesterday afternoon.

"Although it was completely cleaned off the next day, this message has left a trace which will always remain there for those who saw it there," they wrote. "Hate and ignorance do not respond to graffiti-cleaners, no matter how vigorously applied."

"What they do react to, we believe, is the anger, hurt, and disbelief represented by the twenty-something names of Thayer students subsigned by the next morning" wrote Young and Muhammad in their message.
