at the same time, I would
recommend that you keep the
heavy artillery under wraps
until your own house is in
order.
Furthermore, I would
suggest that you refrain from
specifically casting aspersions
on any university. Such
conduct is discourteous, to say
the least, and not in keeping
with your usual editorial
excellence.
William Henry Harrison Jr.
Law 2
Law 2
(Your letter seems to reflect a
misunderstanding of our
comparison of the University
to Nebraska, Southern
California, and Michigan [being
but examples of any Big 10, Big
8 or Pacific 8 institutions]. We
fully recognize the fine
academic record of some of
these universities.
The thrust of our argument
is that by admitting "high
school jocks whose college
board scores don't total 800," a
school compromises its
academic standards in order to
build strong athletic teams.
And this is a compromise
which we do not want to see
take place at Virginia.– Ed.)
