Re the ex-students letter
questioning Rice's quality—I
found his letter extremely
inculcating, perspicuous, and
punctilious. His point is well
taken, and it is an issue'which
we cogitate on prodigiously
and pragmatically until an
unequivocal polykobical ans-
wer can be found. I would help,
but I don't know what the
question is.
