UNDER OATH

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

I have sent the following letter to Provost Paul H. Buck:

Dear Sir:

I have read your statement in regard to the exoneration of three professors at Harvard, one of whom you claim was guilty of grave misconduct, and the other two of misconduct.

There is a thing you have forgotten, the willful violation of the teacher's oath law. Two admit they were members of the Communist party and when they took the teacher's oath, they had no intention of upholding it, and this is a wilful and deliberate violation. And how do you know whether or not they are still members of the Communist party? Because they told you they got out of it nine years ago?

There's a possibility some of them may be now hiding behind the statute of limitations, as they were hiding behind the Fifth Amendment. Thomas Dorgan   Clerk of the Superior Court   Suffolk County
