To the editors:

Kudos to Professor Kenan Professor of Government Harvey C. Mansfield Jr. '53 for his outspoken criticism of political correctness and mediocrity at the most recent Faculty meeting. Mansfield has again proved himself to be one of the most courageous members of the Faculty, questioning the unquestioned assumptions and orthodoxies of his colleagues, even when it earns him only "gasps" and "hisses." ZACHARY L. SHRIER '99   Oct. 21, 1998
