To the Editor:
I read with mixed feelings the story on the Will to Excel's attainments, "Campaign hits most goals" (Oct. 16).
In light of the College's oft-stated dedication to undergraduate teaching, it seems strange that the few areas in which the Will did not excel were undergraduate facilities, undergraduate athletics, and -- to my consternation -- undergraduate arts & sciences. Meanwhile, all three graduate schools exceeded their goals substantially.
Though arts & sciences finished $39 million short of their goal, they did receive $199 million, which, I hope, will be enough to reduce burgeoning class size in the arts & sciences and to fund more upper-level course offerings in the humanities, especially in literature classes, which generally are constrained not only by oversubscription but also by the added indignity of our little ten-week terms.
