To the Editor:
Craig Colfelt '95 asks the following in a July 12 opinion piece: "To reform the social habits of Dartmouth College, why look to the ideas of career academic administrators who, more likely than not, attended lesser schools than the one they are charged with reinventing?"
How does Mr. Colfelt determine which schools are "lesser" or "greater" than Dartmouth? If "B" is determined to be "lesser" than "A", does this also mean that all graduates of "B" are inherently "lesser" than all graduates of "A"? Can we also rank individuals according to their city or country or kindergarten?
I would like to know how it all works, because apparently judging people based on such personal qualities as competence and goodness isn't sufficient.
