To the Editor:
Elliot Olshansky (The Dartmouth, Sept. 25, "Football Doubters Still Smiling After Loss to Raiders") characterized Colgate as "lowly." What, I wonder, could he have meant? Dartmouth hasn't beaten Colgate in years, and Colgate is almost always competitive both in and out of the Patriot League, so he could not possibly have been referring to athletic prowess. If he is referring to academic prestige, then such an allusion has no place in an article about football, of all things. I'll leave it at this: If Mr. Olshansky views Colgate as "lowly" (for whatever reason), then I dare him to express this view to Dartmouth's Chief Legal Officer and College Counsel, himself an alumnus of Colgate. Puerile name-calling is beneath the dignity of anyone in an institution as stellar as Dartmouth.
