To the Editor:
I am sorry The Dartmouth saw fit to print the article about the arrest of Professor Vivian Kogan ("Dartmouth French prof arrested for shoplifting," Feb. 12). She has been my friend and trusted colleague for many years. She has enriched the lives of thousands of students. Assuming she is guilty of shoplifting, this seems a personal issue and is insignificant compared to the academic crimes committed by some current faculty and administrators at the College. Let her solve this problem in peace and with the respect and privacy she has earned by decades of service to Dartmouth.
