To the Editor:
As a former trustee, and even more as an alumnus, I am saddened and angry at the latest confirmation ("Smith '88 endorses Asch '79," March 2) that there are people on Dartmouth's Board of Trustees who believe they serve the College by mimicking the worst of electoral politics, including the appropriation of respected symbols (the Board of Trustees' letterhead) to claim a legitimacy that isn't there and the use of innuendo and hyperbole ("Enron board") to replace calm thought with high emotions. There could be no clearer evidence of the importance of Dartmouth alumni voting in the current elections to indicate how they would like to be represented on the highest organ of governance of the College.
