Letter to the Editor: On the replacement of the House Master title

By Harvey C. Mansfield

To the Editors of The Crimson:

To aid in the furious thinking going on in the administration for a name to replace "Master" of a House, I would like to propose a College competition to decide a suitable replacement.

To start things off, I will offer two possible new titles: "Marshmallow" and "Mouse." So as to avoid a sexual preference, both sexes should be content with the name "Co-Marshmallow" or "Co-Mouse." "Co-Marshmallow of Currier House," say, sounds pretty good.

Entries should be sent to an appropriate Dean.

Yours truly,
Harvey Mansfield '53
