Marc W. Murphy '73 San Antonio, Tex. I strongly disagree. Princeton deserves a president whom the students, faculty, and alumni can look up to for leadership and who will be an example to be emulated. An impeached president who lied to a grand jury, cheated on his wife, dallied with a young staff member, and supported the killing of innocent unborn lives through partial-birth abortions, does not fit that bill. Both have integrity, intelligence, honesty, and a belief in the power of our young.
Mere averages prove nothing.
I must say it is worrying that even at the rank of assistant professor the average of women is lower, since I would imagine that among that recently appointed group, length of service, qualifications, and so forth are pretty much equal. I am holding my own considerable ire in abeyance pending confirmation of the facts as stated by Mr. Just, and the revelation of other facts and circumstances, if any, which might more fully explain what happened. Publication of the George article in the Journal was accompanied by a suggestion that the Prince had bowed to outside pressure in deciding not to print it. The articles were meant to coincide with the president's visit to the campus on Oct. 5. Prof. Wilentz was to write the pro-Clinton column, while Prof. George was to write the piece that would be critical of Mr. Clinton.
