As an alumnus, former class treasurer and former class agent, I was tremendously disappointed to see that the summer 2014 Williams Magazine included at least three instances of the “F” word (“Higher Edukation”). What is wrong with you? Why has the college embraced the race to bottom? There is nothing artistic or redeeming in publishing profanity. Where is truth, beauty, or goodness exemplified in the use of such a crude term, and why should I continue to support an institution that displays such terrible judgment?
