To the Editor:

The late College President James Freedman's tenure was before my time, but I had heard and read on several occasions how he had helped to make the Dartmouth campus safe for all, particularly women and Jewish students. Last year, studying Higher Education in graduate school, I decided to write a paper on anti-Semitism in academia.

On a whim, I e-mailed Freedman for ideas and feedback. Within days, he had sent me a series of helpful, generous and insightful e-mails. I am truly grateful for having been able to interact with such a shining example of the Dartmouth spirit before his passing.
