To the Editor:

It seems that Jon Appleton ("Keep the personal matter of a professor private," Feb. 13) is proposing that notable but unpleasant matters involving Dartmouth professors should be stricken from newspaper pages.

I do not doubt that she has "enriched the lives of thousands of students," but this is entirely irrelevant if she has been involved in a newsworthy incident, positive or negative. For The Dartmouth to ignore such a story would be outright dishonest.
