Dear Sir,

I read the article on Columbia Universtiy and its treatment of Alan Dershowitz regarding the campus debate. I was deeply affected to learn the extent to which my alma mater had become a source of anti-Semitic propaganda, and the disrespect to a distinguished jurist and guest. And the tokenism of a "fact-finding" committee to explore the facts of the treatment fo Dershowitz and "make a report" ... And two members of the five are reportedly biased, having previously signed petitions urging Columbia to divest from doing business with Israel. [It's actually slightly worse than that. -Sol]

I have written President Lee Bollinger of Columbia University letting him know that at age 86, with no children or family, I had planned to donate the full sum for the sale of my house in Lincoln to Columbia U.

This was in gratitude for the six wonderful years of my undergrad and grad education at Columbia.

Today I mailed him a letter telling him that I, and three friends who are also graduates of Columbia, residing in Wellesley, Lexington, and Concord, are so embittered to learn the extent of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel feeling on campus, that we four will find other worthwhile places and institutions for our legacies.

I plan to use graduate records to locate other Jewish grads to sugest that they do the same when settling their estates.
