Is Prof. Fleming simply being naughty?
Regarding 'The mad ABCs of BSE' (Jan. 19):
Professor Fleming is usually one of the most lucid and clear writer on the campus, but would he please explain what he meant by "BSE was sufficiently repellant when it meant 'Bachelor of Science in Engineering.?' " Does he mean that he found one fifth of the undergraduates at Princeton are personally repellent. Or they are pursuing a repellent course of study. Or are they simply mad?
When my 5-year-old grandson uses bad words, he is told that we will have no such language around here. Is Prof. Fleming simply being naughty? James Wei Dean Emeritus of the School of Engineering and Applied Science
'Repelled' Fleming's remarks are unhelpful
Regarding 'The mad ABCs of BSE' (Jan. 19):
Clearly professor Fleming is free to feel repelled by anything he considers repellent. But I had assumed that an university education means the students learn to think critically, to look into concepts that are yet unclear, and to be able to defend his/her convictions. And professors are available to be role models, particularly faculty columnists of the campus paper. I find it difficult to see how professor Fleming's announcement that he is repelled by "Bacholar of Science in Engineering" serves to help the educational missions of the University.

What is a Princeton degree really for?
Joel IbabaoSo what, in the end, is a Princeton degree really for? I take a more moderate view: Students should prioritize earning potential — unless they feel irresistibly called to something else.
