"The militaristic aspect over shadows any incidental good," they letter continued. "We as students of 1 the university for' which the armory; has been proposed earnestly plead. with you .to reconsider the request.l Although this program provides cm-I ,ployment for thousands of men, the same men could be. employed in more' constructive projects of slum clearance and communal housing," it concluded.'
