A letter from an alum about Dr. Ruth Westheimer

April 22, 2003

As shown in the enclosed ad, one of Dr Ruth Westheimer’s activities not noted in the article about her (A Moment With) is supplying her picture and prestige to further the sale of mechanical, sexually arousing products.

Perhaps touting "The Eroscillator, recommended by Dr. Ruth Westheimer — the finest mechanical aid developed to help women achieve faster, more intense orgasms" will not appear as objectionable to either Princeton’s students or faculty.

As far as I am concerned it is, and to have Dr. Westheimer teaching a course at Princeton is just one manifestation of the conquest by the women’s liberation movement of what used to be one of our finest universities.
