A Classy Gesture from Ohio State

Retired Penn State faculty member Lou Prato ’59 passes along this email that was sent by five student leaders at Ohio State to member of the Buckeye student body. I just love the message of sportsmanship here:

It is important to remember that neither the athletes nor students of Penn State played a role in these alleged crimes, and that their university has been just as shocked and horrified by the news as we have — they are a proud community and they love their school just as much as we love ours.

And:

…we will remember the victims first, but also keep in mind that our visitors are not the people to whom we should direct our anger.

Below is the email in its entirety. Click on it to get a larger, more readable version.
