Sir, - According to the new president of UCC, Prof Gerry Wrixon, the college's strengths reside "in the sciences, engineering ... commerce, the food area and the law department" (The Irish Times, March 9th).
Has the Arts Faculty in my alma mater been abolished or is this just another manifestation of the current fashion of downgrading the humanities? - Yours, etc., Breandan O Buachalla,
Magdalene College, Cambridge.
