To the editor:

Congratulations and many thanks to Mark Grimsley and to Lauren N. Haslem and Jennifer L. Foray for their illuminating essays on mental health and the academic world “The ‘Third Resource’” and “A Mind of One’s Own,” (November 2017)—a matter of great concern not merely for historians but for all professions.
