...obstruct the government in every conceivable way -- if we do, in fact, have mankind's best interests at heart, and not merely a chauvinistic longing to keep the brainless bureaucracy running at top speed.

...CASE against giving Harvard course credit for ROTC training is easy to construct. Instructors in the program hold regular Corporation appointments but unlike their colleagues are selected by an outside body--the military--rather than the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Until this fall, security clearances were required for some ROTC classes and despite dribbles of reform, the courses still follow standardized formulae promulgated in Washington.

The Negro in the south has always been in a difficult learning situation; today the situation is more acute than ever, as high school age Negroes are cast into competition with high school whites. It is difficult...
