...much for the doubletalk that masks Harvard's racist admissions policies. Why should black students come to Harvard? Philip Gay, a minority recruiter in the GSAS, reports that black graduate students feel "alienated" and therefore complete their degree programs and leave as quickly as possible (Crimson, November 5, 1974). Dean McKinney and David Evans, an undergraduate admissions officer, inform us that many black students see Harvard as a white-dominated institution, committed to sheltering "scholars" who promote racist ideas, while systematically discriminating against minority students. Harvard admits that many blacks believe this, yet it does not recognize that their attitude...
Although it may be true in some cases that black undergraduates receive lower grades than whites, the context in which this occurs must be understood. It is not that black students are incapable. Rather prejudicial treatment by professors and advisors, the irrelevant or racist content of courses and the day-to-day struggle to survive within an alienating environment all make it more difficult for blacks to succeed...

Everyone who can participate in these activities should...
...important to remember that people outside of South Boston do think of Harvard as part of Boston, and it's important that as many students as possible on Saturday's march come from schools associated with the city, so that as much as possible of the assault on the racist stonings the School Committee's institutional racism has fostered come from the people of Boston themselves. It's important that Harvard, students, this week at least, think of themselves as members of a Boston school, and it's important that they act as responsible members of the city...
