...convincing others of the rightness of one's cause, or of the need to transform Harvard's relations with the world at large, or Harvard's procedures of decision. The best way is to put forth intelligent proposals, to use existing mechanism in order to persuade others, to suggest and promote new mechanisms, to mobilize support behind such proposals--in other words, to make use off all the opportunities provided by the University without violating its basic commitment to reasoned discourse.

The results strongly suggest that the central theme of the young in protest against hypocrisy and double standards has more going for it in terms of potential public support than might have previously been imagined...
...sentence-by-sentence analysis of the petition, the Committee's statement questions most of the petition's points. The petition asked that "no student involved in the demonstration be suspended or expelled, including those on probation". The statement implies that the Committee cannot accept this position because it would "suggest" that "probation is a very ineffective form of discipline, at least as a deterrent" to disruptions...
