In February, 1962, Harvard's now-defunct peace organization, Tocsin, conceived and led a march of 6000 collegians, urging President Kennedy to continue his moratorium on nuclear testing and to abandon his fallout shelter program. Despite many similarities, however, the two marches differed fundamentally on goals and on means of attained their objectives. These differences illustrate changes which have taken place in the student peace movement in the intervening years. In 1962 Tocsin was led by one of the most charismatic...
