Potentially strong liberal forces have not gotten together in any meaningful way yet, they desperately need good leadership. McCarthy forces made impressive liberal gains in suburban St. Louis this spring, but have failed to align themselves with the progressive black community leaders in the inner city. Instead they are associated with the old Negro bosses who are on the way out. In Kansas City McCarthyites dumped the last remnants of the Pendergast machine with whom Harry S.

...such circumstances it is the obligation of the university to rebel against the violation of man and align itself in public with humanity. Today, the university is required to condemn the government of the United States for its barbaric crusade against the life and spirit of the people of Vietnam. A university that will not speak for man, whatever tasks it continues to perform, has ceased to be a human enterprise...
