...open discussions and in an open letter calling on Harvard to promote corporate withdrawal from South Africa, the Faculty became a definite participant in what President Bok terms the ongoing debate on South Africa. Instead of continuing passively to observe the wrangling of the Corporation and anti-apartheid groups, a significant number of the Faculty joined the debate over the University's responsibility as a shareholder to non-whites in South Africa, voiced its dissatisfaction with current University policy and proposed an alternative policy that would promote corporate withdrawal from South Africa...

From his anti-Nazi -oratorio, A Child of Our Time (1941), through such an instrumental-cwra-vocal work as his Symphony No. 3 (1972), he has charted the precarious survival of humanistic values in a violent, technological age.
