STILL ANOTHER noteworthy development of the past year was a dramatically increased effort in all parts of the University to make it easier for students from various disadvantaged groups, especially disadvantaged black students, to attend this institution. This was not a wholly new development. The College has been working with mounting vigor for more than a decade to find and admit more students of promise from urban and rural wastelands.

Black graduate students would also contribute towards normalizing the social scene at Harvard...

There is only one way to achieve this goal of local and national importance: to bring more black students into our graduate school; to make it financially possible for them to attend; and to see to it that they successfully complete their program of graduate education...
