These views give a grossly distorted impression. The attack, as all those of us present in the building can attest, did not simply or accidentally "beat up someone" ; it was built upon violence, its reason was violence, and it struck widely, capriciously, and cruelly. This invasion should not be dignified as a political act, nor dismissed as a tactical error, but considered a set of serious crimes against innocent people, best handled by University discipline and by the public police and courts.

Such educational opportunities at Harvard would help the black student to justify his separation from the larger black community--and would attest that the separation was by no means radical or permanent...
