...Your article regarding the dismissal of California's President Clark Kerr [Jan. 27] is disturbing in its lack of perception. Dr. Kerr most certainly did not "lose his cool" during the 1964 demonstrations at Berkeley, nor has he since. If anything, he lost the deserved, rational support of the news media and moderate public in California, who were willing to allow the hue and cry of a few brief, sophomoric disturbances to obscure the significant miracle of Berkeley's steady rise to first place among the nation's-and probably the world's-graduate schools...

...rare mood of harmony on the Berkeley campus, students massed near loudspeakers, sent up cheers as they heard their professors denounce the regents' dismissal of the university president.

...option of making it either a part-time or full-time job. As Kerr's interim successor, one of his longtime aides, Senior Vice President Harry Wellman, 66, stepped determinedly into the job of acting president. A member of the Cal faculty since 1925, Wellman holds a Berkeley Ph.D. in agricultural economics, is considered by the faculty a strong defender of university autonomy. Insisting that he will not be "a mere housekeeper," he vowed to "maintain and strengthen the non- political character of the university" while the regents undertake a nationwide search for a successor to Kerr-a task...
