Erwin rebutted the charges by saying he had only been defending the university against a bunch of SDS'ers trying to take over the campus. (There were maybe two or three SDS'ers at the creek the morning he was inciting to riot. For that matter, there aren't but about 12 active SDS'ers on the campus.) Erwin also implied that the faculty members who voted against him were somehow linked to SDS, and that the whole affair was cooked up by a coalition of trouble-making students and professors.

THIS WAS the first time anyone had ever used police on this campus on any large scale to suppress dissent (a couple of campus cops had once chased a few people out of the Union who were sleeping there), and the city and state police had always avoided the campus.

Everybody not already upset for one of these reasons was just mad because Erwin had broken the non-violent tradition on this campus by, for the first time, using force and outside force at that. He had completely ignored the students and faculty and their alternative plans and opinions...
Representatives of the Organization for Black Unity (OBU) yesterday termed an Administration list of responses to black students' demands of last month "merely a flowery restatement of the status quo vis a vis black employment on Harvard's campus and black participation on Harvard's construction program...
