...first paragraph expresses the CEP view that men at Harvard should be allowed to meet their military obligations while enrolled as students. The second and third paragraphs indicate the conditions under which such a program might be satisfactory. It should be borne in mind that the majority of Army ROTC and Air Force ROTC students are in the Law School, or elsewhere other than the College. These students are now taking ROTC on a non-academic, extracurricular basis. We see no reason why their participation--and thus their draft deferment--should be ended by the unilateral action of the Faculty...
...guidelines stated in paragraph three are, in the opinion of the CEP, the same guidelines that would be applied to any course or instructor in the Faculty and therefore impose on military studies no more but no less than the same requirements all other courses of study must meet. The only reason for requiring the military to meet more stringent conditions would be political opposition to the military itself, or to the policies' the military are required to implement.

For various reasons, the CEP is of the opinion that efforts should be made to discover whether there are circumstances such that students now (or in the future) fulfilling their military obligations by joining ROTC while at Harvard can do so in a manner consistent with the educational policies of the university. Among these reasons we note...
