Mawn ’63, the chairman of Advocates for Harvard ROTC and a retired Navy captain, said in an interview yesterday that ACTA “may not understand what the realistic target is” and that the goal should be official recognition by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, not the opening of a ROTC branch at Harvard...
