...growing involvement of many students with these issues inevitably led to increasing interest in the issue of University governance and the general process of decision-making at Harvard. This led, in turn, to an increased faculty concern with the same order of problems. Discontents on the matter of University governance which had long lain dormant were suddenly reawakened. The concrete result of this new concern with University structure led most concretely to the formation of the Student Faculty Advisory Council and of the Fainsod Committee.

Ever since he disrupted a Sunday service at Manhattan's Riverside Church with his demand for $500 million in reparations for American blacks ("$15 per nigger"), James Forman's Black Manifesto (TIME, May 16) has become one of the most hotly debated issues...
