...tenth reunion we, the undersigned members of the Radcliffe class of 1960, condemn the Administration's invasion of Cambodia, the continuing killing in Vietnam, and the violent repression of political dissent at home. We support the students' effort to create a more human environment and to change the existing system through political action.

We cannot change this world through violence-we can only end it. But I wonder if people will work in any other way.
