...Faculty voted to remove ROTC from campus. But beginning in 1976, students cross-registered in MIT's programs with Harvard's consent. University policy treated ROTC as an extra-curricular activity, on a par with sports of dramatics...
...written on Church, Martin Johnson Heade or John Singleton Copley, there were 100 on Pollock and 200 on Picasso. The track of pioneer scholars in this field, like John Baur and Lloyd Goodrich, was hardly more beaten than Lewis and Clark's.
