...Nathan Pusey will leave his post in 1973, when he reaches the retirement age of 66 which Harvard imposed on administrative officers. Since the President and Fellows have "perpetual succession" under the University's 1650 charter, the Corporation will choose his replacement, subject only to consent of the Overseers. Within the next year or so the Corporation will form a search committee to begin looking for a new president, and the men on this committee will talk to "an infinite variety of sources," according to Sargent Kennedy, secretary of the Corporation...

The group which occupied University Hall acted with disregard for the consent and sentiments of the rest of the university community, and showed little or no concern for the "civility" of their disobedience, as evidenced by the ejection of the Deans and by the rifling of files and the publication of their contents. The immediate removal of the group was justified; moreover, the character of the seizure overrode any obligation the administration might otherwise have had to make the civility of the removal their paramount concern...
