...equals in training, knowledge, and experience. To ignore greater educational qualifications and long-term professional commitment to scholarship in the shaping of educational policy is a sure road to disaster. All this is not to imply that faculties are infallible or that student testimony on teaching ability, course content, and degree requirements does not have great value. It is simply to stress that what distinguishes faculty from students is greater professional training, competence, and experience, and it is the weight of these qualifications which make it essential that the Faculty continue to exercise predominant authority on issues of scholarship...
Elusive Signal. Such an attitude doubtless helps to preserve a man's balance amidst the futility. As viewed from Paris, the talks now promise little progress for the next 12 or 13 months. Hanoi, this theory goes, will be content to do nothing until it sees how many more troops Nixon withdraws, how the South Vietnamese fare in replacing American forces, how much more antiwar sentiment develops in the U.S. The Communists may even be willing to await the outcome of next fall's congressional election.

But for the moment, at least, the party at large was content to hear his heartening news and his stirring speech...
...even granting those fears were sincere, the Faculty's handling of the motion on the Vietnam Moratorium is difficult to understand. The Moratorium resolution may have seemed tainted with political content, but the Moratorium itself has gained such widespread support that a mere expression of "support" could hardly have been viewed as a precedent. If the Boston City Council finds this protest worthy of endorsement, and three local universities have cancelled classes to observe it, then the Faculty should have been able to suspend its long-guarded neutrality...
