...have little admiration for the Harvard Administration or its sheriff, Archibald Cox. But when Cox fought back tears to continually plead, "I beg of you to let the speakers be heard," he commanded my empathy and respect. When rational discourse and reasoned argument are abandoned for obscene rhetoric and frenzied screaming, the time has come not to reassess national but personal priorities, and determine what we are learning and living and fighting...
...days before the incident in Sanders Theater the Faculty Council reminded the University community that "deliberate interference with... freedom of speech (including that of any speaker invited to express his views) ... is incompatible with a free university and unacceptable." During the disruption itself Professor Archibald Cox, on behalf of the President and Fellows of Harvard College, similarly stated that "freedom of speech is indivisible.

Galeski notes that crew is a large burden because of the incredible amount of practice time it requires. "Sometimes I have my doubts as to whether it's all worth it, but then again, I enjoy crew...
...decision is a sad one because the principle at stake-the freedom for teacher and student to conduct intellectual inquiry free of external and internal controls, the University's application of the freedom of speech-has itself so often received such shabby, lip-service treatment here at Harvard. Mr. Cox has reminded us of the many controversial figures who have found lecterns open to them at Harvard, from George Wallace to Fidel Castro; but we also recall the cases, like that of Pete Seeger, where the same freedom was denied. We are reminded of the vigorous campaign that President Pusey...
