...Pusey sent a letter of Dean Ford announcing the Corporation's decision on ROTC. Pusey first referred to the Faculty's vote to remove academic credit and Corporation appointments from ROTC courses and instructors. He said that the Corporation "sympathizes with and commends" that effort to control the Faculty curriculum, adding, that the Corporation would try to "negotiate with the various military services in an effort to meet the Faculty's desires." But Pusey then said that the Corporation was pleased to see that the Faculty had not voted to expel ROTC. "It would be shortsighted in the extreme...

...well as for Betsy. When the Faculty convened to debate Afro Studies and consider Alan Heimert's strongly worded resolution, Professor Hughes, two-thirds of the way through his term as chairman of the History Department, rose to defend the sanctity of Faculty control over such matters as curriculum and appointment policy.

...within this context and climate that a new conflict was to arise concerning the status of ROTC at Harvard. A considerable number of the students correctly interpreted the Faculty resolution of ROTC of February 4, which aimed at taking ROTC out of the curriculum, as essentially negative to the continued presence of ROTC at Harvard, even though the Faculty had rejected the outright abolition of ROTC. The resolution itself was not free of ambiguities, and various statements subsequently issued by the Corporation and the President were seen by the same students as emphatically affirmative to the continued presence of ROTC...
