...Harvard face up to its obligations in the future, for they arose from the deeper problem that the organization of the University does not reflect the needs of those it effects. A change in the structure of the University can guarantee that Harvard's power will serve and not destroy...
...record of Harvard's readiness to listen to--and act on--demands for change is persuasive evident that the student confrontation was wilfully (sic) sought, not to reform but to destroy.

During the course of the proceedings, there are enough bombings, murders and conflagrations to satisfy the most television-sated kid in the crowd. Even some parents may get a kick out of Bureau, especially if they come prepared...
