Pedro Arrupe, General of the Society of Jesus, sent a twelve-page letter to American Jesuits, accusing them of failing to do enough for the Negro. "The racial crisis involves, before all else," wrote Arrupe, "a direct challenge to our sincerity in professing a Christian concept of man." Arrupe laid down a series of suggestions for U.S. Jesuits, including the creation of new missions in urban ghettos.

...Advisory Council is the direct outgrowth of the Dow protest and the issues which that demonstration raised. By denying the probationed protestors the privilege to seek election to the Council, the Administration would undercut the Council's purpose and spirit. A wise solution would be for the Administrative Board to end probation for the demonstrators at midyear. Then the activists would have a fair chance to seek election, no regulations would be violated, and the probation would still have its deterrent effect. But even if the Board does not shorten the term of probation, the purpose and potential importance...
