...against the University is altogether a healthy thing. Harvard has so far been able to ignore a real confrontation with people who feel strongly about the war. It ignored them with a pattycake symbolic punishment at the first Dow demonstration, and it ignored them last week by shutting the door in their face at Massachusetts Hall. Soon, however, it will not be able to ignore the problem. If a coherent Draft Project is set up here, it will probably be an illegal organization (after the Spock tests). Then the University is going to be forced...
...felt as though my body was being desecrated. Once I looked down and I swear my legs ended at the knees. Oh McBain, vile college lad, why did you poke about in the Doctor's speeches and spoil all the careful development of the younger-generation-knocking-on-the-door theme?

While the protesters calmly held to their resolve of Thursday night to demonstrate non-obstructively, the men in Massachusetts Hall pushed a new provocation at the crowd outside. William Bentinck-Smith, assistant to President Pusey, evoked an urbane George Wallace as he guarded the door. The parallel may be imprecise, but Bentinck-Smith risked a serious, possibly violent, confrontation by stubbornly refusing to let more than two protesters in. That authoritarian gesture (contrasted with the tolerance Deans Ford and Glimp showed toward the protest) heightened the symbolic remoteness of the highest level of University Administration from students...
