Events have forced the Advocate to change, and, if this issue is any indication, we can celebrate the birth of a new and vital era in its history. Most of the contributions were written by undergraduates (which has not usually been true in the past), and most face the problems of writers and writing in the age of Song My and Woodstock.

...special section was produced by TIME's Essay staff under the supervision of Senior Editor John Elson. "The Past Decade: A Romantic Era" was written by Edwin Warner and researched by Raissa Silverman. Gerald Clarke and Harriet Heck were responsible for "The Next Decade: A Search for Goals."

Yet they were not fundamentally attacks upon either his integrity or his character, but rather clashes over the structure of decision-making the Faculty required in the present era. It was not Faculty members occasional lapses in the heat of debate, but rather their final ovation for Dean Ford, which showed the estimation they and the rest of the Harvard community accord him for his undeniable achievements in an exciting position, and for his qualities as a scholar...
