...issues -- educational, political, procedural, disciplinary -- raised by the students brought forth a great variety of responses from the Faculty. These responses often created an impression of confusion. They, along with the new issues themselves, strained further the established procedures, as well as the relations between the Faculty and the group of men who came to be called "the Administration."

The numbers in the building did not exceed 200 to 300, and there was little evidence of widespread student support outside...
...group also voted, however, that their tactics "should not embitter" anyone else planning action during commencement. The SDS co-chairmen were given authority to negotiate over the tactics of the walkout with the Ad Hoc Committee on Commencement, which is planning a silent walk-out from the ceremonies. A meeting off all seniors interested in action during commencement was tentatively scheduled for this evening...
