...revolutionary," or "Up against the wall, motherfucker," or "American capitalism is now essentially like European capitalism in the middle of the 19th century." And sometimes such views come to dominate a particular scene to the extent that they actually express, for the moment, the viewpoint of a significant group of radicals. And this may be a necessary stage. But to fasten on any such stage of growth, particularly when events are moving so fast that we have seen anywhere between three and eight "generations" of radicals since 1959 alone is to miss all possibility of comprehension. Eventually, you may want...
...have a "monopoly on moral fervor or political ardor," but we were, it is true, the only group which chose to openly challenge the Faculty's monopoly on a decision whose consequences affect students.

The motivation behind the sit-in was to represent not a group (the student bodies of Harvard and Radcliffe) but a point of view (that no form of ROTC shall be permitted at this University). This point of view, incidentally, had been presented at length at the previous Faculty meeting by Professor Putnam and Mr. Boyd. Ironically, it is a view whose...
