...incident sounded reminiscent of Civil Rights' days of the early 1960's: a group of black college students from an all-Negro, Southern college attempting to integrate a segregated business establishment. But the scene was Orangeburg, South Carolina--not Greensboro or Selma--and the climax of the demonstration sounded grimly like the outcome of the summer riots: three South Carolina State students dead and more than 60 wounded by the police and National Guard...
...four, among them Cambridge Mayor Walter J. Sullivan and the group's senior member James Fitzgerald, listened without response to the arguments of the other three committee members led by Francis H. Duehay '55, assistant dean of the Ed School.

Along with this intellectual ferment went such ludicrous touches...
...enough to override anyone's civil liberties--to moral righteousness--it's time those kids were taught a lesson. At the opposite pole one professor proclaimed that if they were thrown out, he went too, while many others vigorously supported the students' actions without making them their own. One group was terribly concerned that the University family would be torn apart on the issue and that the students and their faculty would end up more as antagonists than as pupils and teachers in the finest sense of both of those words. After all the meetings and all the behind...
