...personal film about Harvard, what material and methods do you choose? The way this college affects most of its students is very indirect, ideological, non-material. A film about Harvard's concrete, material effects, though a fine political documentary, would be irrelevant to our personal experience. On the other hand, our experience of Harvard depends so much on trivial incidents, details of personal style, facades, momentary impressions about people and situations that creating a coherent plot and characters is very difficult.

That is the case even without backlash from the outside, which if course aggravates the situation. To put the point offensively, serious and sustained intellectual work is incompatible with too militant a search for immediate social justice. So much the worse for the universities, some might say. Since, in the real world, efforts by militant moral vanguards to impose a new moral code on an unwilling population have generally led to massive cruelty, there are stronger grounds than mere academic self...
