Disposing, for the moment, of the theory that Harvard can change the NSA by getting out of it, the controversy boils down to a debate over whether the NSA can offer the College anything of value. If participation in inter-college discussions on pilot programs for high-school teaching, on the problem and solution of racial integration, and on the problem of Federal aid to education is valuable, then NSA has something to offer...
Certainly the substitute which the Council proposes is an unreal and valueless one. It is but another of the interminable and inconsequential inter-college bull sessions. The NSA is an action group. Moreover, the Council's ersatz NSA will have little or no remedial effect on the real article. The supposition that NSA relies on Harvard support for its prestige and will mend its admittedly mendable ways because of Harvard's withdrawal is a preposterous one. The same technique failed when Soviet Russia walked out of the U.N., and there is no indication that it increases in efficacy...
Success was a long time in coming. The Guild rejected Welcome to Our City, and Wolfe remained steadfast in his refusal to trim it to a practical length. For six years he lived as a vagabond, teaching sporadically at N.Y.U., and roaming over the face of inter-war Europe. At times he was exultant, but often hopeless and despondent. From Brussels he wrote: "At 23, hundreds of people thought I'd do something. Now, no one does--not even myself. I really don't care very much...." Finally in 1929 Look Homeward Angel was published, and Thomas Wolfe came into...
...instigators of the violence were probably motivated by fear, said Siegenthaler. "In most counties the Negro population is large, and white parents rebel against thoughts of their children in the same schoolroom with Negroes." They fear that integration in schools could lead to inter-racial marriages...
...constructed in an impressive modernistic style. The comfortable living quarters, which have been patterned on the English model, have much in common with the Harvard houses. Each of five "halls"--one for women, four for men--has its own dining room, sports facilities, social activities, and student government, and inter-hall competition is keen on many fronts. As at Lowell House, the hall dining rooms feature high tables--small but significant reminders of a larger debt owed by both Harvard and UCI to the British university tradition...
