...things, loving and hating, we learned for ourselves. That was before they knew us, of course, before being required acting, and then they noticed, and they demanded explanations, and, being well-educated, we realized there must be explanations for what we were doing, and we gave them, and we lost ourselves...
...answer their questions. And soon, our world was gone. Some of us became Marxists, and some of us became capitalists; we talked about our past, as I am talking now, as though it were the present. We gave ourselves up, and we are left with a feeling of being lost. Perhaps every class feels that way, perhaps every person feels that way when he is 22. That does not make it any less important to us; it is the first time we have felt that way, and it is impossible for us to experience the way all those other people...
...changed that team from a loser to a winner. It didn't look it as the Cross came out in the third quarter to run the score up to 20-12, but those who know Harvard football could sense the comeback. We found some new heroes to replace those lost to graduation and injury. Most important the new faces had the poise and the confidence to come back, and keep coming back all year.

By a 207-125 vote, the Faculty approved a five-point resolution from the SFAC which would take away appointments and credit, remove ROTC courses from the Faculty catalogue, end ROTC's rent-free use of Shannon Hall, and replace lost ROTC scholarships with Harvard money.

The other ROTC resolution presented--an SDS-supported plan to expel ROTC from Harvard--lost on a voice vote...
...football team felt the effects too. Before the war Harvard had the reputation of being a lousy football school, and students went to the games to drink and party, not to see a victory. In 1942 the Crimson lost to Yale 7-3 and it would be two more years before a Harvard team would take the field again. When it did, in October 1945, it was a different story. That year we amassed a 5-3 season, only the second winning record since 1937. The next year, led by flashy halfbacks Chip Gannon and Cleo O'Donnell, Harvard rolled...
