...front page of The Weeks in Review section of April 27, the following statements appeared: "Campus Turmoil--Faculty Falters in Leadership Role: The student revolt took two significant turns at major universities last week. At Cornell, guns were used for the first time in the seizure of a building. At Harvard, the faculty gave Negro students a voice in selection of black studies professor ... the faculty, under pressure from black students broke with one of the basic traditional principles. It voted to give students a major voice--six undergraduates to seven professors--in the selection of teachers...
...interested to read excerpts from a private memorandum which I wrote last summer to professor Amitai Etzioni of Columbia University in response to a memorandum from him, in which he invited various people to comment on his proposal stimulated by a small foundation in Washington to establish a major university in Washington, D.C. Etzioni asked for advice on behalf of the foundation as to the best procedures for establishing a major center of scholarship in the nation's capital. Hence, it should be noted that my memo was a response to a proposal of others to set up such...

Competitive hostility to it from other other institution would also be reduced by such a policy and by limiting its student body to those taking degrees from other...

One faculty recipient of these funds has been a major New Left critic of American foreign policy in the Far East. Most of the graduate students supported by the grant who have studied students have been grant advocates of student activism. At least one recipient was a major leader of student protest in this country. It is curious that the CRIMSON and other critics of the role of government funds never mention left-wing supporters...
While Dartmouth was scoring this major upset, Cornell and Yale were also turning in surprise victories to completely clutter the Ivy race. The Big Red edged Brown, 8-7 and Princeton was upset for the second week in a row, 6-4 by Yale. If the Crimson had beaten Dartmouth, it probably would have ended up in a three-way tie with Brown and Princeton for the title. But Harvard is now eliminated because of its three losses...
