...problems to society which originate in the students' rebelling are so manifold and have such far reaching implications that in a short presentation only a very small selection of them can be alluded to. I shall, therefore, concentratet (1) on the parallels to the German situation before Hitler; (2) on a few of the factors which contribute to the widespread unrest among relatively large numbers of students, black and white; (3) on the small group of leaders who, by making skillful use of the general unrest succeed in doing damage way beyond the importance of this group because of their...
...current disturbances and ills which plague college and university campuses can be helped by new legislation at the local, state or federal levels. I have believed strongly--and nothing that has happened at Harvard in recent weeks has caused me to change my opinion--that a correction for our manifold present difficulties can only come from within the academic communities themselves. Let me hasten to agree, however, with what I take to be the view of many concerned people outside the universities, that a correction is clearly overdue...
THERE ARE REAL troubles in society and in the human heart which foster disturbances on campuses, and we have a gigantic task to face up to them, if we are to move toward the eradication or amelioration of the manifold blemishes of our society in such a way as to recall the distressed and angry, young and old, to work patiently and seriously together, charitably, and reasonably and on a basis of knowledge, in a fresh effort to build a satisfying society that will stir and elicit loyalty...
Problem Mountain. The problems of plenty are manifold in the Common Market countries. A policy combining protection and unrealistic price supports without production quotas has yielded a surfeit of foodstuffs. Excess sugar stocks have swollen to 1,000,000 tons and are expected to grow by more than 300,000 tons annually. In Italy, landowners have been forced to destroy crops of fruit and vegetables, and officials at the Ministry of Agriculture are fretting over what to do with 150,000 tons of ripening surplus oranges, more than 10% of the annual harvest...
...idea of an internal system of University justice assumes that students will not be subjected to the manifold risks of the outside system. There are, perhaps, arguments for and against the whole idea of insulating Harvard from outside justice. But no good argument can be made for subjecting a student to the threat of criminal prosecution, forcing him to fight it as best he can, and then, should he escape, confronting him with Harvard's own punitive action. The principle of double jeopardy may not legally apply here, but the common sense behind that principle remains compelling. When President Pusey...
