...Unfortunately, Harvard insists upon punishing 18- and 19-year-old cadets and midshipmen for a law signed into place before they were in kindergarten. But, while Harvard claims the moral high ground by keeping ROTC off campus, it has no ethical objections to associating itself with the federal government, which put the policy in place. In 2005, Harvard accepted federal funding equal to about 15 percent of the university’s operating budget...
...Driving students away through making the university an unwelcome place toward ROTC cadets and midshipmen is truly despicable and does nothing to end Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, the university’s stated aim. When asked if ROTC should be invited back onto campuses it’s been excluded from in the past, President Obama answered, “Yes. I think we’ve made a mistake on that.” Harvard should take a cue from one of its most beloved graduates and change its ROTC policy...
...competition, the Crimson came out with a bang in the 200-yard freestyle relay, capturing a solid second place in the event. The team of sophomore Eric Taylor, freshman Graham Frankel, and McKellar and junior Tyler Holland touched the wall in 1:22.39, just behind the first-place Midshipmen.

Once again the Crimson closely followed Navy, who swam an impressive 3:00.71 for first place in the event. McKellar and Frankel were part...
...views on the relationship between the various ROTC programs and the Harvard administration. I strongly agree with the American Council of Trustees and Alumni that the Harvard Corporation should take up this important issue and formerly recognize the ROTC programs which provide valuable leadership training to Harvard cadets and midshipmen. Such formal recognition should lead to greater participation of Harvard students in ROTC programs and the eventual physical return of the ROTC units to the Harvard campus...
...political reasons. I do not advocate for the recognition of ROTC nor related overhead reimbursement from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences but from the Harvard Corporation. It is possibly illegal and certainly not fair nor logical for the Harvard Corporation to in effect punish Harvard cadets and midshipmen by withholding formal recognition of ROTC programs due to political policies imposed by Congress. Such political issues are entirely beyond the control of the Defense Department, the ROTC units and Harvard students. It is not appropriate to embroil U.S. military organization with politics...
