Those who hold up the seizure of University Hall as a paradigmatic model for campus movements cannot fail to be disappointed by the low-intensity, low-visibility activism that characterizes the University today. With a few notable exceptions, such as last year's sit-in at the office of Law School Dean James Vorenberg '49, campus activism at Harvard usually takes the form of unglamorous, nuts-and-bolts work, be it in the union office or homeless shelter.

The movement promotes no rigid political platform, except a general commitment to democracy and pluralism, and welcomes everyone into its ranks. Its central steering committee is an umbrella organization for dozens of local chapters that open their doors to any citizens' groups with a worthy cause. In Tartu the Popular Front joined with...
