Last year N.A.A.C.P. membership increased by 23,239 and its total income by $745,233.77. Included in the association's 1968 membership are 67,586 youth-the largest number of young people in the civil rights movement. Our membership figures, our incoming mail and the demand for his public appearance indicate no "loss of ground" by our executive director. On the contrary, there has been ample evidence of his increase in stature...
Professors are probably not meant to provide absolutes. Unfortunately, they no longer provide even models, unless they happen to be political activists. The civil rights movement, the Kennedys, McCarthy?each of these sufficed for a time, until submerged by death or defeat. But Viet Nam continued, Chicago receded. Nixon won.

Because the decision to bring police on campus was only an extension of the Corporation's fundamental policies, a movement mainly directed at forcing President Pusey's resignation would be a mistake. The nature of the President's office, the manner by which the men who occupy it are selected, and their invariably intimate relationship with the Corporation, were all forces which pressed Pusey toward his decision, while insulating him from moderating influences. Only a comprehensive reform of the Administration will guarantee that Pusey's successor will be more responsive to the feelings of his constituents...
