...York's City College, a Negro and no stranger to protest movements, is sympathetic to some of the rebels' views. "Our major educational institutions," he said last week, "have not delivered the services to humanity that could be reasonably expected of them." Yet Clark, like Harvard President Nathan Pusey, argued that the extreme forms of dissent now in vogue "have as their goal destruction of institutions." Said he: "All forms of tyranny are introduced under the guise of moral indignation and are justified by some higher moral ends...
Among the most comprehensive programs of black studies is the degree-granting department planned by Dr. Nathan Hare for San Francisco State College. It will open next fall, though Hare, an adversary of acting President S. I. Hayakawa, has been dropped from the faculty. (The students are demanding his reinstatement.)

One consists of 14 courses in behavioral and social sciences, such as "Black Politics" and "Black Nationalism and the International Community...

Next day, he received a vote of confidence from the board of overseers. Though they endorsed Pusey's actions and sustained the corporation's positions on ROTC and expansion, the overseers promised to re-examine the proper role of students...
Realistic Codes. The statement was drafted by a small group of university heads and foundation officials, including Nathan Pusey of Harvard and Father Theodore Hesburgh of Notre Dame. It conceded that there were legitimate causes for student alienation, but deplored the "cult of irrationality and incivility" that has developed, warned that students who violate the law "must be prepared to accept the due processes and the penalties...
