...greater challenge to the inhabitants of the island than any that their extraordinary talents have yet accomplished. But let's begin with a couple of practical suggestions to help both sides. Introduce real local government in the North, as the Unionists want, but incorporate Nationalist representation in chairmanships and local councils. In return, construct a viable and comprehensive structure of cooperation between the security forces of the Republic and Britain, to defeat terrorism within the present constitutional framework.

Fully aware of the evils of apartheid, the University has undertaken a number of steps regarding its investments: voting on shareholder resolutions for corporate withdrawal, urging firms to abide by the Sullivan Principles (progressive rules of conduct for American firms operating in South Africa), and engaging "in intensive dialogue with corporations to persuade them to improve the quality of life outside the workplace."

And yet, despite our revulsion toward apatheid, the fact remains that Harvard's resources were entrusted to us for academic purposes and not as a means of demonstrating our opposition to apartheid or to other manifest injustices and evils around the world. This is one reason why we have...
