...THEREFORE glaringly inconsistent with the principle of academic freedom to require individual teachers to request the permission of the whole Faculty in order not to give grades in their own courses. So long as individual Faculty members are themselves convinced that the grading system carries particular socio-economic implications, each member of the Faculty should have the right to decide whether he wishes to use grades in his own course. The Faculty as a body has no more right to insist that a professor grade his students' work than it has to demand that he include a particular book...
...other hand, it is easy to see how such a requirement can seriously hurt a course. In the particular case of Soc Sci 125, a large part of the course is devoted to the economic functions of the American educational system--and in particular to such features of that system as grading. To require that work done on this topic be graded would obviously undermine the intellectual honesty of the course.

...GOOD DEAL of confusion surrounds the precise issues behind today's research stoppage and panel discussions at M.I.T. some scientists, especially here at Harvard, have balked at the words "protest" and "strike." They prefer to look at today as a sort of religious holiday, a time for men whose particular brand of mythology happens to be science to pause and calmly review the overall relationship of science and society. The particular proposals raised by some M.I.T. scientists have also failed to excite Harvard's scientific community since most of them concern classified research on campus--an issue relevant to M.I.T...
...particularly don't want to be formally affiliated with any particular institution while I'm in London," Gill said, but added that he would probably spend some time at the London School of Economics...
