Although such steps can and ought to be taken immediately, there is no long-range solution to the academic frustrations of black students short of the addition to the Harvard Faculty of persons qualified to teach in areas of interest to black students, and of the development of a pattern of instruction in these areas. On the other hand, however essential the enrichment of Harvard's course offerings, the augmentation of its Faculty, and the creation of a formal structure for the teaching and study of Afro-American studies, there are steps that can and ought to be taken...
More important than any point thus far made is the role of Harvard University in setting a pattern of ROTC policy for the entire academic community.

The central core would combine industry, residential areas, and cultural facilities. Beyond the green belt would lie untouched countryside...
...pattern of society already foreshadows this future role of Government. The U.S. now functions through a network of organizations in which Government, industry, labor and the universities are intertwined and obviously will become more so. In the Apollo program, NASA defined the mission, planned the flights and recruited astronauts; M.I.T. contributed to the design of the navigation system, North American Rockwell Corporation built the vehicle, and Pan American services the Cape Kennedy base. George Champion, chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank, believes that if private business addressed itself to satisfying the education and housing needs of the poor it could...
