...prosecutor" for the administration during the hearings, however, had read the four names in the newspapers and decided their cases should not have been dropped. In what amounted to an overruling of the Freund Committee and a denial of the due process so carefully constructed for discipline proceedings, President Pusey and the Corporation asked the heads of departments in which the four teaching fellows taught to "review" their position within the University. In making its request the Corporation had, in effect, exerted the full range of its powers to discipline the alleged offenders...

We just seem to sit back and marvel at such precosity, while remembering how painfully...
...late at night we meet over beer or dope to argue about each other, and, once our ideas have reached a state of partial articulation, we confront and demand and we curse. O-K, so maybe we're sometimes wrong, but at least it's an open, honest violence. Pusey's Harvard-in the balanced sentences of its introductory pamphlets as well as the hidden workings of its corporate machination-practices a more insidious violence, one camouflaged by manners and traditions.
