Sociological v. Practical. At each stop, we were met by guides from local black organizations and escorted through schools, economic projects and job training centers, as well as into homes and bars at night for "rap" sessions that lasted well into the morning. In Chicago, we listened to Jesse Jackson, heir-apparent to leadership in Martin Luther King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference. In Cleveland's Hough ghetto, the group stayed with families in ghetto apartments. In San Francisco, a motel manager emptied enough rooms of prostitutes to crowd the group in-and got himself beaten...

None of these activities in support of Harvard have anything to do with my decanal duties...
Dean Glimp was quoted in Rap-Up 2 as saying that the head of ROTC might have a position similar to that of the Director of Athletics. Bruner said that the Department of Athletics was not an example of the type of ordinary extracurricular activity that the Faculty was referring to in its resolution...
