...might be argued that both acts, in 1865 and 1967, refer only to officers of Harvard College, and that faculty or administration from other divisions of the University would not be subject to any restrictions. This line of attack will probably not be successful because most references to Harvard by the state name "Harvard College." And the real name of the Corporation is still "President and Fellows of Harvard College...
Small-Town Morality. In sophisticated Athens, such sermonizing is glumly greeted. Few politicians from other parties have joined the colonels since their coup. Most refer to them as steno-kephalos, or narrow heads. Athens wits insist that Nikolaos Makarezos was selected to oversee the economy as Minister of Coordination because he was the colonel who knew how to add and subtract.

This course would occasion loud squeals; but there are two things to be said for it. First, the SFAC resolution was badly drafted--and I know that...
There is presently circulating a proposal to refer this question to a binding referendum of the entire University community. The difficulty with this proposal is that ROTC is not a question, to be resolved by majority vote. It is a moral question, and for this reason a majority vote. It is a moral question, and for this reason a majority vote cannot be considered binding on those who hold a moral position which happens to be in the minority. This principle is commonly accepted in democratic societies: school segregation, state religion and genocide are examples of policies which could easily...
