...lift the moral burdens which rest upon every American." Ahead, at the monument, were other heroes, including Rock and Folk Performers Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie and some performers from Hair. There, it appeared that Police Chief Jerry Wilson's crowd estimate of 250,000 might be low. A solid, bundled carpet of humanity covered the cold, hard ground. Even at Wilson's figure, it was the biggest turnout of its kind that Washington had ever seen, exceeding even the 1963 civil rights rally, which took place on a pleasant August...

I feel sure that you will perceive in a high proportion of those very decisions solid evidence that the Faculty's views have been both recorded and valued. Whatever changes may come, in the endless remodeling of Harvard, there is no basis for assuming that the relationship in this area is one between adversaries; and there is nothing to be gained by trying to manufacture such an assumption...
