...assignments were perhaps most unfair to Princeton, which now faces the most difficult task of any crew of its caliber. The Tigers, who had the unfortunate fate of racing four of the top six seeds in their first four races, were buried in ninth position.

I do not think that the University should offer these students amnesty since I am in full agreement with the view recently put to the C.H.U.L. by one of the Masters that such an offer robs the occupation of its dignity and courage, is unfair to other radical students who have been dismissed for less severe action and, in view of the refusal of the University to concede anything on the demand or divestment, would amount to cheap and demeaning trade off of special treatment for corporate intransigence...
