Most of all, I feel that the masses of black people who are obviously not anti-Semitic were done a great disservice by your failure to refer to the strong and positive statements made by the leadership of such organizations as the Urban League and the N.A.A.C.P.

The only present check on the content of Harvard courses--review by the relevant Faculty or department--is rarely used, and though a few bad courses may result, there are not so many as to justify changing Harvard's general policy of letting individual Faculty members teach what they want...
