...previous spring: demands for many more black students, black faculty and administrators, and black courses. To imagine a college that is ten per cent black, rounded out by black heads of house, black administrators, and black professors teaching courses in black history--to imagine this is to view a school that is quite different from the Wellesley of today One student's remarks typified much of the student reaction to such a change, "I'm satisfied with what I've gotten out of Wellesley. I don't feel that black students have any legitimate grievances." Her remarks reflect...
...hardly feel repentant and shall not apologize for wanting to observe a debate on an issue of crucial interest to me. For some students, facing exile to Canada or prison sentences for draft resistance, it is difficult to view expulsion from Harvard as much of a tragedy. Indeed, one might even look forward to a period of exile from a University where Faculty and Administration members are determined to decide important matters primarily on the basis of petulant solemnity and irrational self-indulgence.

...such, is a tangible attempt to bridge an unjust gap. As to the practicability of eliminating the inequity completely by instituting an all-day bus system, I know not; but certainly the night bus is a step in the right direction.

The Committee on Houses should be persuaded to consider the $20 to $30 not as a "loss" but as the cost of a worthwhile service to the students of Harvard and Radcliffe...
...faster movement. Coercive pressure of the kind of represented by the sit-in is most likely to backfire, for there is quite a difference between ordinary pressure, and an actual threat.

But it is not a simple question, and even if it were, to impose the solution by the fait accompli of a sit-in decided by one group of students is not a method acceptable to nay self-respecting Faculty: A rule cannot be changed through...
...prospect of disciplinary retribution meted out in ignorance of a wide moral upsurge. What worries me most today is the state of mind of a group of students who, because some forms of tolerance are at times "re-pressive," make a fetish of intolerance, turn a debatable view of history into a dogma, and convince themselves that their identification with the oppressed and the damned of the earth makes of them an equally oppressed group, entitled there fore to the tactics of despair. We cannot allow them either to believe that they have a monopoly on moral fervor and political...
