It is contended that the militants made a charade of the academic freedoms they seek to preserve: that pulling the rug from under ROTC would scandalize academic freedom, depriving those who want it to get it.

But criticism is building with sting in the stratosphere occupied by the prestigious Board of Overseers and the Harvard Corporation. This criticism is mostly among Faculty and students.

The Corporation leaves decisions on curricula, appointments, tenure and research to the Faculty but it retains control of the University's $1,100,000,000 endowment complex and appointment of presidents. Elected by international ballot, the Board of Overseers is being criticized for abdicating much of its authority to the Corporation.

Yesterday for the first time in centuries a meeting of the Faculty was made public and from this meeting grew increasing signs that the University may be headed for complete restructuring with encrusted mores falling like tenpins.

surfacing off-campus are gut-wrenching questions and fresh declarations blooming in the clear light of hindsight.

"When is all this going to end" is one question coming from all over and from all levels.... --JOE PURCELL, Record American
