I'd like to know, can Harvard--or any university--come to terms with a group that preaches that sort of doctrine?

PUSEY: Well--not all SDS people at Harvard would subscribe to that.

I think one of the things the public may not have observed is that each time the question about occupying University Hall was proposed to the SDS group, it was voted down.

Still they went right ahead.

So it's a group within SDS that are the ones that have espoused violence and force.

The large number of them. I don't really think, have gone that far.

They are disenchanted with American society.

They are also convinced that universities are somehow creatures of a corrupt society and minister to it.

But I would think that there are lots of people in the SDS group at Harvard who have a genuine affection for the institution and some understanding of the institution that would make them proof against just accepting that as gospel without analysis.

LAZARD: Mr. Pusey, how would you propose dealing though with those students who are chronic disrupters of university life?

PUSEY: This is our major problem right now.

I wish I knew the answer and could give it to all the institutions in the country.

I tried to say a moment ago, it seems to me that we can only cope with it when the students and faculty come to see themselves that this cannot be tolerated within a university community.

LAZARD: Dr. Pusey, you said a moment ago that the student body felt the university administrators were possibly worshipping false gods. What can administrators at Harvard and other universities do to better align themselves with the values of the young?

PUSEY: I wish I knew a quick answer to that.
