Harvard Republican Club

"The Harvard Republican Club, the oldest and largest political organization at Harvard, would like to pass on a few words of advice. Without a doubt, Harvard is one of the best colleges in the nation. Its history and resources speak for themselves. But if one looks behind its ivy covered walls, one will see that the brick is crumbling. A fog of liberalism has descended upon Harvard, causing moral relativism to become the norm.

"Traditional values such as patriotism, family and religion have been replaced by Marxism, feminism and gay rights. It will take time and effort to rebuild Harvard's crumbling walls, but with your help, it can be done. As we work to bring values back on campus, we ask that you aid us in making this college something we can all be proud of."

--Sumner E. Anderson '92 is president of the Harvard Republican Club.

Harvard-Radcliffe Democrats

"The Harvard-Radcliffe Democrats represent the majority political opinion on campus. Our major objective is to revive student participation which has stagnated due to the indifference of the Reagan-Bush era. We want to get students involved in issues and action instead of just ideology. In Harvard's long history, the Democrats have provided a solid base of political thought and action to the University community and the world. Many former Harvard Democrats such as Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy have gone on to lead the country in the liberal tradition they were part of at Harvard."

--Jeff C. Stravino '92 is president of Harvard-Radcliffe Democrats.
