Footnotes. Illustrations. Appendix. Index. The DJ is in a plastic sleeve and has some wear and soiling. The surprise take over of a university building by the SDS brought to light the conflicts and differences between students, between students and faculty and the administration and the demands of the black students. On April 9, 1969, a band of students led by the SDS seized University Hall. The authors probe the inflamed and contradictory reports. They identify forces set in motion many months before the event, and follow the gradual hardening of attitudes on issues that divided students, faculty, and administration. The account of the seventeen-hour period during which students occupied University Hall produces striking vignettes--the orderly procedures of the insurgents for providing food and supplies, and the president of the university watching the police action through field glasses. The story follows the forging of new policies by each faction under the pressures of passionate concern, tight deadlines, and the glare of publicity. As part of the wider anti-war movement of the 1960s, student organizations such as the Harvard chapter of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) ran anti-war activities on campus. The Harvard Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs drew particular attention. Although the faculty was willing to reduce the programs' privileges, the Harvard Corporation refused to terminate it. These developments, alongside the creation of a degree program in Afro-American studies, led to the events of April 1969. On the night of April 8 to 9, a group of about 300 students, led by the SDS, tacked a list of demands on the door of the home of Nathan Pusey, then President of Harvard. Not only did it call for the abolition of ROTC, but also for lower rent and student involvement in designing the curriculum for the Afro-American studies degree. The demands were later rejected by Pusey as baseless. At noon on April 9, a group of 30 to 70 students entered University Hall, ejecting administrative staff and faculty. While most left the building peacefully, some faculty like assistant dean Archie Epps were forcefully expelled. At 4:15 p.m. Harvard Yard was closed off by the administration, citing safety concerns. The occupiers were threatened with criminal prosecution and disciplinary action if they did not leave by 4:30. The Boston Globe estimated the number of students inside University Hall to now be about 500, with at least 3000 onlookers in the Yard. At 5 p.m., a meeting between moderate students and Dean Fred Glimp was convened at Lowell Lecture Hall, both agreeing on a peaceful resolution of the conflict. In the aftermath of the occupation, a series of reforms began. The ROTC lost the privileges not held by other extracurricular activities by a vote of the faculty later endorsed by the Harvard Corporation. Student representatives got a role in the appointment of faculty for Afro-American studies. A special "Committee of Fifteen" was formed to deal with the participants of the occupation. Unusual for a faculty board, it was not appointed, but elected by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, consisting of ten of its members and augmented by five students, three from the College and one each of Radcliffe College and the Graduate School.
