Harvard Professor Urges Guided Campus Unrest
Harvard health services director Dr Dana L Farnsworth told the NEA convention that campus unrest can be constructive if guided by faculties. He urged fair treatment of students and listening to complaints while channeling impatience into positive action. President E K Fretwell called for greater student leadership in running colleges and fostering teaching and learning. Farnsworth noted youth face scarce hope under poverty and drought, and many seek earnings or professional school access as motives. The NEA convention also announced a $1 million fund to help Negro teachers displaced by school desegregation.
