On the SASC

To the Editors of The Crimson:

Against the SASC I maintain that Harvard must "place the academic goals of the University above all other considerations." Harvard does not select students on the basis of their ability to manage a $1.4 billion endowment. Harvard chooses students who values the academic goals of morality, truth, and beauty. By teaching students how such goals are more important than profit and power, Harvard guarantees that its students will never repeat the criminal greed of U.S. corporations now in South Africa. Partisan agitation on the part of undergraduates is secondary to the achievement of a deeper understanding of ethics, science, and esthetics. And it is probably premature. --Susan Esser '79   The Student Polemical Society
