In its course a thoughtful and responsible majority evolved able leadership, avoided hazardous extremes, and achieved a constructive consensus uniting and energizing the widely divergent communities of students, faculty, administration, and Trustees that represent a university. We wish our alumni, the parents of our students, and other friends of Pennsylvania to be informed of the following facts about the events of these five days. A detailed account will appear later in the "Pennsylvania Gazette. " 1. The underlying aim of the demonstration was to persuade the University to exercise a more active and outreaching responsibility for the housing and well-being of its neighbors, particularly those of little means who might be displaced by the growth of the University and other nearby institutions such as The University City Science - Centex.-.- (-UCSC is a research and development complex in which the University is a major participant among 21 member institutions. ) Concern for the welfare of the University's neighbors coincided with the personal convictions of many of the administrative officers, the faculty, and the Trustees; consequently the Executive Board was able, in good conscience, to propose a mutually satisfactory course of action. The demonstration was legal and civilized. The University's guidelines defining the limits of acceptable behavior were scrupulously respected.

The Executive Board further offered to seek a fund of $10, 000, 000 from moneys allocated expressly for community renewal programs by such sources as Government, banks, and insurance companies; and it committed $75, 000 of University funds for the staffing and operation of the quadripartite commission. The Significance of these actions, we believe, is captured in this excerpt from the Executive Board's statement: "The Trustees declare a policy of accountability and responsibility that accepts the concerns and aspirations of the surrounding communi ties as (the University's) own concerns and aspirations ...

This is not a regular Chaplin seminar; it is neither the last one of the first semester nor the first one of the second semester. Circumstances have left many of us stranded here, and this is the reason why we are having this seminar; I should add, with the blessi~g of the administration. So many things have happened since we had our last meeting here on January 7. I'1y reaction to the impertinent, inexcusable and unforgettable events at the beginning of this year was: "This is the end of everything, also of these seminars." As time went by, and my anger ever so slowly subsided, I felt and stated that I did not want to be a rat leaving the sinking academic ship. Then the ultimate tragedy occurred, which has affected everyone of us immeasurably. Now we are recovering from shock and find a great emptiness. We have lost something precious that we had taken for granted. But we must go on and I must control my anger; for the moment, I am glad that we are meeting here tonight. As to the film tonight, the long-requested THE GREAT DICTATOR seemed inappropriate; I will show THE GOLD RUSH, a non-controversial, wintery film it seemed to be the logical choice. Several of you have heard me speak before and you know where I stand. I had the good fortune of having been Made in Holland; I had the benefit of an excellent academic education on all levels, plus a peripheral exposure to liberal Calvinism. All of this may explain my touch of intolerance, or rather my stubbornness, but also something else: trying to keep my two feet on the ground, abhorring hypocricy and using my own judgment, without ever insisting or believing that I am necessarily right. One or two of you, and also some older people, have called me a conservative. This seems sad and slightly ridiculous in view of my liberal, democratic and socialistic upbringing. Believe it or not, I feel young and rebellious, but also weigh reason against effect. I think back with disbelief and horror to the avalanche of paper and l'parliamentary procedures II of the first hysterical half of January. I should like to reaffirm my strong and firm belief: any student, or group of students, or any faculty member, or others who issue demands, or carry out, support, or condone any action which interferes with the functioning of the College do not belong here. They were admitted to, or joined, Swarthmore but obviously have been misled, or brainwashed, or do not understand the spirit and meaning of Swarthmore. There also is such a thing as loyalty. B.Y all means, argue, discuss and raise a little hell, but do not forget what is basic, namely: that this is a community of teachers, scholars and students, dedicated to higher education. I am terribly aware of the fact that Courtney Smith was my junior by fifteen years. That such a thing should happen to this young man! Courtney Smith was a very good president; he was a beautiful human being. I have been in Swarthmore for 32 years, a total of eight college generations. The past 16 of them were under the leadership of Courtney Smith, and they have been the most productive and joyous years of my life. There are other reasons for this, but professional and personal happiness are related. In my frequent meetings with Courtney Smith, to present and explain the needs of my department, I found him - firm, patient and understanding. He always brought out the best in me; there was no question of playing games, or withholding relevant information, or anything like that. He was a very high-level man, who, by being so, lifted others up .

Let us face the world and our problems in a spirit which is independent and fearless. We must think for ourselves and be responsible for our attitudes and actions. It is good and exhilarating to commit oneself to one's convictions, one of which is the dead serious obligation to fUlfill our academic commitments on the highest possible level. I hope for the best for all of_.u s and that we shall be able to continue and to enjoy our Chaplin seminars.
