“

May, 1970: Nixon orders the move into Cambodia; four students are killed at Kent State; the Black Panthers go on trial in New Haven; the Ivy League mobilizes. STRIKE! What many people see as the main point which distinguished W. and L. ' s movement from that of other campuses was its lack of violence. The most meaningful point, though, is not that there was a lack of violence so much as that the events which took place in Lexington were governed by REASON. The liberal radicals yelled; the conserva- tive radicals yelled; but the great majority of students — those who were somewhere between the two extremes — decided the course of action in the end. It is possible that the faculty showed a discourtesy (some would put it more vehemently) toward the student body by not accepting a resolu- tion which 80% of the students had approved. But it could have been worse. A realistic view to take is that most everyone ended up with about half of what he was after. The politics of compromise and con- sensus prevailed over the politics of confrontation, although it did come rather close at times. Some wounds were inflicted which have yet to heal; others have healed, but scars remain. The rest are completely healed. One thing is certain: Washington and Lee will never be the same. Anyone who believed W. and L. was still in the era of the ' 30 ' s or ' 40 ' s had his conceptions shattered last May. The University was reborn. Unlike the awakenings at many other campuses, W. and L. ' s was reached through reason, not anger and hate.
