Welll...that might be overstating the case a tad. And as Kitty
alluded, the early 60s were a peaceful time (so far as I remember),
so 'any port in a storm' became the order of the day. And they
were prety good Riots for their day....

You went to Harvard? Guess the "no Latin" applied just to the
undergrads. My spouse's Med School diploma was in Latin in 1973. Or did
the riots achieve their purpose?

Yup. And the Riots failed in their purpose :-(. Likely the evil
decree applied to the College only and not to the various
professional schools.

That brings to mind my experience with Latin diplomas. After having
given out diplomas in Latin for 300+ years, my school chose 1962 (my
year) to switch to English. That led to the famed 'Diploma Riots';
we had latin orations condeming the changs on the steps of Widener
Library, and I got my first and only taste of tear gas...
