Excerpt from Brown Alumni Monthly, Vol. 70: January, 1970

The statement added that a preliminary survey of the situation leads the pfc to the conclusion that its goals for a maxi mum effort were within reach.

There seemed to be no indication that the faculty's adoption of numbers as goals for a maximum effort undermined the Uni versity administration's policy statement, which steadfastly avoided them. And yet the question of the numbers game again be came an increasingly important item in the solution of a problem for both sides. In the flap over admissions in December, 1968, and again in the one over minority hiring practices, black students took the position that numbers or percentage targets and goals were the only true way of evaluating the University's maximum efforts.

The University's position now, in the past and, predictably, in the future, is that numbers are not useful. And, it could be demonstrated, the numbers game can be a polarizing element, as was shown clearly this December and last when the essential elements of what the blacks were asking were not really in dispute.
