“The 1970-71 academic year ended in an outburst of student activism that overshadowed all that had gone before and left little prospect for timely consideration of the many valid accomplishments of the faculty and students of the American University of Beirut. Although public Commencement exercises were cancelled, AUB graduated 899 students, the largest class in its history.”
