{"value"=>"<p>The Harvard series forms the bulk of the collection. Divided into 12 subseries, it retains most of Guinier's original arrangement and purpose, though archival processing, mainly the weeding out of duplication, may have somewhat reduced the essentially polemical scheme of the original filing system. Guinier fought a war of documents against Harvard. Using the April 22, 1969 Faculty Senate resolution as his foundation, he cataloged every infraction against this original mandate and challenged the university relentlessly in order to secure full departmental status for the black studies program and the development of the proposed DuBois Institute. Copies of articles, reports, correspondence and documents interspersed throughout the series reveal a veritable war of attrition, with the same battles fought year after year during his entire tenure as chairman.</p>"}
