Contents: Preface • Introduction • Rockefeller Interest Group at Cornell • Family Interest Groups at Cornell • Cornell's Foreign Policy Establishment • The Cornell Defense Nexus • Cornell and Apartheid • Cornell and Domestic Social Control • Cornell and the Ruling Class • The Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory: A Case Study of Military Research and Corporate Enterprise at Cornell • Cornell's Top Brass • The pamphlet Says Chase has offices or associates in 53 countries outside of the United States; following the Sharpeville Massacre of 1960 and the growth of the revolutionary movement in South Africa, many foreign investors began to leave the country, fearing a takeover by the blacks; in order to end this crisis and protect its highly profitable investments, Chase Manhattan organized 10 other major U.S. banks into a consortium to extend credit loans to the South African government; at the same time, Chase went out to seek more U.S. capital for investment; when other U.S. corporations saw this commitment of capital by the most important banks in the U.S., they concluded that their investments would now be safe; with the credit loans from the banking consortium and with the return of foreign investment, the South African government was able to put down, for the time being, the liberation movement. The pamphlet says in the Spring of 1968, Cornell SDS began a campaign to persuade Cornell University to sell its stock in banks which are part of the American banking consortium which had come to the aid of the apartheid regime of South Africa in the early 1960's; due to world-wide outrage over the Sharpeville Massacre (March 21, 1960), there was at this time an investment crisis in South Africa; the consortium of American banks kept the racist government alive and continued to supply funds during this time. The pamphlet says despite considerable faculty and student support for the SDS initiated campaign, the Cornell Board of Trustees voted not to sell their stock; there was only one vote in favor of selling.
