Former members of the Students for a Democratic Society — an organization responsible for a wide breadth of protests at Cornell in the 1960s — along with former faculty members returned to the Hill to speak at a teach-in Monday night.

The speakers, most of whom were students at Cornell during a time of growing resistance to the Vietnam War, recalled during the teach-in — a part of a two-day commemoration of activism in the ’60s — the complex political atmosphere on campus that they said was difficult to escape.
