HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
In all communities there are individuals who seize every opportunity to attract attention to themselves by loud noises. Such men are always in numbers a very minor element, and come to be regarded as unworthy of the attention which they so strenuously seek. At first they may gain a little superficial notoriety, but this is soon lost in any true estimate of their worth.
It is to this class that the promoters of rowdyism at Memorial belong. The demonstrations are offensive to the vast majority of those present, for most men like to have their meals in quiet. If in the Communication printed in another column, the responsibility is justly attributed to the Freshmen, the sooner they learn that blatant noise is not admired at Harvard, the better it will be for them and for the University. If it is upperclassmen who misbehave, all that can be said is that they are old enough to know that such disturbances are useless, destructive, undignified and offensive.
