HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
At a reception held for Freshmen at the Phillips Brooks House last night, it was announced that, for the first time in many years at Harvard, the University Chapel would be used for special sectarian services. The announcement stated that in the future, the Holy Communion will be held at 9 o'clock every Sunday in Appleton Chapel.
Years ago when the Chapel Committee first established voluntary attendance at Appleton Chapel, an offer was made to hold the building open on Sunday mornings for the use of any sect wishing to hold special services. The St. Paul's Society is the first to sponsor a movement to take advantage of this offer.
A fairly large number of University undergraduates should be affected by this movement as over 700, exclusive of Freshmen, claimed at registration to be associated with the Episcopal Church. It is the express wish of the St. Paul's Society, however, that the Communion Service be open to anyone desiring to attend, including those of other sects.
There were, in addition to the above announcement made by M. A. Cheek '26, speeches by W. I. Nichols '26, A. G. Cooke '26, and W. D. Edmonds Jr. '26, presidents of the CRIMSON, Lampoon and Advocate respectively. The Peabody Hall Auditorium was crowded to the doors with the 431 Freshmen in attendance.
