HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
John Harvard '42 comes from Jenkintown, Pa, went to public high school, got on Group IV with four hours of work per day, listens chiefly to classical music, loves pin-ball and betting (in which he invariably loses), and chooses Wellesley as top women's college. These are the salient facts in the life of the average Senior, according to the Harvard Poll appearing in the latest Senior Album.
The Poll announces the astounding fact that the intellectual center of the United States has moved from Boston to a point near Cleveland. This is indicated by the geographical breakdown of the Dean's List, which shows that three-fourths of the students west of the Alleghenies had a B average. And these areas showed large percentages from supposedly inferior public high schools.
Other incidental facts: "Dean's List men, it appears, like classical music far less than the class as a whole, and lead all other groups in attendance at the Old Howard and in steady drinking."
Asked to jot down a few characteristics the term "meatball" brings to find, some of the Seniors replied: "A red-headed fatso in a green double-breasted suit leading a couga line at Eliot House...guy who walks around Symphony Hall at intermission with a simpish grin...the people who made up this questionnaire."
"Do you prefer to date college girls? working girls debutantes?" brought these answers among others: "When they go out with me, they're all working girls...How do you classify Yale undergraduates?"
