HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
In a sharp expression of disagreement with the proposal of Sumner H. Slichter, Lamont University Professor, to raise tuition rates, Charles G. Sellers '45, Student Affairs Committee chairman of the University AVC chapter, maintained last night that "were this plan adopted, higher education would continue to be the privilege only of the fortunate few."

Rising demand for higher education seems to point in the direction of a program of federal aid such as that proposed by President Conant, he declared.
"The present crisis in education is not only one of professional standards, but also one of the relation of the college to a democratic Community," the representative of the veterans' organization emphasized. He called upon both students and professors to work for a program encompassing both of these aims.
