HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Radcliffe's Buildings and Grounds Department has removed all cigarette machines from the dormitories because of thefts during Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations.
Thieves broke into several of the buildings while students were away and stole cigarettes and money by smashing the fronts of the vending machines.
