HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
There is considerable trouble between the faculty and students of the East Tennessee Wesleyan University, at Athens, Tenn. Nine students organized a minstrel company and circulated posters announcing a performance to be given last night in Masonic Hall, in that city. The faculty of the college forbade the performance, notifying all students connected with it that they would be expelled if their intentions were carried out-that they could take their choice, and be either men or monkeys. The students decided to give the performance notwithstanding these threats, and the program was carried out. A meeting of the faculty is called to decide what action will be taken in the matter. Considerable interest attaches to the affair, as it is thought the faculty will not back down from their threat, but that the students will be expelled.
