HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
The place left empty by Mr. Laski's resignation cannot easily be filled. A profound student of economics, an able teacher, and an intellectual genius, he has at the same time shown himself to be an inspiring tutor and a warm friend to those with whom his life at Harvard brought him in contact. Slandered, misquoted, and often misunderstood by those who knew him least, his keen wit and his strong personality have won for him scores of staunch friends, who, while they could not always agree with his political principles, nevertheless found his influence stimulating and in spiring.
It is truly lamentable that Harvard should have lost so promising a teacher. There are those who had hoped that with the accomplishment of the Endowment Fund, it would become possible for the University to retain its most eminent instructors, and to maintain a staff of professors second to none in America. To such, the departure of Mr. Laski will prove a double blow.
