HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Under the will of Charles H. Ditson, formerly president of the Oliver Ditson Company, Harvard is to be the recipient of a $100,000 request to be used for musical education. Similar amounts for the same purpose were left to Yale, Columbia, and Princeton as well as to the New England Conservatory of Music, the Chicago Musical College, the College of Music in Cincinnati, and the Ann Arbor School of Music.
