HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Princeton University definitely will not sponsor an eighteenth eating club, President Harold W. Dodds announced last night to a full meeting of Princeton's sophomore class.
Dodds' official withdrawal of the university's earlier suggestion for another club was apparently caused by widespread campus disapproval of the idea. A recent Daily Princetonian poll revealed that 61 per cent of the student body were opposed to the plan.
Dodds disclosed that he had turned down an offer of $150,000 which was to go toward building the new club on the north side of Prospect Street--Princeton's "club row." Earlier the university president had referred to the additional club as a "positive new element" in the college's social setup.
Princeton's current "club crisis" has been heightened by a petition signed by 605 sophomores, stating that they will refuse to join any club unless all men admitted to Princeton are "accepted into the social system for upperclass years."
