LIVE UPDATES: Pro-Palestine Protesters Begin Encampment in Harvard Yard
Considerable excitement was caused yesterday morning a few minutes before twelve, by a small fire in the upper entry of University Hall. The fire occurred in the large wooden box outside the door among a large heap of waste paper, and for a few minutes made a dense smoke, with considerable flame.
