HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
E. E. Whiting, author of "Whiting's Column" in the Boston Herald, and F. P. Collier, creator of "Otto Grow", will speak in the Living Room of the Union this evening at 7.30 o'clock.
Mr. Whiting, who was a member of the class of '97 at the University, will speak on "Leaders in Politics." He entered newspaper work almost immediately after his departure from college as a member of the staff of a Springfield weekly paper. In 1903 he became connected with the "Boston Daily Advertiser" and the "Evening Record." With the latter he remained until 1921, acting as its editor during the latter part of that time. Since 1921 he has been with the "Herald", writing a daily column of political and editorial comment which has attracted much attention.
Whiting Has National Reputation
He is a nationally recognized student of political events, and has taken an active part in city and state politics as former Mayor Peters' secretary. He has closely followed President Coolidge's career since the latter became a figure of prominence in Massachusetts public life, and has written two books about him.
Mr. Collier's talk will be on "Getting Out a Daily Cartoon." He has been making cartoons for the "Herald" for many years and has gained much attention through the famous "Otto Grow" and his numerous family, who figure largely in his work. His talk will be illustrated by about 20 cartoons on various subjects which he will draw during the course of the speech. At its close he will ask for volunteers from the audience to come upon the stage and be caricatured. Those who have heard Mr. Collier before promise that this part of the performance will provide much amusement for the audience and that it is not too painful for the subject of the caricaturist's pen.
