HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
The Archbishop of Syria, S. A. Barasaum, visited the Widener Library and the Semitic Museum yesterday on a tour of the University. His Eminence was especially interested in the collection of Oriental literature, which he saw in the Library, and the Rendell Harris collection of Arabic and Syriac manuscripts.
A scholar of distinction himself, and also the owner of valuable Syriac manuscripts, the Archbishop is familiar with the principal libraries of Europe.
His Eminence's party was received at Harvard by W. C. Lance '81, Head Librarian, Dr. William Thomson, Instructor in Semitic languages and History, Professor W. H. P. Hatch of New Testament literature in the Episcopal Theological School, and Dean and Mrs. H. B. Washburn '91, also of the Episcopal Theological School.
