HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
"I wish to extend a hearty welcome to the Class of 1931 and assure you that all of us in the Dean's Office are anxious and willing to help you in every way possible to a good start in one of the most important adventures of your life. Also, as the year moves on, we hope that you will come to us freely about your various problems, needs, and plans. A dean's office, I fear, is often pictured as a kind of "Star chamber" where long hours are spent in devising various forms of disciplinary action ranging all the way from admonition to probation and expulsion. This is not, and never has been, a true picture of the situation at Harvard, nor at any other college worthy of the name. We are rather busy men, and now and then you may have to wait your turn in the outer office, but please remember that we are always glad to see you and that it is our aim to keep the 'college office' a friendly place where you will be welcome at all times, whether it be on a matter of business or for a friendly chat."
