Open Letter Requests Conant To Ask Court to Free Rioters
Coolidge Included on Committee to Approach President
An open letter asking him to intercede on the part of the seven Hanfstaengl rioters who will have a hearing on their petition for appeal tomorrow has been presented to President Conant by four students and Albert Sprague Coolidge, Lecturer in Chemistry.
The letter calls attention to the prosecutor's chief argument, based mainly on the alleged insult to the University, and maintains that a plea for clemency by the University would result in release as it did in the case of two girl rioters who were on trial a few weeks ago.
The letter is signed by Eugene D. Bronstein 1G, Boone Schirmer '37, Albert Sprague Coolidge, Raymond Dennett '36, and Victor H. Kramer '35.
