HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
With a flurry of mimeographed broadsides, the Harvard - Radcliffe Peace Strike Committees prepared the way this weekend for their Wednesday walkout from classes.
The names of Richard D. Edwards '41 and red-headed Miss Jane T. Pike, Radcliffe '41 appeared at the bottom of two leaflets, one letter to the Faculty, and a mammoth telegram to President Roosevelt.
Stressing opposition to conveys and to an A. E. F., the strike committee co-chairman quoted in their own behalf the latest Gallup Poll, Arthur N. Holcombe '06, professor of Government, and the President himself.
Arguing that "open war" is condemned by the American people as "destructive of our resources, lives, and liberties," Edwards and Miss Pike urged support of the strike as a protest against "the continued movement for military intervention."
