HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Favored with a cool evening and a novel blue sky, the Glee Club ducked out from Sever 11 last night to line Widener's steps for the first of its two Yard Concerts. Taking their cur from the 7 o'clock chapel bell, the songsters led off with the Harvard Hymn, strayed from there through Virgil Thomson and Handel, and then chorused home with a brace of football songs, abetted--if not too precisely-- by the audience.
Conant Attends
President and Mrs. Conant were among the crowd of 2000 that covered the surrounding grass and walks. Under the sure-footed direction of G. Wallace Woodworth '24, perched on a lower step, the Club highlighted the concert with a Gertrude Stein selection from "Four Saints in Three Acts." Critical Widener concert-goers called it a little less reserved than the library's stacks, if not exactly comparable.
After venting its classical feelings last night, the Club will return step-side next week with a lighter program, featuring "Casey Jones" and a chorus from Strauss.
