Harvard President Garber Declines To Rule Out Police Response To Campus Protests
President Eliot, in response to a request from Mr. A. E. Frye L. S. '90, Superintendent of Schools in Cuba, has consented to furnish free tuition in the Summer School, for a large number of native Cuban school teachers. According to reports from Havana, if adequate arrangements can be made, about 1000 teachers will take advantage of this offer. The government will probably furnish army transports for bringing them here, and Mr. Frye hopes it will be possible for them to visit many different cities, through the generosity of the railroads and the municipalities themselves.
The plan originated with Mr. E. L. Conant '84, a former instructor in the University. He was afterward engaged in the practice of law in New York city, and went to Havana as soon as the United States came into control of the city. He proposed this plan about a year ago, but it was not taken up at once, since it was thought to be premature.
