HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Four years ago basketball was dropped from the number of minor sports at Harvard, principally because the facilities in the Hemenway Gymnasium were so inadequate. Since 1915 basketball in other colleges has risen to a place of great popularity, and at several institutions has been made a major sport.
