HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
A hissing bombshell has been tessed into the camp of what he calls the "middle-aged moralists" by the declaration of the vice-chancellor of Oxford that the most agreeable quality of the modern student is his excellent deportment and beautiful manners.

The new chivalry is not bounded by the ivy quadrangles of old England or the wide campuses of America. This was something that long needed saying, if only to give the lie to the "Constant Reader" whose form letter appears about twice a week in the local press, retelling the pathetic tale of the old lady with the black shawl who had to stand up in the subway all the way to Harvard Square.
