HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Guarded by a cordon of police cars, Yard proctors, and Colonel Charles R. Apiod, an American Legion auxiliary unit and band marched bravely and unmolested down Massachusetts Avenue past the Yard early last night.
It was just a year ago to the day that four members of the Class of 1942 were arrested by Cambridge bluecoats for "disturbing the peace and breaking up a public demonstration."
