HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Living conditions in poorer sections of Boston are constantly deteriorating and students must wake up to the fact, according to Carle C. Zimmerman associate professor of Sociology, Robert F. Bales, instructor in Sociology, and John M. Kingman '14, headworker of Lincoln and Hale settlement houses, speakers at a PBH sponsored forum in Adams Upper Common Room last night.
"Irritated with sociologists because they don't go down at look at the slums." Professor Zimmerman said that the great challenge confronting urbanites today is "whether or not people are going to understand these bad conditions and whether or not they are going to move in and correct them."
Bales declared that "the roots of Fascism are here, just as in Germany. All the things we think of as ills of society have come to a peak in the heart of the city."
