Harvard upper-classmen are singing a new version of Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight. They want more time to entertain their dates in dormitories on weekends. At present the distaff side must be out by 7 P.M.
So strongly do the boys feel that they are circulating petitions to support their cause. Bring them around. We'll sign them. How on earth can a Harvard man do justice to diancties, existensionalism, Russia, Freud and all the other weighty subjects with which his head is crammed by 7 P.M.?

Most other colleges held off on the curfew. Certainly a Harvard man is as safe and sane as one from Dartmouth. Boston Traveler, October 14, 1950
