HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Leaders of the Harvard Peace Council last night emphasized the fact that their organization, unlike the Students for Non-Violent Action, is not a pacifist group.
Speaking for the Peace Council, Louis F. Sharpe '54, a member of the executive board, said the two groups are "ultimately working for the same ends, but the Peace Council does not believe in a pacifist philosophy."
The S.N.V.A. split off from the Peace Council last week when the Council would not commit themselves to a policy of pacifism. "The S.N.V.A. would exclude a true liberal and peace-lover if he is not a pacifist," Sharpe said. "Our group is interested in the reduction of armaments throughout all world powers, not in any one nation," he said.
