‘The Architect of the Whole Plan’: Harvard Law Graduate Ken Chesebro’s Path to Jan. 6
While the big bass drum stood guard, the Harvard Band surprised both Smith and Cornell this past weekend with twilight concerts. The Band rolled into Smith Friday night while the girls were preoccupied with visiting Yale men.
When the Band struck up "Ten Thousand Men . . ." the girls rushed from the mixers and begged the uniformed members to stay. The Yale men looked dejected.
"Sorry, girls," said undergraduate Band leader Alan S. Novick '55, "but we have a treat for Cornell." The Band arrived at Ithaca a few minutes past five the next morning. Local police were the first to greet them.
After a number of ploys to escape the watchful eye of the law officers, the Band organized and marched 100-strong toward the women's dormitory. A police car rushed to cut them off.
"Will you let us play?" Novick questioned. The officer was visibly shaken by the on-coming Band.
"There's over a hundred of you and only one of me--I can't stop you," the policeman replied.
