HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
A Harvard graduate who sells encyclopedias yesterday told the Massachusetts Committee on Education of his plans to relocate the College in Lawarence and to move M.I.T. to Harvard.
At the same time, Winchester Fitch Ingersoll, Jr. '48 announced that he would seek the Republican nomination against Senator John F. Kennedy '40 this year.
Ingersoll explained last night that the College should be moved because he feels that a "liberal arts school should prepare more people to go into business," and with its present location Harvard is surrounded by graduate schools "which create the impression that the end-all of college education is more education."
He stated that M.I.T. could easily move to Harvard since its present site would be ideal for the development of gas turbine engines. Ingersoll explained the development of such engines was extremely important to reduce "smog" in Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, and Boston.
