HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
The Corporation has officially closed the gates of Harvard Stadium to professional football, according to Charles P. Whitlock, Assistant to the President for Civic Affairs.
In rejecting feelers from the ten-man syndicate that obtained a Boston franchise in the new American Football League, the Corporation, according to Whitlock, acted to keep the Harvard name free from association with professional athletics.
William H. Sullivan, president of the team, was refused his second choice, Fenway Park, by Fenway business manager Richard O'Connell last week. The syndicate has also been unsuccessful in attempts to rent Boston University or Boston College's Alumni Field.
Last Tuesday the Boston City Council passed a resolution naming a committee to help Sullivan's entry find a home before opening day next fall.
