Students on the sixth floor of Quincy House discovered an elderly man in their room about 11 p.m. last night.
Gregory M. Heestand '98 said he returned from the Malkin Athletic Center to find "an older gentleman sitting on [his] roommate's bed with one of his source books."
"I said 'Hi.' He said 'I'm just leaving a note,' so I thought he knew my roommate," Heestand said.
A few minutes later, Heestand said he saw the man in the bathroom looking in the mirror. Heestand said the man then left the room while he was upstairs talking with his roommates.
"He looked like someone's father," said Jay M. Dickerson '98.
Dickerson said he saw the man--whom he described as being lanky and Caucasian--standing outside of his room before he entered Heestand's suite.
Dickerson said he asked the man if he could help him, and the man replied that he was looking for someone named Army. He said he needed to give her a course-book on British society.
Heestand and his roommates called the police. Two Harvard police officers arrived on the scene.
Officer Bill Chipman said he searched building, cellar and tunnels of Quincy and talked to students but did not find the man.
