He was temporarily put up at the Harvard Union in a bed in which President Roosevelt once had slept. Later he stopped for a time at the Phoenix Club. Specialists in the Prince's Harvard career say that he brushed aside the matter of entrance requirements by describing to President Lowell, in a personal interview, how his papers had been destroyed when the Rods burned the Winter Palace.

...reinstatement. Rather aimlessly molested by policemen on one occasion and finally allowed to continue their meeting, they later attempted a discussion in the college building itself, and were ejected when the director of the Evening School called in the police.
