Hearing about my friend's son served as a reality check that brought to mind a number of ideas and re-evaluations.

He was jailed by the Cambridge Police. Until this member of the Med. Fac. was caught, the Harvard administration had blamed the crimes on Cambridge townspeople, claiming that these townies had created Med. Fac. as a way to scapegoat innocent Harvard men. When the Cambridge police caught this member in 1905, however, the truth about Med. Fac. was exposed...
