Moreover the national officers, as well as some of the Harvard Klansmen, seem to fear the application of the University's rules against secret societies. Parietal Regulation number 31 declares that "every society of students shall give the Regent, at his request, a complete list of its officers and members" and the statutes of Harvard University declare that the Regent "is also expected...
