While board spokesmen have said that they are sensitive to the spirit of Harlem Prep, one official has already suggested that it might be moved from...

Earlier this year Tonis's force of 75 uniformed and armed University Police was bolstered by the addition of a 15-man student security patrol, equipped with two-way radios. Hall said that the force was so successful in helping University Police spot crimes, small fires and other problems around Harvard that it was increased to 40 students The students, who are paid a wage above $3 an hour to work shifts from 12 midnight to 8 a.m., are instructed to call the police on their radios if they spot any suspicious persons or anything that seems...
