Because of our protest the Yard cop demanded the name of one of us. We resumed play only to be interrupted...

If the Alumni respond quickly enough, the University might still be able to restore the forgotten graduate school to its proper position and establish a center of religious education in Cambridge that will have definitive influence based on "an emphasis upon solid learning and unfettered freedom of teaching and investigation...
