Over the ensuing weekend things quieted down. But on Monday President Quincy called in prominent members of the Freshman and Sophomore classes. In unequivocal terms with a voice that shook in rage, he told the students that it was the duty of the Faculty and the determination of the Corporation to punish those students who had destroyed and trespassed on University property.
