Inside the room, a line of Harvard students wearing what look like rubber rainboots stomp their feet, twisting, jumping and slapping at their cumbersome footwear. One student voices commands in a foreign tongue: encouraging words in varied tones and volumes. The group responds. Such performative exchanges—not to mention the boots—are a good indication of what makes the group distinctive. But the Harvard College Gumboots Dance Troupe is about more...
Barricaded in their rooms by police caution tape, students in Kirkland House did not know how to react in the stressful aftermath of Monday afternoon’s shooting.

But that kind of omnipotent power works only when members are confident it will be exercised under control.
