...contradiction to the unfortunate statement quoted in the March 16 CRIMSON, we wish to say that in our opinion much of the credit for the success of "Wonderful Town" is due to the many Harvard men who were involved in the production.

As one student put it "It really doesn't mean anything...
Harvey M. Applebaum, speaking for the Yale Hillel group, said today in a statement to the Yale Daily News, "I am firmly convinced that there was no connection of any kind between anti-Semitism and the events occuring on Saturday." The main event to which Applebaum referred was the hanging of a Nazi swastika from the walls of one of the colleges during the Saturday parade...
