Prowler Stalks Library

A Radcliffe girl reported at the Widener reference desk yesterday that she had been "bothered" by a man while studying in the stacks.

By the time Harvard police arrived on the scene, however, the library's "prowler" had apparently made his escape.

Jack F. Kotteman, librarian's assistant, who was on duty at the time and made the call to the police, commented, "This sort of thing is more common than you think."
