President Conant's plea for leniency yesterday brought freedom to the two girls arrested last June for their agitation against Hanfstaengl. The two girls, Sarah Barr and Jean Lenthier, had chained themselves to benches and fences in the Yard, and, temporarily secure from police interference had repeatedly interrupted President Conant's speech with cries of "Down with Hanfstaengl!"
