8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports

APTED HAS NO FEAR OF VISIT TO YARD FROM DILLINGER

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In response to worried queries from harassed Harvard men as to the danger of that ole devil Jumping John Dillinger, 1934's desperate man about the country, showing up in the Yard some of these days, Lieutenant-Colonel Charles R. Apted '06, of the Yard forces, revealed yesterday that there was little or no danger of such a happening in these well guarded precincts. Apted, who at first shied away from the questions in favor of giving his opinions on the need of a national police force, did reveal that such fears were mere tommyrot among the full grown men at Harvard. Although residents of Revere and Malden have been sure that the Minnesota Ford V-8 seen on the parkways and sidestreets of those towns belonged to the Indiana sheriff-slipper, Apted was inclined to chalk such accounts up to profit and loss, and took the opportunity to tell of his ideas for the country's need of a national unified police force. "If this country had a unified police system, men like Dillinger would never exist," the famous detective is quoted as saying.
