With a flurry of mimeographed broadsides, the Harvard - Radcliffe Peace Strike Committees prepared the way this weekend for their Wednesday walkout from classes.
The names of Richard D. Edwards '41 and red-headed Miss Jane T. Pike, Radcliffe '41 appeared at the bottom of two leaflets, one letter to the Faculty, and a mammoth telegram to President Roosevelt.
