Mischief of the pillar painting or statue lifting sort by Harvard men in New Haven next weekend will be frowned upon by the University to the extent of severing of connections, Dean Bender said yesterday.
Such disciplinary action for defacement of property has been standard procedure at Dartmouth, Brown, Cornell, and Harvard for several years. No students have been dropped here for vandalism, however, since before the war.
Bender noted that Harvard men have long been "very sensible about deliberate property damage." If destruction results from accident rather than a premeditated plan, he added, the University's wrath will take less severe forms.
