Yard Committeemen Strike at Tradition

Creeping liberalism crept a little further here last night when the Freshman Union Committee endorsed the wearing of Bermuda shorts in the Harvard Union by an 11 to 4 vote.

Yardling conservatives managed to insert a clause specifying that long socks be worn with the shorts, but several committeemen still were not satisfied. "The wearing of trousers is the last thread of tradition left at Harvard," protested Robert J. Wyman '60. Harvard Union officials still must approve the rule change.
