Garber Privately Tells Faculty That Harvard Must Rethink Messaging After GOP Victory
Four Cambridge youths assaulted two Harvard sophomores and a first year Law School student in a brawl at the Capri Sandwich Shop, 1691 Massachusetts Avenue, early this morning. Quentin C. Burrows '65 and John Lowell, Jr. '65, both of Winthrop House, escaped with minor injuries. Richard C. Greenberg, the Law School student, sought treatment at the University Health Services for multiple cuts and bruises.
The two sophomores said they entered the shop at 12:40 a.m. and that without any provocation, one of the youths began insulting Burrows, a Negro. When Lowell told the heckler "to mind his own business," another of the four attacked him, setting off a general fight. Greenberg, who had been sitting in the restaurant, joined in to help the outnumbered Harvard students.
While Lowell broke loose and ran to get a policeman, Burrows fought his way outside and locked himself in Lowell's car, which was parked in front of the shop. The four youths left Greenberg, and kicked in the right front window of the car, to reach Burrows, who escaped through another door. By the time Lowell returned with a policeman, the hoodlums had disappeared.
