Harvard Professor Robbed Last Week

A Harvard professor was robbed at gunpoint last week in front of Kirkland House. The robbery was the 44th "major crime" at Harvard to be reported to the University Police since January 1.

The crime took place at 2 a.m. April 9. The assailant reportedly held a gun to the professor's head and demanded money.

According to the University Police report concerning the crime, the professor lost personal papers, several credit cards, a $100 personal check and $3 in cash. He was not harmed during the robbery. Police declined to identify the professor.

Sargeant Daniel Ahern said yesterday that the professor viewed mug shots at police headquarters but was unable to identify his assailant. The professor claimed, however, that he could make positive identification of the robber if he saw the robber again, Ahern said.
