BOMB SCARE

Residents of Kirkland House were evacuated from their rooms after the Harvard switchboard received a bomb threat at about 3:00 a.m. today, Sgt. Peter O'Hare of the Harvard University Police said.

Harvard police and Fire Department officials searched the library and dining hall areas but found no bomb, he added. Students were allowed to return to their rooms at 3:40 a.m.

A series of bomb scares at Room 13 at Stoughton Hall drew much attention last semester. Police added that it was unusual to receive a bomb threat for an undergraduate House.
