In 1934, two young women from Cambridge (Nora Burke and Sheila Shugrue) were arrested for protesting at Harvard's Commencement. They were protesting the presence of Ernst Hanfstaengl (class of 1909), a close friend and aide of Adolf Hitler, who was attending his 25th reunion at Harvard.
newspaper column from 1934 TWO GIRLS, ANTI-NAZI DEMONSTRATORS, FINED BOSTON, June 27. (AP)-Nora Burke, 20, and Sheila Shugrue, 18, Cambridge girls who were among a group of nine persons arrested in connection with an anti-Nazi dem- onstration during Harvard commence- ment exercises, today were found guilty of willfully interrupting a public assembly and were fined $50 each. They appealed the Cambridge District Court decision and were held in $500 each for the Superior Court. The girls interrupted the speech of President James Bryant Conant of Harvard at the Harvard alumni ex- ercises after chaining themselves to fence posts to prevent their removal. The demonstration was occasioned by the presence of Ernest F. S. Hanf- staengl, aide to Chancellor Adolf Hit- ler of Germany, at the Harvard com- mencement week exercises. as Counsel for the girls in court to- day said the girls had been denied the right of free speech and charac- terized their demonstration "noble" against "a representative of a madman". Judge Louis L. Green said he was not concerned with the "nobility" of their acts and said free- dom of speech did not give them the right to disrupt a public assembly.

In honor of all the new arrivals, I'm sharing one of my favorite videos.

It shows 24 hours of Earth's rotation, with the camera locked to the sky instead of the ground. We're all hanging out on this spinning rock.

Brilliant work by Bartosz Wojczyński. 🧪

In 1693, a Manila Galleon full of goods and bound for Acapulco, wrecked on the coast of what is now Oregon, never reaching its destination. A craftsman from the Nehalem-Tillamook and Clatsop peoples made this arrowhead (in the Tillamook Pioneer Museum) out of Qing dynasty porcelain from the wreck.

"I saved Flavored Vaping"
@realDonaldTrump I saved Flavored Vaping in 2019, and it greatly helped people get off smoking. I raised the age to 21, keeping it away from the “kids.” Kamala and Joe want everything banned, killing small businesses all over the Country. I’ll save Vaping again!

Crosses were not a common motif on New England gravestones before the 19th century, when Catholic immigrants brought their cross-iconography traditions to NE graveyards.

Big, luscious boobs, however, were actually a very common symbol on 18th-century gravestones — a metaphor for the two testaments.

“What I conclude from this study is the Ivy League doesn’t have low-income students because it doesn’t want low-income students,” said Susan Dynarski, an economist at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, who has reviewed the data and was not involved in the study.
