Crimson Creakin’: September 25 in Harvard History
Posted by Bella Wang on September 25, 2009 at 5:00 pm
September 25, 1949: Four Harvard students returned from a government-sponsored expedition to the Arctic (link is an announcement of the trip from March). For one dollar a day, you, too, could wander around the North Pole doing construction work for the federal government.
September 25, 1969: Twenty or thirty people attacked the Center for International Affairs (CFIA), roughing up employees and spray-painting “Pig,” “Fuck U.S. Imperialism,” and “Imperialists Screw All Women” on the walls, supposedly to protest the CFIA’s “complicity in counter-revolutionary warfare.” I assume they confused the CFIA with the CIA.
September 25, 1981: $1441 was stolen from the freezer of the Greenhouse Cafe, so I guess they only hide the money and not the bodies in the Science Center’s freezers.
