...days after this, and even the Harvard Faculty threw in its collective word against the police. Then the matter died down and was apparently forgotten until just the day before yesterday, when an official report of the incident was released, complete with afildavits of Harvard students. The 16 image document consures the "savage conduct" of the police, and demands the removal of the Boston Police Commissionor and Superintendent unless it can be proved that they were "in no way connected with the orders given...
