According to the Harvard Crimson, on April 9, 1969, hundreds of students occupied University Hall in an effort to draw attention to the seriousness of their demands which included “abolishing ROTC, halting Harvard construction in local residential areas, and restoring scholarships to students on probation for the Paine Hall sit-in.”
In the early morning hours of April 10, the University dispatched hundreds of suburban and state police officers to Harvard Yard to remove student activists from the area.
