Roisterers Released

"You will refrain from molesting policemen and, as you grow up to be professors, you will refrain from attacking the courts and the police."

Thus did Judge David F. Dillon of the Superior Criminal Court at East Cambridge, Mass., last week probate ten Harvard students and a tobacco-shop proprietor, who took part in a flinging of eggs, ice, bottles, epithets, at Cambridge police in Harvard Square, last winter (TIME, Feb. 21, et seq.). Each of the roisterers was required to give surety of $100 "to keep the peace and be of good behavior." Jail sentences which had been imposed by a lower court were not mentioned; hence, were dropped.
