A Murder

The recent murder and attempted rape of Radcliffe Institute Fellow Ethel Higonnet in Longfellow Park prompted various responses from Harvard administrators. President Horner recommended increased use of the shuttle bus and walking in groups, while President Bok's faculty committee on violent crime took action. Despite these measures, the author states that such precautions would not have prevented Higonnet's daylight murder and the incident underscores the need for a society with complete social and sexual equality, free from the fear of rape.
