University Wins Permit to Use Building for Delinquency Study

So long as both Harvard students and juvenile delinquents are kept off the promises, it will be all right for the University to establish a center for the study of delinquency at 3 Garden St., the Cambridge Appeal Board ruled Wednesday.

An initial request by the University to use 3 Garden St. was turned down by the city's commissioner of Buildings, who pointed out that the building was located in a residential area. After a University representative had argued that neither delinquents nor students would frequent the center, the Appeal Board reversed the Commissioner.

Law School criminologists Sheldon and Eleanor Glueck will direct the center.
