One student told Price, "We've heard that you were active in the Harvard purge committees in 1952 and 1953." Price replied that he had not come to Harvard until 1958.

"As a matter of fact," Price said, "I never slept overnight in New England until I came to Harvard." He said he was a "civil servant" in the Defense Department during the early 1950's.

Price said last night that he misread a notice for the hearings and thought that the hearings would begin at 9:30 a.m., rather than 9 a.m. "But I would have missed an interesting discussion if I had gotten there on time," he added.

Surprise

"I was a little surprised when they left. I suppose they found the discussion unsatisfactory," Price said.

In a statement of procedure on May 20, the committee stated that "the respondent will be afforded adequate opportunity to reply to the evidence presented and submit evidence on his own behalf."

University policemen personally delivered summonses to Berg and Miss Kaplan.

However, one of the three teaching fellows who was investigated yesterday did not receive a summons from the Freund Committee. The Committee sent Offer a summons by registered mail, which he has not yet picked up at the post office.

The committee hearings lasted until almost 1 p.m. Freund said that the testimony against the teaching fellows was completed and that their cases are now under advisement.

The three-page summons delivered to Berg's residence last Thursday was signed by Freund. The summons stated, "You are invited to meet with the Committee in order to initiate an inquiry...on Tuesday, May 27, 1969."

The summons charged that berg "encouraged and participated in the forcible seizure of University Hall and in the forcible removal therefrom of Dean Robert B. Watson, Assistant Freshman Dean Burris Young, and other members of the Harvard community, and that you remained in University Hall after having been forbidden to do so by University authorities."

The summons requested Berg to "please advise me [Frenu] promptly whether you will attend this meeting."

"I don't see any point in getting in touch with him," Berg said on Monday, "because I don't think there's anything to gain from cooperating."

Berg said "the basic premise that it's wrong to fight against the Corporation is in itself a false premise." He explained that he viewed "everybody involved in the University Hall seizure as having interests opposed to the Corporation."

"There isn't any mutually acceptable settlement, unless they want to grant our demands," Berg said.
