In Connecticut, Southern students hoist the Palmetto Flag over Yale College's Alumni Hall
Yale students leaving Sunday morning prayers looked up to see a large "Palmetto Flag" waving from the tower of Alumni Hall, placed there by Southern students. Many called it a worthy riposte to a group of Northern students paying African-American janitors to wear the "secession cockade" the previous week but the more radical Republican students considered it an unbearable insult. A group of around twenty smashed a door to the tower, climbed up, and removed the banner, cutting it into twenty pieces for souvenirs. (By John Osborne)
