The Secret Court of 1920
This article is an in-depth investigation of Harvard's Secret Court, which was created in 1920 to clandestinely investigate and persecute students involved in homosexual activities. It begins with the suicide of Cyril Wilcox, who had been involved in homosexual spaces at Harvard and in Boston and had been investigated by the Court. After his death, the Court continued to investigate and try other Harvard affiliates for homosexuality.| Creator |
