On April 4, 1768, about one hundred angry Harvard College undergraduates, well over half the student body, left school and went home, in protest against new rules about class preparation. Their action constituted the largest student strike at any colonial American college. Pedagogues and Protesters recounts the year in daily journal entries by Stephen Peabody, a member of the class of 1769.
