This photograph was taken on April 10, 1970, and shows tents on the Naismith Green with Marsh Memorial in the background, with two people pictured going inside the building. The tent on the right-hand side of the photograph has a male student sitting on the grass and leaning on it, while the tent on the left side seems to have a student inside. The photograph was taken during the demonstrations that took place on the campus of Springfield College. During this time, students set up tents on the green, where students staged a hunger strike.
