Bugün öğrendim ki: 1920'de Harvard'da öğrenciler arasındaki eşcinsel ilişki iddialarını araştırmak ve dava açmak için "Gizli Mahkeme" adında bir disiplin mahkemesi kuruldu. Bir öğrencinin üniversite arşivinde "Gizli Mahkeme" etiketli bir dosyayla karşılaştığı 2002 yılına kadar varlığı bilinmiyordu.

Disciplinary tribunal at Harvard University [](/wiki/File:Americana_1920_Harvard_Harvard_ University in 1920 The **Secret Court of 1920** was an _ad hoc_ disciplinary tribunal of five administrators at [Harvard University](/wiki/Harvard_University "Harvard University") formed to investigate charges of homosexual activity among the student population. During two weeks in May and June 1920, "the court", headed by acting dean [Chester Noyes Greenough](/wiki/Chester_Noyes_Greenough "Chester Noyes Greenough"), conducted more than 30 interviews behind closed doors and took action against eight students, a recent graduate, and an assistant professor. They were expelled or had their association with the university severed. Two of the students were later readmitted. The affair went unreported until 2002.
