Becky Cooper: Harvard Detective
Becky Cooper 10 published her new non-fiction book, âWe Keep the Dead Close: A Murder at Harvard and Half a Century of Silence on Nov. 10. The book dives into a story Cooper stumbled upon as an undergrad, which started out as little more than a rumor. The whispers told of a young Anthropology graduate student named Jane Britton.
Rebecca âBeckyâ A. Cooper â10 actually remembers her freshman convocation speaker. Her voice deepens and her vowels lengthen as she mimics the âvery illustrious Harvard accentâ of Jeremy R. Knowles, a former dean.
âYour job for the next four years is to learn how to sort out the rot,â she remembers Knowles telling her freshman class.
