Organizers addressed the backlash in a statement to The Tab, explaining they could not make a last-minute swap because the theme was chosen “months ago.”
“We are aware of the worrying news about Pembroke alumnus Hamish Harding. Today’s May Ball theme was chosen many months ago and if we could change it now, we would,” the official statement read. “All we can say is that we sincerely hope that Mr. Harding and the others on board the submarine will be found safe and well. Our thoughts go out to the Harding family at this very difficult time.”
