Tlx* 71 students who compost'

of Cad* t Thornwell, were,
aft'r a thorough investigation of
their ease, granted permission to

"four." Professor Bracket! ?javc

Such was the euslotn and the understanding
of the class, ami sev
eral boys who were put on the
stand ailirmed that the tubes were
always considered property to be
used without asking pennission.
