We have attempted to take our re
moval in a dignified way and our only

whole thing is a result of making a

"I here can be no object in review

culminated in the near riot, for by this
time all who are Interested in learn

portunlty to acquaint themselves with
the facts The poHitlotr ol the ollnei.s

We admit ourselves guilty of technical
offense in not attempting to lestiain
the men ol our company from using
abusive language toward the com
mandant but we llimly believe that
all the men, both olllcers and pi nates
aie equally guiltv ol the same offense
and that there is justification for the
attitude taken by the entue regimint
at that time Oiu conviction was
based upon the free and fi.ink con

of the student body and all others who
are at all Interested in the affair, and
are confident that a fair and impartial
trial would not only result irr tn-eing
us from the charge placed against us
but would reveal facts which would
show that the blame for the entire
occurrence does not rest upon any one
of the cadet ofllcers
"Nothing gives us more satisfaction
than the knowledge that our brother

our integrity and eflicierrcy as cadet

A College Student's
Summer
During the summer of 1911, a college
student appointed sixty agents-undcr-contract
to sell Tin, Svi i kdy Kvlminc,
Post and Thk Ladiis1 Homk Journal
in small towns and villages. By placing
these contracts he earned $425.53 in
commissions and $55.00 in prize money
total $480.53.
We want several college students,
twenty -one years old or over, to do
similar work this summer. We also
have permanent, profitable work for a
number of men able to travel and ap
pointagents to sell our publications.
