ATTACKED CLEANLINESS
STANFORD UNIVERSITY,
STUDENT HUMILIATED
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.--Manacled, pinioned and placarded, J. J. Collins, a graduate student, who recently attacked the cleanliness of Stanford University in an article in a student paper, stood chained to a tree before the campus postoffice for nearly an hour, subject to jeers from a swarm of students. Pinned to his chest was a sign which read:
"J. J. Collins, traitor to Stanford. He is a man without a college."
-Kusko Times.
Note. -How very human these boys are.
In the olden days, however, they would have burned Collins for a witch.
