He has not seen the men and yet he calls them vermin-hsunted and soap fearing. This is not true, as the men wash themselves as often, probably as ever the dean of the law school. Although these men have not enjoyed the advantages of early training as the dean and don't enjoy the snap which he has fallen into, yet it is unfair for him to try to prejudice body of young men sgsinst us by calling l us all the mean things he can think of, simply because he does not sympsthize if he had ever had anything to do with the dean before, he explained that the dean was on the board of prison directors when Chamberlain was deposed.
