months previous because he reported
the circumstances OF what is known
hercabouts as the Kirchner case. Pro-
feasor Otto Kirchner. OF Detroit, while
delivering lecture 10 the Junior law

article he was quickly summoned be-
fore the faculty and told that II he re-
ported anything detrimental TO the uni

flesh had been substituted for other
meat. The Joke" was perpetrated In
the iissecting room. The victim, Fred

as the baron" took one bite of the
mess and swallowed It. He then took
another before he realized what hide
Gus and barbarous act had been done.

former clergyman of New York city.
Mr.. Cameron was expelled just six
weeks previous to the time OF gradua-
