with initiation ceremonies of the Elks'

Reflection convinces me that my
protest against personal indignity and
coarse buffonery was timely and en-
tirely justifiable. For the first time in
its history member of my family has
received an insulting blow and been
powerless to resent it.
They have protested against the
word indignity, but 1 have been so far
unable to find a softer word to describe
the infiictiOn under the circumstances
graduate myself that 1 was not intim-
idated into the customary cowardly
submission to indignities, the first and
probably the mildest of which was suf-
ficient to make me declare myself and
withdraw.
ct was only because of the solemn
assurance that 1 had received in the
ante-room that no indignities would be
offered that / allowed myself to be
blindfolded and led into the lodge
room. ! am convinced that when time
and sober reason have removed the last
vestige of the undignified and debasing
practices that cisgraced the order in its
primitive days that l shall be asked
again to present myself for initiation,
but until then I prefer to preserve my
personal dignity and American manli-
ness

was not only taking undue liberties
with the young ladies, but that one

notoriety as a result. Professor Dun

ladies themselves. the committee found
there was absolutely no truth in the
stories.
Professor Dunbar has said if he
hears any more such reports about
himself he will have the scandal mon

what they said. The affair has stirred
the people of Rock Springs as never

mention the professors name for fear
