man g record for punctuality in at

member Is of course highly CON-
mendable, but he should blame no
one but himself for the disappoint-
ment he experienced at not being

Ordinarily l pay 10 heed to such

ice and of ignorance in this unjusti-
fable article of yours that take oc-
casion to call your attention to some

will prevent future miscouception.

for some reason President Alan

was entirely innocent of any purpose

the annual session of congress begins
Oh the first Monday in December.
There was, lherefore,n no necessity for
ssconfict" and had the meeting
been either earlier or later l could
have attended it without difficulty.
In my judgment the Clemson trustee
meeting was of far more importance
than of my answering the roll call
here. Had attended the meeting of

to have left Immediately to attend

YOU are innocent of intentional or
