.BRYN MAWR ANSWER TO SUIT
!. CALLS STUDENTIOW GRADE"
College Drops Pittsburgh Girl From Roll and NoO Defend
Acton in Courts Right Interfere

Miss Stambaugh, in her legal action,
declared she had made necessary prog :
ress in her studies and that the action
of the senate is unfair. .
The reason given for the exclusion
of Miss Stambaugh follows:
''She has been excluded from the
college under the automatic operation
of rules which have been found very
seryiceable to the institution. and her
case has been treated no differently from
other cases arising under the same or
similar state of facts. She, as her
records show, was very low grade
student, rather Indifferent in her work,
and, after the fairest opportunities that
could be shown her, failed to conform
with the minimum requirements of the
Institution, To confer degrees upon
such students would be hurtful to the
reputation and aim of Bryn Mawr Col.
lege.
There was no i'll will or personal
dislike either influencing the faculty or
the senate in their actions. Both have
acted sincerely in protecting and pro /.
noting the best interests of the insti :
tuition, and she, like all others of her
class, has been refused further instrue-
tion or diploma"
