An Explanation,
College Station, Tex., Oct. 12, 1902.
Report:—Occupants of 15 Pfeuffer,
sweeping out after the janitor.
Explanation:—Sir:—I do hereby state
upon my word of honor as a gentleman of
this College that I did not sweep out after
the janitor had swept, and that the report
is a mistake.
I have proof by two fellow cadets, who
were in my room at the time, that I did
not sweep out into the hall.
The trash evidently came from further
down the hall and was swept in front of
my door in order that the responsibility
should be cast upon my shoulders.
It would be self evident that if I had
swept out into the hall, that I would not
have left the trash in front of my door
I think that the person that would do
such a thing has very little principle about
him. I leave the matter to your discern-
ment. Very respectfully,
Jerome Cochran,
Cadet Private Co. C., Second Class.
