...published in another column, as well as from other sources, that Mr. King is not a poor student who is working his way through college. Even if he were, however, he would have no business to do so in the role which he has chosen. No one has more respect than we have for those who support themselves through college in a legitimate way. The member of '79 who supported himself for two years by selling books was thoroughly respected by all who knew him, and any slur cast upon him would have been resented by every decent...

...future. An exception is made, however, in the case of any scout working for a college officer. It seems to us that this is an inconsistency on the part of the Bursar.
