Hall. We came here to live as
freshmen and we object to being thrust from it after two years'
residence in it. We have been given to understand that
complaint against us is to be lodged with you by Miss Remson.
Will you not take up the matter summarily with her and see that
we obtain justice?

"Yours sincerely,

A united gasp arose as Miss Remson finished the reading of Joan Myers'

"Who told the Sans that you weren't going to allow them to come back to
the Hall?" was Marjorie's pertinent question. "I can answer for every
one of us in saying that we never repeated a word outside of our own
intimate circle."

"That is a question I have pondered more than once during the summer,"
Miss Remson responded with alacrity. "I did not suspect one of you for
