...slip was returned with the words "At the Book Bindery" written in one corner. So you see no member of the class could be guilty of the removal. I write this article that the readers of the CRIMSON may know the truth of the case, and to prevent suspicion being directed to any member of the Section...
...students became aroused to the evil and turned their attention to the detection of the culprits. It is certainly a disagreeable fact, but it seems hardly possible that a stranger could secure access to the dressing rooms and lockers without attracting the attention of the attendants or students. The suspicion that the malefactor is no outsider must force itself upon us, and ought to arouse every student to be watchful and vigilant, that this disgrace may be removed by the prompt detection and punishment of the guilty parties.

It is not strange, however, if in future C's contributors are passed with suspicion. D. sings his little "Willow song," mounts his little pedestal, poses for a moment, and passes away. Such are our poets. They sing to us and we listen in pleased surprise, or transient pain...
