One Called Off Because No Witness Could Be Found.

Students in the College of Agriculture paddled a youth at noon, after holding court on the steps of the Agricultural Building. The defendant and his "lawyers" were not able to convince the crowd that he was not guilty of walking on the campus grass.

A paddling by the students in the School of Engineering took place at 2 o'clock on the West Campus, but another one planned by the students in the same school was called off because no witness to the alleged offense could be found.
