By Dean Cloyd:
Have remarks been made in your hearing as you have passed the Seventh Dormitory by students which caused you embarrassment and made it hard for you to go back and forth to your office?
By Miss Rowe:
Several times when I passed Seventh Dormitory I have heard the profanity among the boys.
By Dean Cloyd:
Has that been growing or increasing in the last three years?
By Miss Rowe:
Yes sir.
By Dr. Poole:
Was that directed at you?
By Miss Rowe:
Not at me, but it used to be here at State College, that if a lady was passing and a boy used profanity, that they would apologize, but in the past two or three years it seems that has just become a great habit around the dormitory and they don’t seem to care about using it in the presence of ladies.
By Dr. Poole:
Do you think that that is due to the foot-ball players only?
By Miss Rowe:
I couldn’t say, I just see the boys around the dormitory—I just couldn’t say who they are except the ones who live there.
