April 22, 1925 issue

add to cart   close window

The article highlights that managing editor Henrietta Perkins has recently denounced the R.O.T.C. unit at Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts. As managing editor of the college comic weekly, the Beanpot, she issued jokes devoted to the glories of the Boston University R.O.T.C. She displayed in this joke all the most seditious and dangerous qualities that a human being can have. The dean immediately demanded her resignation from the staff of the paper and suggested that action might be taken to remove her bodily from the college. The jokes were reprinted in the Boston press, the drawings were reproduced and Perkins was widely quoted.
