The only evidence furnished your commottee to proTe th1s) was contained in a paper prepared b~T a pro:ress·or of the University whose conduct was I. unde r conslde rat ion. ~ Jlembers ot the exutive committee. knew that I could offer testimony in refutation of that ot the roffessor. ,Will you inform me Why Iwas not invited to do do ? Afair trial surely calls .for all the evidence possible, not simply for that which will clear' the accused • 1ly good name is quite as precious to me as the Pro:f'easors is to ~ him and your committee I am sure will agree that it is just as important that you do justice to :riTe women as to one man. Had I known judgement was to be passed upon me I should certainly have demanded admittance to the trial • Because a Terdict was rendered by your committee against myself and others without our being permitted to defend ourselves I ask you to declare that verdict illegal and void. Respectfully,
