Professor Packard Refuses To Preserve Student's Oath

Voice Recorder Does Not Consider It Worthy of Immortality

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Professor Packard evidently does not consider a student's oath of as much consequence as a teacher's, and has refused to preserve one on his famous records.

One victim of his voice recordings was shoved before the microphone yesterday without being given a chance to read over the script.
