Wesleyan Pres Miffed


A group of law students at the Wesleyan Law School put on a dance, complete with orchestra and refreshments on October 21, 1915 in the rooms of the Bloomington Club. What these future lawyers failed to consider was the Wesleyan's strict rule against dancing, and tried the hair-splitting argument that they were students of the "Bloomington Law School" rather than "Illinois Wesleyan University." Not very chivalrous of them, as this argument threw the girls right under the bus. The students were called before the president and reprimanded for this lapse in their behavior. No names were named, so the record of those students was not marred by this mischief.
