Syllabus

<p>1. For the President of a co-educational college to say of a girl, student, who.has been suspended but not expelled, that “she got to running out at night with the boys; she was out one night in particular until half past seven or eight o’clock and did not come to her supper at all, and on various occasions she was doing the same thing and came in late to her supper” is not a charge of fornication.</p> <p>2. It is not slanderous, as charging fornication, for a President of a college to say of a suspended student that ‘she would be ruined for life’ if he told all he knew of her.</p> <p>3. When the spoken words could not properly leave on the hearer’s mind the impression charged in the inuendo, there is no issue for the jury.</p>
