Girl students at the Randolph-Macon Institute, part of the Southern
Methodist institution, Danville, Va., have been told in blunt terms
they must wear their stockings as their mothers taught them and not in
conformity with fashion's latest edict, which provides for the rolling
process and knee lengths.
From sources of unquestioned authority comes word that within the last
few days the faculty of teachers were called together and served what
was little short of an ultimatum to the student body. Failure to comply
will be met with severe reprisals.
It is alleged and not contradicted, that certain young sophomores who
cling to college traditions have been "rolling their own" with ruthless
disregard to feet and meters. The students have accepted the order with
philosophy.
