Parmenter waited a moment before replying.
“Who is my accuser?” he asked.
“A member of the faculty has preferred the charge,” was the reply.
“May I ask which member of the faculty?”
Professor Lee arose from his chair.
“I made the charge, Mr. Parmenter,” he said, “upon information derived from a student at this college.”
“May I ask what student?” again inquired Parmenter.
“I am not at liberty to give you his name,” was the reply.
The accused man turned again to the president.
“I demand the right to meet my accuser face to face,” he said stoutly, determined to find out, if possible, who had betrayed him.
