"Shocking" Drawings Cause President Howard Hodgkins to Ban College Paper, Jan. 3, 1922

“The Ghost,” a publication of the students at George Washington University, Washington, D.C., which has shocked not only President Howard L. Hodgkins and noted women club leaders at the Capital has been banned by the college head, but not before 200 copies of the paper had been sold. The president was amazed when he received his copy and glanced over it. On the cover was a drawing of a young lady who was anything but modest. But on the inside such pictures as Modern Egypt and the Peeling of the Belles made the president gasp for breath. However, the board of spirits which edits the publication are indignant over the president’s ban, and they say that The Ghost is no snappier than Froth, the Punchbowl and other college publications. The above photographs show the cover of The Ghost, to which exception was taken, and below is Miss Winifred De Vote, artist student, whose spicy pictures on the inside pages shocked President Hodgkins.

From The Wilmington Morning Star, Jan. 3, 1922. Interesting that the newspaper decided to run the "shocking" photo in the newspaper.
