James Shepherd Recovering from Three-Story Fall, March 26, 1925

Shepherd Better After Fall

James Shepherd, senior in the University, son of S. Brown Shepherd of Raleigh, is recovering from the injuries caused by his fall from the third floor of the Steele dormitory last week. Finding the door of his second-story room locked, the student lowered himself from the third story by a trunk rope. The rope broke and he fell to the ground. His hip and two wrists were broken. For several days it was feared that he might be seriously and permanently injured.
