Governor Discredits Sanborn Charges
"while I am not yet prepared to issue a formal statement regarding the results of our investigation of the manner in which the recent influenza emergency at the State College was handled, I feel safe in saying that the charges made by Mr. R. S. Sanborn were not all justified by the facts. From the evidence of parents who were in Pullman during the epidemic and the testimony of a large number of local people who were in close touch with the situation I am convinced that, considering the suddenness and gravity of the emergency, it was met and handled in a very satisfactory manner...."
"Ernest Lister, Governor"
