Alumnus Writes.
The following is a letter ad
dressed to the editor of THE
GAMECOCK from Mr. Broadus
Mitchell, A. B. 13' and former
editorin-chief of The Gamecock.
Mr. Mitchell is now a student at
Johns Hopkins University:
"Editor of The Gamecock -Sir:
The formation at the University
of a group for the study of social
ism is cause for congratulation.
The step can mean a very great
dedl to the institution and to the
State of South Carolina. Dr.
Laidler, in a note to me from
Atlanta, spoke enthusiastically
of th-e prospects for the organi
zation, and appreciated the atti
tude of the University communi
ty as indicated in the cordial re
ception which he had at the
hands of faculty and students.
"It is not necessary that the
members of the club should be
socialists, or that the study pur
sued should lead them to become
socialists, in order that the first
order of benefit may result. The
meetings should aim to develop
an attitude of mind in treating
social problems; they should
show the fallacy of attacking
symptoms rather than causes;
they should exhibit society as an
organism, a unit, a closely re
lated whole, and should dispel
any conception based upon the
belief that people, except in a
limited sphere, act independently
of one another. The tendency,
so obvious everywhere, toward
palliatives rather than basal cor
rectives should be made to as
sume its proper place of a re
stricted and essentially tempo
rary usefulness.
"Especiallyin the South, and in
South Carolina, is the necessity
for .a comprehensive grasp of
social problems apparent. The
recent and striking manifesto, if
I may call it such, of the Uni
versity Race Commission upon
the subject of lynching is an
illustration of the position to
which we are coming. It must
be seen that back of a lynching
lies a social condition highly
pathological - the individual
lynching is merely the tempo
rary eruption of the surface that
indicates the existence of the
fundamental disorder lying be
neath. To this disorder we are
addressing ourselves with more
and more intelligence, knowi
edge, determination and bravery,
andi( with less and less indiffer
(ence and fatal prejudice. And
so it must be with many other
stumbling blocks in the way of
progress for the South.
"Socialism best serves as a back
ground for such thinking. It
may be brought close or allowed
to recede to a distance, but so
long as we. project our social pro
posals agaimst it as a screen, a
new attitude of mind cannot
fail toremet-ge.
"san alumnns anone retin-n
ing his interest in student af
fairs, I wish for the movement
every success, and bespeak for
it the interest and support of
the University community. Nor
can I end this long letter without
making a bow to THE GAMECOCK
and hoping that the paper will
be first in encouragement of all
that the newly inaugurated or
ganization may stand for.
"Very cordially yours,
"Broadus Mitchell."
