C. 1 ^-Published every Wednesday at 82 n year In advance. Wednesday, April 8 1908. Forther Trouble ?t deration. The following comments on the rcc ut disturbance at Clemson College are ihe expressions of tbt editor, without In tbe least Involving lbs oplnloa of ttie owners of tbe paper. If there is any apparent vagueness in tbe article in placing tbe responsibility for disturbances between the Board of Trustees and the Faculty or Discipline Committee, none is Intended. It is believed tbat tbe Board has done its duty as It has seen it.and the highest I regard personally Is entertained for the ability and Integrity of the men who compose It. As we understand, the facts are substantially these. < The authorities, whoever they may be, | "warned" the boys against performing any "April fool" tricks, wltb an implied threat of punishment for disregard of the "warning." ! The boyB, as might bave been expected under the circumstances, did not restrain themselves. They absented themselves from class on "April Fool" day. For an outing they spent the day in Pendleton, a short way off. Tbe discipline committee, composed of the President, the Commandant, and the beads of departments, did not even attempt to apportion tbe blame In a case where it Is Impossible that all the blame should be on one side. Without taking Into consideration any of tbe causes that led up to tbe dlsobedlenoe to college laws, tbe bovs were dismissed from the college, and that die- 1 missal is presumed to prevent any of tbe boys so dismissed from entering tbe classes of any other college. The extreme penalty oi 1 college discipline was administered. The college laws provide no greater punishment for kicking the president la the back, or knocking him In tbe bead with an J axe, than was inflicted because of the boys absence from college one day. If tbe boys 1 had kicked the trustees over the l<-nc? and 1 out Into the public road, ihe college couid uot 1 hive Inflicted greater punlsbm"at. Ofct urse ' the boys in this latter Instance would have 1 been accountable to the State laws, but tbe college laws neglected to mufee provision 1 atcalnst boys kicking the profess'ors and trus- I tees out Into the roa J. That there Is to our mind incompetency or Inefficiency among the authorities at CI Vinson, tbe disturbance clearly proves. The proof was furuis'aed a ye.ir ago, but the trustees took no note of I'., and dismissed neither tbe president nor any professor. The fact that the Faculty "warned" the boys Is proof conclusive to our mind, that the person or persons responsible for the "warning" should resign, or If he or they do not resign, the duty of tbe trustees Is plain. ? It may be said to be a slander on the young men of the State to charge that the boys of Clemson are unruly. They are as good young men as any In the State; and with the proper men In charge of them and the Institution, they will be as orderly and as circumspect as t are the boys In other colleges where tbe ? numbers far exceed the numbers In Clem> * son. 1 Yale, Harvard, Leland-Stanlord are each r credited with oyer 1,000 students.

Insubordination on the part of ooilej boys can furnish but one Indlsputab testimonial, and disorderly oonduot Is pro< that canDot be gainsaid. Competent men i the bead of Clemson College will comman that respect that would restrain the boj from violating the college rules. If, for instance, the person, or persons, wb ire responsible for the "warning" had take mother tact th^.n that of issuing orders an oalrlnrv on Imnllod thrfiaf vhlnh mlffh some from a tyrant, the result might ha> i>een different. If the "warning" of lUelf was not sugge :lve of evil doing on the part of the boys, tb President, or other person responsible for e: jitlng the evil that Is in boys, as well i n older men, hal appealed to their betti aature, and had asked the b >ya in a prop< Banner, to respe)t the ruH55 of the colleg ind to av i I viola'Ions of decorum, do yo lelleve tii^l ther3 would ba/e been anal lentee at roll call In the c asses? Or, If It President had kuowa thit there was a gene il desire for a rest day, then a better mam jer of young men would have yielded. Bu t seems that; somebody had it in for tb joys who wanted to show their authority. By Issuing humiliating orders to thee .bonghtiess or impulsive boys gave the pre essors the right to set their ponderous her 1 >u the necks of the boys. That course ooul esultonly in one way. CjI lege professor need not "warn" or bully young gentlemei rne boys that have been so mistreated ai is good, as honorable, and as manly as ai he professors where the proof ia so clear thi K att ln?lr Ihn oKlUft? tn fill !h i n' anaa arhln .bey bold Id oollege, and for the payment i whose salaries tbe people are taxed. Tbe constant disturbance at Clemson evidence as clear as tbe noon day sun tba somebody beside tbe boys should be gotte nut of Clemson. And If the Legislature i the State Is true to tbe people, tbat body wl see that this perennial row at Clemson sha :ease. Let tbe law-making power of lb State take such control as will secure a cox petent management of that great lnstltuMoc When there Is expressed a doubt as to wb controls Clemson, tbat doubt proves that tb College needs more competent men at 11 oead. The boys will average up to the bes If they have a competent leader. Leniency may be properly exerolsel tc ward boyish Indiscretion, but official locon psteucy Is quite another thing and need more stem discipline than. Is accorded I tboDgbtless young gentlemen. In tbe signed statement of the Juniors, the say "the punishment reoelved was just rbe Press and Banner makes no such admle jlon and denies with all possible vobemenc tbe correctness of tbat statement. Tbe pni Isbment was not Just. For severity, It I unprecented, and It Is enough to outrage lb setter sense of the public. Tbe president and the professors who ma bave been responsible for the boys laok < personal respect for them should have bee dismissed. The wrong persons were sent homo.

According to the rules of tbe lnslltutloi dismissal means tbat tbe person dlsmlsse ,y from tbe college cannot return even In late 0f years. Aooordlng to an understanding wit tbe varloas colleges and military Institution 0 In Hie state a student dismissed from on school oannot enter another school utiles tbere are some extenuating circumstance and then It is left entirely with the author ties of the college to which admittance 1 asked. It li bard even to conjecture what dlsposl ~ tlon the discipline committee will uuke ii tbe cases of tbe Sophomores and Freshman There Is a disposition among tbe members c tbe discipline commlitee to be more lemen upon these lower claSBmen, In tbat the: believe they were coerced by the members o tbe Junior olass. It Is believed, bowevei tbat a number and possibly a very larg number, of tbem will receive their dlsmlssu 0 ciders from the college. The lndlvidua ? excuses and circumstances around each cade Is being taken into consideration by tbi e members of tbe committee. a The order published at the formation thl morning oaliing for tbe SO cadets to report ti Commandant Minus also provided tbat tbi r* members of the Sophomore and Freshmer i- classes report to their rooms under closc e arrest.
