CLEMSON STUDENTS AGREE TO RETURN Accept Resolution by Parents to End Revolt. Investiga tion Asked. Clemson students who have been in revolt the last two weeks will re turn today and tomorrow if the res elation adopted here yesterday at the indignation meeting held by parents prevails with the students. The resolution favored by the more than 50 parents, guardians or representatives of students does not admit "the full justice" of the reen trance requirements as formulated by the board of trustees, but the stu dents are called upon to return to the college and purge themselves of con tempt. The disciplinary pill which the boys must take in the oath of renew ed allegiance to the college and pledge of obedience? to the rules and regulations is made more palative by a softening clause of reservation put in by the anxious parents. This reads : "It being distinctly understoon by us that while we recommend the re nunciation of a deliberate intent to defy duly constituted authority, we do not recommend nor do we under stand that in so doing they are re nouncing their purpose to protest against what has been shown to be real grievances." Investigation Asked. The resolution also calls for a full investigation at the April meeting of the board of all grievances "which may be filed. Also for a committee to go to Clemson today to urge stu dents to comply with the resolution and reenter. Dr. J. S. Summers of St. Matthews, who presided during thc day, appointed D. W. Robinson, J. P. Derham and George T. Bryant to serve on the committee to meet with the boys at Clemson tomorrow. Because the majority of the mem bers of the board have been named for life came in for some criticism. Senator Banks thought it an anomaly that "the institution should be con trolled by a dead man," referring to the fact that when the college was created a stipulation was that cer tain members of the board of trus tees should serve throughout their lives. It was brought out that seven I are life members and six elective. This criticism of the fact that cer tain members are named for life found echo in a later talk by Dr. Summers. The people were getting tired of such a procedure and the pa Tents would see that there is an im- j provement at Clemson or "VWU see I that Clemson is wiped out. We are going to touch the life trustees and touch them in such a tender spot that they will rectify existing wrongs. We are going to have a president the boys can look up to r.nd respect," he said. A capable leader would have been able to prevent the recent up rising. Had Long Conference. The conference yesterday began at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon and continued until after 6 o'clock, when the resolution was adopted unani mously after an amendment proposed by D. W. Robinson of Columbia to omit the word "full," qualifying justice, had been defeated by a vote of 22 to 30. Just prior to the adop tion of the resolution the dozen or more Clemson students who were present were asked if they would comply with this recommendation or quest, "which was not a command." No student voted in the opposition. The parents then having obtained full consent of the boys to the reso lution, supported it unanimously. Dr. Summers will appointe a com mittee in April. Dr. Riggs yesterday sent a telegram requesting that such a committee be appointed. The re quest for the appointement of such a committee was made through W. D. Barnett of Columbia. trustee and alumnus of Clemson. His suggestion was hearitly approved, although it was not known at the time that such action had been asked by the head of the college, who was subjected to some sharp criticism during the day. The resolution adopted yesterday follows: "The parents and guardians of the students of Clemson college, in'vcon vention assembled in the city of Co lumbia the 19th day of March, 1920, while not admitting the full justice of the reentrance requirements, rec commend as follows: To Return to Stay. "That the students return to and Temain at the college and purge themselves of contempt; it being dis tinctly understood by us that while we recommend the renunciation of a deliberate intent to defy duly consti tuted authorities that in so doing they are renouncing their purpose to protest against what have been shown to be real grievances. "That the authorities allow the co operative committees of the senior, junior sophomore and freshman classes to formulate and file a list of grievances. "That the board of trustees at their next meeting investigate these grievances and correct them as far as possible. "That the student who shall file any grievance, whether such griev ance is proved or disproved, it shall be held against him as an offense. "We further recommend the ap pointment of a committee to repre sent this body at Clemson college on the occasion of the reentrance of the students." The following are the re-entrance requirements as stipulated by the board of trustees, in addition to a signed statement renouncing a de liberate intention of defying consti tuted authority and again subscrib ing to an oath to obey the rules and regulations of the college: Conditions To Be Met. "The board will require of each in dividual of the senior and junior classes who signed the petition, or more properly, ultimatum, heretofore referred'to, to sign and file with the i president of the college for the board of trustees by 11:30 p. m., March 21, unless excused by the president, a written withdrawal of approval of the last papagraph of the document signed by them and filed with the board of trustees. Such members of these classes as have failed or refus ed to file with the president of the college for the board the statement herein required in the time required unless in the opinion of the president unavoidably detained, shall be deem ed to be in a state of insubordination and shall be dropped from the rolls of the college without the privilege of reinstatement at any time in the future. "And such of these classes who do not return in accordance with the terms of their present leave without sufficient excuse, in the opinion of the president of the college, shall be adjudged deserters and dropped from the rolls of the college as such. "Such members of the freshman and sophomore classes who do not re turn by 11:30 p. m., March 21, 1920, shall be adjudged to have violated paragraph 325, cadet regulations, ar.d their names shall be dropped from the rolls of the college." What was apparently most galling to the students was the renunciation of any attempt to defy the constitut ed authorities. This precipitated con siderable debate. H. R. Turner, presi dent of the freshman class, and J. Garvin, a senior, occasionally putting j forward the sensitiveness of the boys to signing the statement that would thus be required. The students did not act hastily, it was pointed out. They were in open rebellion and to sign a statement that they were not defying the authorities would be ad (Continued on Page Three.)
