CLEMSON COLLEGE AFFAIR-BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO MEET JINE 8. Thc entire Sophomore Class at Clemson College, numbering seventy six students, on Tuesday, April 20, rebelled against the decision of the faculty in awarding punishment to one of their class, and left thc college in a body for their homes. The facts leading up to this affair do not con vince one that the faculty were with out blame, nor do they incline one very much to the opinion that the class should bc reinstated. No violation of a clearly defined rule should bc tolerated nor go unpunish ed, but rules should be permanent and uniform, and above all promul gated, they should prescribe a punishment commensurate ?villi thc offense. Cadet Tliornwell was reported by Dr. Bracket, instructor in chemistry, for taking without permission four test tubes, used for making experi ments in chemistry. These tubes were not removed from the labratory but to ThornwcH's desk only a short distance from the case in which they were kept. Thornwell was not placed under arrest but summoned thc next day before the faculty and questioned. Ho admitted he took the tubes, but olaimcd he did not know he was vio lating a rule. Shortly after tbe meet ing he was informed that he was sus pended until next September. A meeting of the class followed and a paper drawn up and signed by every one of the seventy-six members to the effect that none thought tue taking of the tubes as Thornwell did, moving them to his desk from the case only, was any more a violation of rules than taking acids needed, which was per mitted without objection, ami asking the faculty to reconsider its decision. This paper was sent in to the Presi dent, who later informed the class that what he preferred was an expres sion from tho class as to whether they thought Thornwell would be guilty of theft. A paper to this effect was then prepared and signed by most if uot all of the class and handed in. On the following Monday the faculty met again, after which it was announced that they would not change their firBt decision. In thc meantime, meetings of thc Senior, Junior and Freshman Classes were held and resolutions adopted ex pressing sympathy with tho Sopho more, but it is not thought by some, in a position to know, that there was any thought on the part of these classes to leave the college. Their efforts were directed solely to influ encing the faculty to rescind their de cision. There was no agreement or understanding between them to leave, ns has been Btated in other accounts. Immediately after the faculty let it be known that they would not change their decision, a paper agreeing to quit the college was circulated among the members of thc Sophomore Class and signed by sixty-niue of them. Five declined to sign it and two wcro not permitted to sign it. And this brings in another fact which must be stated. A day or two after Thornwell was suspended two of the class, Kell and Cheatam, were discovered with chemical appliances in their rooms and placed under arrest, ami their cases are now pending before the faculty. These cadets were not per mittcn to sign the agreement ID leave the college, because these were oases where the appliances had been re moved from thc labratory to their rooms, which was a violation of a well understood rule, and thc rebelling class was unwilling to place them selves in the position of >r. net toning the violation of a uniform rule with which all were familiar. Non.-ul' the classes denied the justice of punish, ment tn these case:. The class stales that it was custo mary for l ti o class to take appliances to their desks as Thornwell ?lid in the class room, in making experiments, and deny that notice was given that the next offender would be severely dealt with as claimed by the faculty. At the same time, it is a clearly un derstood rule that at the beginning of the session each member of this class is furnished with necessary appliances for the" study of chemistry and they are chartred against them, and if not accounted for at the close of the ses sion, the student is required to pay for them. No member of the Sopho more Class will deny this, and it would seem to follow that Thornwell's act was a violation of rule; otherwise how could an account of these appli ances be kopi and proper entries bc made against thc students? Tho whole matter appears to narrow down to a question of veracity between thc students and tho faculty. The faculty insists that the rule was made and duly promulgated. Thc class claims that ii* there was such a rule th? y did not know of it and ?hat ii was ?ot uni form, as appliances were constantly moved from the case to tho desk 'lur ing recitation a> did J'hornwell in this instance and without objection. An investigation by thc Board of Trustees would probably bc a good idea. It could do no harm and wouH doubtless result io permanency and uniformity of rules, a promulgation of same which would furnish no oppor tunity for a plea of ignorance and an award of punishment commensurate ? with thc offense. Hut it is no light task to govern OOO or u'00 students; correct discipline must bc rigidly enforced; no other course is safe, and when mis understandings arise between faculty and students, the faculty should bc given the benefit of the doubt by those undertaking to pass judgment. iii thc light of all thc facts, it is difficult to see how the rebelling class can be reinstated without changes in thc faculty, and there does not appear to be sufficient grounds for this. On the other hand, it is not difficult to sec that one act of insubordination, successfully carried through, lead easily to others and to ultimate ruin. This class must have been aware of the fact that their proper course be fore quitting college was to appeal to thc Hoard of Trust?es. This was not done, and it would seem that in igno ring this provision, they overstepped thc opportunities to redress any griev ances they may have had in the de cision of the faculty suspending, Thornwell. Nevertheless, in order to fix the blaine where it belongs and to settle thc matter definitely, there should bc a meeting of the Hoard of Trustees at an early a day as possible. Since writing the above a telegram fr^m Col. H. W. Simpson, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, has been re ceived, announcing that the Board has been called to meet Thursday evening ou the 8th inst, to consider this recent trouble.
