Clem j colle AS TO HOLDING T?0 OFFICES i m m of se The Newberry Herald and News CI en commends The Record for our activity u and in tiio matter of persons holding more than one office, and naively asks defin what we think of Senator Johnstone whic ana Governor Manning doing the TEE same thing. The Record believes that! | well these gentlemen referrd to hav a le - ... .J CI gai rig.u to act as "ine trustees <ji | 1 ?o r t the estate of Thos. G. Clemson and in tees that capacity be members of the coltile lege board. But as to the propriety are ( cf it that is a delicate question. Personally we do Dot approve of Clem- 11 com] Foil's trustees sil.irg in the legisiat f Vi o f ture where oth er State colleges mayl'1"' ! of tt not be representd.?Columbia Recsclio crd. forfc If member of the board of trustees acce and president or the board is not a , , of r< Position ur.aer tl-:s State then why Tl should the board make report to the ute legirlature? If you are to differenpren ^ - i?. ^ ^ ? ? /V Vv /N * rt /N VI f ^ /\ r? A naie ueiween me xuciuucicj auu muoc the elected bv the legislature wny not let S. C the life members refrain from making A1 report to the legislature and let only one the elected members make the report? _ , . hold But we see that you agree with us . bers that the trustees of all the colleges er o should not sit in the legislature bestitu cause they will be called upon to lg- ^ Care islate about matters affecting tile in- ^ stitutions over which they preside, and and naturally will be inclined to fasom( ivor mattrs pertaining to their in- ^ stitutions, and be thoroughly honest ^iinc and conscientious in so doing. We have seen it and heard it on the floor ^ of the house. sajd Certainly it is against the statute rajse 3a w of the State for those elected to wouj exercise the duties without first tak- j jars ing the oath of office and receiving That their commission. ^ As to the governor we think he njne 9 should be a member ex officio of the j Clemson board, just as he is of the j other boards, if the State has anything respC at all to do with Clemson. But ^he ^efor should not be a member by election now or appointment under the Clemson aj| p Since the matter is under discussion berrJ suppose we take a look at the statute or law and the decisions of the supreme . wiii -court on the subject. w^ek If the decisions of the supreme court sencj do not hold that Clemson is a Stat* :g ^ institution, and, therefore, that a trusteeship, whether by election or a life ruan member under the Clemson will, is a us ^ position under the State, then what do lar < they bold? Clemson could not be specj sued, because it was a State institu- ^opg tion. If it is a State institution, then ^Gca; is not a trusteeship of the institution ^ a position under the State? ancj Section 649 of the Code of 1912, Vol. !m? j Pa> 1, provides as follows: | ^ It shall be unlawful for any person Ljjop to assume the duties of any public of-U^e* lice until he has taken the oath pro-j ?0 na vided by the constitution, and been j mem regular!?* commissioned by the gover- a nor. The term "public officers" shall ment 'be construed to mean all officers of That the State that have heretofore been subs( commissioned, and trustees of tlie Tft- hold, rioiis rollers of the State members o fr-: of various State boards, dispensary an(j ^ constables, and other persons whose and < duties are defined by law. part This statute has been before the su- whic! preme court in the case of Sanders v. scrip JBelue, 78 S. C., 171, in which case they it held that a superintendent of a poor first house was an officer within the mean- be d< ing of the constitution and statute. easy Tnere is no doubt of the fact that an ei the trustees of Winthrop, The Citadel :ihl a and the Uni-ersiry of South Carolina ~Id7( come within the statute, for they are ,j0 "trustees of the various colleges of the State.'' Since the case of Hopkins v. <ph Clemson Agricultural college, ihere is work and can be no doubt but that the trustees of that institution, both life and Thi elective, come within the provisions lie c of that statute. This case is reported 'iquo in 77, S. C., 12 and holds that Clemson all tl college belongs to the State of South and Carolina; that the hoard of trustees, on tl 13 of them) are agents of the | task to enforce the la and that for this reason, a suit I sale of it.
