The college is within the bounds of our presby tery and we therefore feel that it is natural for it to seem especially near to us. We assure the board of our hearty approval of ther election of! Dr. B. L. Parkinson to the presidency. Because the Presbyterian college is dear to us there are a few matters which we are constrained to speak of to the board. There are some tenden cies at the college upon which it would be well for the board to express or re-express itself. Definite board action at this time, we believe, would greatly assist the incoming president and make it easier for him to make muth needed changes in the college life. The matters to which we refer are Whitmire-Clinton-Greenwood Bus . Schedule Effective September 15 First Trip Leave ‘ - >i, Arrive Whitmire .... 9:60 A. M. Clinton ....' Clinton 9:45 A. M.

C. to the ideals of a church institution or yield their position in college There is one other matter which 1 reaches beyond the responsibility of the fraternities. When the student body banquets, (the Pan-Hellenic and. I the Junior-Senior) are held at the col- j lege, the out-of-town girls are enter- 1 tained in one cf the college dormitor- j ies. This, of course, makes the college j | responsible for them during their stay jin the city. Before one of these ban quets the. press of the state carried, n the announcement of the banquet and ; B stated that in connection with the 1 ; event, arrangements had been made j for a series of dances. These events ! I were duly carried out as per announce ment. Technically, these dances were not put on by the college or by a col- 1 lege student. However, the girls were. permitted to attend from the college dormitory the night following the ban- J quet, the next afternoon and next | night. Had these girls been entertain-; ed in many of the Christian homes in Clinton this could not have been per- i ' mitted. ! Upon the testimony of the police, there is some drinking a^ these, dances and on the campus. We realize that much of this is carried on as a college o prank, yet it ought to be checked if possible. We feel that extra effort and if need be extra expense should be put forth to stop the bringing of intoxicated liquors to the campus by unscrupulous and profit-seeking men. These conditions having existed for the past few years and if anything j seem to be getting worse, the Presby tery of South Carolina would there fore respectfully petition and implore the board of trustees of the college: 1. To take such official action as to! put a stop to dancing in the fraternity '• halls, both on the campus and in town.! i 2. That the board take decisive steps # I » against the going of young women to these men’s clubs except when accom- A panied by chaperones who have been t approved b> the faculty committee on fraternities. ! 3. That special effort be put forth to protect the campus from those who would gain personal profit at the cost of the souls of our young men, and that no social activities of the college be allowed to be commercialized by individual students, organizations of students or outsiders. / By order of presbytery, H. Waddell Pratt, Stated Clerk. In response to this overture the fol lowing resolution was adopted by the * 1 board of trustees of the Presbyterian college of South Carolina on May 30, 1927. ; —e.—^ ' "Resolved: That the board of trus tees of the. Presbyterian college of South Carolina hereby express its dis approval of dancing on the campus; ^! of young ladies visiting the fraternity I halls unchaperoned; and the commer- cializatoin of social activities of stu- j dents. the enemy seemed to the ordinary French spectator—to whom a trip of; < 100 miles is a thing to plan for months and talk about for years—almost un precedented and undreamed of occur rence.
