sent to the board of trustees of the e P em r »
Presbyterian college, the following:
We, cf South Carolina presbytery
wish to assure the board of our deep
interest in the caiNe of Christian ed
ucation and especially in our Presby
terian, college in Clinton. 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.

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

approval of dancing on the campus;
