14 THE CLINTON CHHONICLB Clinton, 8. C H Th\ir«day, December 1, I960 ,Girard Case One of the most significant court casts in U. S. history may soon be de- cfcf|8^Jqrth* Supreme Court. Girard College was named after a French sail* or jirho came to the United States and made a fortune. He died in 1881 and left a will which established a col lege for “poor, white orphans, between the ages of six and ten years.” Some years ago the N.A.A.C.P. at tempted to break the terms of the will, contending terms of admission consti tuted illegal discrimination. The col lege won the first court test. Another approach (through a federal court) Was utilized and a federal judge re cently ruled that the Philadelphia col lege must admit Negro students. The case is to be appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court and the decision may affect every private school in the na tion. For, in effect, what a federal judge ruled recently was that the pri vate college cannot discriminate in ad missions. Among the questions the case brings to a head is whet er wills can be broken. Can one still select his ben eficiary or beneficiaries? Can one, in other words, discriminate in his will— as has been the universal practice. Can the courts break the terms fif the will of one who intentionally and specifically designated who should be admitted to the college his bequest founded? If they can force admission of another race, can they not force ad mission of females? It seems to many that federal regulation of. individuals and private organizations has already been extended to considerable lengths “C’s” them- th«y brought home a faw selves. ' * All students can’t be geniuses. And even if (hey could, it wouldn’t always be .e.vldeht'early (e. i. Einstein and Churchill)..An average student should make average grades. ' -j THE AMERICAN WAT ‘It Won’t Happen’ v.th' Jffelt^ing about accidents that kill bthtfr.People, we are apt to dismiss the matter with a careless, “It won’t hap pen tomer” Maybe not, but just the same, it might be a good idea to remember that the-vtettnv of the fatal accident was just-as confident before the accident and as irrevocably dead afterward.

Penfield Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts During the Trojan W r ar, the Greeks besieged Troy for 10 years without success. Finally they built a huge wooden horse and hid soldiers in it. Then they boarded their ships and sailed away. The Trojans, thinking the horse was a peace offering, decided to drag it inside the walls of the city and celebrate. / But Laocoon, their priest. warned them not to, saying, “I fear the Greeks, even when they bear gifts.” The wooden horse was dragged into the city. That night the soldiers slipped out and opened the gates to the Greeks, who had returned under the cover of darkness. Laocoon’s words, paraphrased as “beware Greeks bearing gifts,” became common admoni tion to be on guard against treachery. FARMS and FOLKS program or a current event.
