The Chronicle takes this opportunity to express its appre- |
ciation to the business linns and line citizens of Camden who
have made the church pane, beninninn with this issue, possible.
It is not remiss that in these troubled times we turn to
Christianity as the only solution to the perplexing problems
confronting the bewildered peoples of an unhappy world.
DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE
As stated in last week's issue of the Chronicle, we are
publishing in this issue the complete report that resulted from
an investigation of Winthrop College made by the American
Association of College professors. This report was made in
f 19 12 and was published in the April, 1942,-issue of the IH'FliKTlN,
the off'iciaPorgan of that society.
This report has been copied exactly as it appeared in the
RCLldTlTN and no alterations nor omissions have been made.
In order that sonic of our readers will understand this
text we will explain here that:
*(1) The troubles at Winthrop were brought to a head
by the dismissal of several teachers from the faculty, apparently
without rhyme or reason. Two of these teachers that
were tired were members of the American Association of College
Professors and thus this society made the investigation to
determine the causes or charges that were made against their
members.
(2) 'In making the investigation they found this practice
to be one that had existed over a long period of time at
Winthrop. and that numerous teachers had been given the
"pink slip" for no reason?other than internal and external
politics. They found, at the same time, other conditions existing
at the college that should not exist ( or be allowed) in a
well ordered educational institution. W hen these tilings vvro
made known, other investigations followed and resulted in
Winthrop s loss of rating in various educational associations;
also expulsion from some of these bodies.
( ">) The conditions set forth in this report have not yet
been corrected, alter almost two years, and the fate and rating
of the college are .still hanging in the balance.
Thus, we are bringing the whole report, just as it was
made, to tiie atti nto-n of tie- people of South Carolina. Those
who are interested in the w i 1.; 11' e i 'i I the State College 1 o r women
are urgently requested to read this text in it-- entirety.

Af'er the Committees arrival on

he declined to meet with the Committee
to discuss the case and demanded
to know "by what authority It

of his faculty and "nummoned" theiu

Dean of tho College, could not bo

effort# wer? made. Tbe Coiumtttoo
was Informed that he had loft town
shortly after Ha arrival Of the two
TruateoH who lived in Hock Hill, one
wmh ill and tho other declined to aee
the CVnniuittoe. The Trustees had
held a meeting the day la-fore the
Coiniulttoo arrived, and were reported
to have agreed not to noe the Committee
When the Trustee who had
declined an Interview was asked to
confirm or deny thin report, he made
thought It would bo uhoImhi* to seek
no direct answer, but stuted t\iat he
interviews.

During Its visit in Hock 11 ill the
Couitulttee Interviewed -I persons,
mostly members of tho faculty. Four
alumnae were interviewed at theii
?>w u request. No students were in
iervtew ed. Since its visit the Com
mil lee has hold several other interviews
and has received a considerubh
number of letters from alumnae gud
from former members of the fjvculty
(Mi the basis of this accumulation of
facts unit opinions the Committee offers
this report.
rursuant to the Association's regitl.4i
procedure a tentative report of
jih-? inva-stigation was sent on March
PI, I !t tu, to President Phelps. Dr.
I Macdonald, and Dr. Harris for correction
of possible factual errors and
lominont to tin1 (.-ltd that "if publication
should eventuate, the report published
will be factually accurate." Dr.
Macdonald and Dr. Harris responded
promptly to this invitation to assist
ni the verification of facts. After a
Hp-lay of three weeks, and ill reply to
:t telegram from the (letierttl Secretary,
Presicdnt Phelps wrote on April
s as follows:
"Ill-plying to your telegram of
March 31. received during my absence
icoin my office. 1 have at present no
comment to make."
(On account of the high state of
nervousness and apprehension exhibited
by many witnesses, the Committee
has thought it wise throughout this
.port to avoid the use of names as
fai- as possible and to use only the
npisi ufine pronoun in referring to
anid.-nt il'ied witnesses.)

with thtfe^rnombf rs? of the Hoard of
Trustees inbrder to clarify her status
on the .faculty of the College. Th'se
(three Trustees consenitil to talk with
I her, received her cordially, and listened
to her politely. No ono of them
warned her that in coming to them
she might he considered as violating
the By-Law which was subsequently
I invoked by President Phelps to justify
I her dismissal. On June 3. 1911. President
Phelps wrote to Dr. Cacdonald
as follows:
' You arp hereby notified that in regard
to electing a t otic her for next
year, for the teaching position which
you held last year, the lit cision of the
Board was deferred until an adjourned
meeting of the Board.
"This decision will be made after
the Board has had sufficient time to
consider fully and reach a decision
regarding your own violation of the
By-Laws of the College . . . your
individual visits to the members of
the Board not going hrough the
President of the College."
Tlve By-Law (Chapter II. Section
in i was then quoted as follows:
j "He (the President! shall he the
organ of communication between the
i Faculty and the Beard of Trusties,
and betwM-n the College and the public.
All official communications and
tekuests, addressed to the Board,
shall be made through the President."
In this letter President Phelps in\
