Next to tihe ta riff 'bill, the ship

One of the first "pOilts" Imiade -by
the Turks for the peace table at Laus
sane wis that the deliberations should
be open to the piblic; that the news
Papers should be given free access to
all the meetings. It the Turk has
nothing to hIde, why should the other

COLLH'GE, ATHIJETICS
Tle address of Pres. Riggs, of Clem
son College, at Greenville several days
ago in which lie sounded a warning
against the dominating influence of
athletics in colleges appears to us
as the -first noticeable sign of an ap
proaching convulsion in athletics in
the state. Dr. Riggs has taken possi
bly uore interest ill athletics than any
college uresident. in the state or in the
south and when It( lets it he known
that ho views the rising tide of ath
letics .,ith some alarm it is evident
that some changes are likely to take
p lace.
There is a wide diversity of opinion,
"ven aiong ardent advocates of ath
leUcs, as to the value of the ipresent
systemn of athletics in our colleges. To
tho most ardent. advocates, however, it
must appear plain that the athletic en
thusiasn has been allowed too ntclh
[ree play in places and that so inuch
tin! and thought is being devoted to
the teams by their members and stu
dent, supporters that the real obj ect
of student life is being partly lost.
sight of.
To our mind a great danger to result
from .present. practices of some col
leges lies in the encouragemen. of the
idea of trickery and evasion. It is an
acepted fact that athletes iti sonme
colleges are being given remuneration
in indirect ways. While we cannot
find fatilt Iwith a boy for openly ac
copting -ay to attend any college if
hie so desires, still when athletic rules
foild suich practice and It is done
under cover, the student body general
ly is aware of it. and must necessarily
though unconsciously be impressed by
it. The ideal of winning, right or
wronig, is not one that the colleges can
afford to teach.
Intercollegiate athletics, .when car
ied on with high ethical Ideals, is a
fine thing for the colleges and for the
bloys themselves. But, whieni athletics
overshadow the class-room and when
* dou-btful menans are resoltedl to in or
der to put out a winninug team, a daln
ger' ooinlt is reached. Ir itis haui'
