BAD MANAGEMENT. Clemson College Not the Sac cess it Should be. Students, Professors and President Out of Joint?Anticipated Be salte Not Forthcoming. Special to Tbe State. Clemson College, Aug. 15.?It is said that in the meeting of the Board of Trastees of Clemson College, which was held here last night and this morning, Senator Tillman de clared that certain departments of the institution were "a humbug and a farce " President R. W. Simpson, of tbe Board, is said to have supple mented this with the statement that to continue to ion tbe college as it has been run " was to ran it in the ground.7' And so it goes. To the casual observer matters at Clemson are running smoothly enough, and in reply to hie question as to how they are coming on, both professors and students will answer, "?rst class, first class.7' But if be will inquire a little mere carefully, and place himself in a position so that either students or professors will talk freely he wili soon learn that troubles are brewing, which, sooner er later, will work important changes in the management of the institution, and that, in tbe words of one of the ; Trustees, "while there has been a ' great deal of success there has been a great deal of failure." To-visit Clemson College is a reve lation to the average South Caro X liman, who has never seen it before A magnificent main building, of modern design, with a graceful tower reaching high into tbe heavens, crowns the most important hill. Grouped about it are the bar racks for the cadets and several col lege buildings .containing class rooms. Handsome homes for the professors, with well-kept yards, are placed here and there at points ' of vantage, a well appointed hotel occupies an attractive spot, and nestled about, in the beautiful grove of oaks aie tbe smaller buildings of tbc college, each one designed to give the most artistic effect Truly it is a pleasant sight. And should he visit the farm be will find as ! weil cared fcr crops as c?n be found anywhere, showing intelli gent cultivation, and plenty of it. Should be be fortunate enough to get a ride in one of the college *r*?<ms he will be drawn by as fat aud sleek mules as his eyes ever Tested on, and he will wonder if j tbey ever do anything but eat corn, j AU this is very nice, but there is a harmony among the buildings, ! woods and fields and mules, that be : does not find in the management j of the college, for tbe faculty is not harmonious There is no politics in it either, j it is understood that there are j members of the faculty, who at the [ time of their election were classed j as "Tillroanites," and "Auti-Till-j ' mauitee," but in conversation with j these gentlemen now, politics seems j to be forgotten, and the good of Clemson College is the burden of their song. The writer was careful to converse with men supposed form erly to belong to the factions named, but he found them agreeing m sentiment concerning the institu tion, and as far as his observation went, not to mince words further, that President Craigbead is not tbe man for his place, that the mechani cal department is a "humbug and a farce*7 and that almost as much can be said of the agricultural depart ment To the visitor, President Craig bead is all that could be expected of the president of a college He i is pleasing in his address and courteous in hie manners, but there are students and professors cou- j nected with the college who say j that he is not efficient, and that he ' is not at all qualified for the presi dency of an agricultural and mechac- j icarcollege. It will be remembered! that a number of students petitioned the board of trustees to remove President Craighead about eighteen months ago It is now said that the matter was washed over, but the issues involved were not settled WJjelher the matter will be revived again or not cannot be stated but if, there ever were any reasons why the ? President should have been removed those reasons remain. The mechanical department is said to be under the management of the most incompetent instructors of any ; department of the college, and tbe opinion seems to be that a boy wastes his time when he puts it in I that department. One person went ! so far as to say that there was not a ; student in the highest class who couid cut threads on a screw, and it j was doubtful whether all of them knew the difference between a bolt ? and a nut The agricultural department is said to need sadly the presence of a worthy successor to Professor New- I man. Associate Professor McGee is said to be a very fine man, and one of general information, and his man agement of the farm is said to be ad mirable, but there is no one to take the place of Professor Newman, who his friends claim, was sacrificed for President Craighead. A joke is told on one of the stu dents of the agricultural department that when asked which was the best fertilizer, kainit, or silo (a hole in the ground) he replied that he did not know ? The boys in both of these depart ments are said to be generally very much dissatisfied with their progress, but are powerless to help themselves. On very good authority it is stated j that the board of trustees recognize the shortcomings of the institution, but are disposed to shoulder a large i part of the blame themselves It is j understood that the meeting of the board was a stormy one, and that it was said by some member that the trustees always left matters in such a muddled condition that the president could not be blamed for not conduct ing the institution as it should be. Things got so hot that the board of control of the experiment station, consisting of Trustees D. K. Norrie, M. L Donaldson and J. ?. Bradley, resigned, and so did Messrs. Bowen, Bradley and Simpson, of the execu tive committee. There was a fight against the acceptance of these resig nations, but they were accepted, aud a disposition was shown to abolish the two committees, and put the re sponsibility of management upon the whole board. This was opposed, and it was urged that if a small body of men could not attend properly to their duties, the board of trustees as a whole would not do so. There is said to have been a considerable feel ing shown, and the board of trustees is said not to be any more harmoni ous than the faculty and students. The attendance has fallen off con- j eiderable from what it was at first. Just before the main building was burned there were nearly six hundred boys in attendance. The command ant's books now show only 297. In this connection it might be said that Commandant Fuller speaks very highly of the boys, saying that they are a well behaved and gentlemanly set of fellows. Captain Fuller speaks very highly of the class of work done by his predecessor, Lieut. Donaldson, who, he says, worked marvels with what must have been raw material. Capt. Fuller says that he hopes that the board of trustees will see their way clear to make some needed im provements in the mess hall?new furniture, table cloths and napkins, being very badly needed. The smaller attendance is not look ed upon as a disadvantage, but rather an advantage, as the boys can be more carefully trained, and are not so cramped for quarters as formerb. It cannot be denied that a great deal of money has been spent on the institution, first and last, but there is a great deal to show for it3 What the total is, the writer cannot state now. but the treasurer's books show the following amounts to have been received during the past scholastic year : From the Morell fund, $19,500 From the Hatch Fund, 15,000 Privilege tax fund, 30,000 Special appropriation, 35,000 Clemeon bequest. 3,500 Land script, 5,700 Total, $99,700 These figures may not be absolutely correct, as they were given from memory by the secretary, but within a few dollars they are correct. Ten thousand dollars or more of the special appropriation was used iu rebuilding the main building The exact amount cannot be stated, but the board of visitors congratulated itself that the estimate it made last year that would be needed to rebuild the main building in addition to the insurance money, was approximately correct, and ten thousand dollars was the estimate made by them A tuition fee of $40 ie provided for, but none was paid during the last year. Receipts from this source do not show iu the above statement. It has been found that the plan of working the students on the farm was not satisfactory, and thirty coirvicts are now employed to do this work. These convicts are kept constantly | employed, and the good condition of! the crops show their efficiency. Another reason given for not em- \ ploying the boys this year was that there was no money to pay them A trustee is authority for this state ment, but it is hard to see where bo much money has gone.
