Two weeks ago we protested
against the "belief" Of the Able
vile Press and Bonner, that the
STANDARD ofmorality in the South
Carolina College must necessarily
be higher than it is possible for it
to be in an unendowed denomina-
tional college," In reply our friend
says:
Whether we gain friends for the
State University or not, we shall
nevertheless utter what we believe
to be true, and we think it suscepti-
BILE of proof that the boys OF the
State University are in every re-
spect as moral, as honorable, and
possessed of as much true manhood
as the boys at Woford or any other
College.
Certainly. Nobody can object
to our contemporaries believing
that the boys at the State Univer-
sity are as moral, as honorable, and
possessed of as mach true manhood
as the boys of any other school;
what we objected to is the belief
that their standard of morals is
necessarily higher.
