Others Sbould Share the Blame.

The columbia outrage" as it is
termed by some of the newspapers
that are condemning General Watts
for the deplorable affair which oc-
Cured on the college green IS
doubled in our opinion by the IN
temperate speech of DR.. Woodrow,
the dean of the faculty. We feel sorry
for General Watts in his unfortunate
and awkward predicament, which we
must think was the result of a mis-
understanding, but we cannot ap-
prove, and must condemn the incen-
diary speech delivered to the college
boys by DR.. Woodrow. His speech
will do harm. Those who know any
thing about college boys will admit
that they very often place themselves
in a position to cause misun-
derstandings, and as a rule they are
not s:lnnocents," " especially where any
derilment can be kicked up. We have
read about the unfortunate affair, and
even talked to parties in Columbia
where the feeling is very much divl.
ded, and we have come to the con-
clusion that General Watts should
not be l=ld solely responsible, e,at least,
until the conduct of the boys has
been investigated and they are found
to have been entirely blameless in the
matter. We further think the news
papers have been entirely too severe
on General Watts; that while he may
have been indiscreet, yet when it is
remembered that the Colonel Of the
regiment informed him he had per-
mission to use the grounds, allow
ences should be made for misun-
derstanding. We are glad, however,
that an inquiry is to made by legal
ly constituted body and men who
will listen to the evidence and render
a verdict in accordance with their
conscientious convictions, regardless
of the clamoring of the newspapers
and excited professors.
