TRUSTEES MUST MEET.
A Wholesale Rebellion at Clemson is
Narrowly AVerted.

A telephone message from Clemson
college Thursday afternoon said that
everything was quiet there but there
was good deal of excitement this
morning. The junior and freshmen
classes met last night and resolved to
leave the college this morning in
a body unless the faculty called for a
meeting of the trustees and had the
entire sophomore class including
Cadet Thornewell reinstated.
The college authorities got wind
of what was going on and got Col.
e. w. Simpson, the chairman OF
the board of trustees, to deliver a
talk to the students in one OF the
class rooms. Ccl. Simpson reasoned
with them and finally persuaded them
to defer action until the trustees held
a meeting and took action. 1t is
stated that there will not be special
meeting of the trustees, but that their
next regular meeting will be held early
in June. Col. Simpson has great
deal Of influence with the students.
The outbreak at Clemson, it ap-
pears to those conversant with the
facts, is the elimination Of a trouble
which has been brewing ever since the
opening of the present session and
possibly longer. The students are
very bitter against certain members OF
the faculty and openly charge them
with vascillation and inconsistency
and unfairnesS in enforcing discipline.
This feeling is not confined to few
students but practically the entire
student body is involved.
Col. Simpson. aided by other cool
heads. has succeeded in diyerting
further trouble for the present, but
the matter is no yet ended and it
will require a very thorough inyestlga-
tion by the trustees to satisfactorily
settle the difficulty.

! The following is the text Of the
complaint by the sophomore class:
! To the Faculty and President of Glenn
! soH College:
I Tie sophomore class has asked fol
& reconsideration Of Cadet ThOrnwe!ls S
case, and we herewith present our rea-
! sons.
Our action is based upon the belief
: that We consider Cadet Thornwells
punishment greater than his otfense
deserves. For example, it is obvious
that the faculty Goes not consider
Cadet Thonwell'S olTenSe the same as
that of stealing. else they would have
expelled him. If not stealing, we con-
slider that his punishment should not
be made SO much Severer than that
inflicted for similar ofTenses.
Cadet Thornwell only took the test
tubes for use in the laboratory with
out the professors permission. We
can cite no case Of exact parallel. We
do know. however. that two years ago
when bottles and chemicals were taken
from the laboratory, not even were re-
ports entered against the boys IN
whose rooms they were found. In
cases where property taken from the
mess hall is found in the Students
possession, the penalty is not SuSpen-
sion. but only ten dement's.
In both of these instances we con-
slider the offense evidently worse than
that of Cadet Tho,nwell, inaSmuch as
the articles taken were for private use,
and not for class work.
Cadet Thornwell is not guilty Of an
unusual or peculiar crime. He simp-
ly did what has been the practice Of
the entire class during its course in
chemistry.
We, therefore, believe that the fac
ulty laboring under the misunderStand-
ing, or has been led to regard with
great seriousness an offense which has
not been so regarded in the past.
We appreciate the position Of the
faculty. when it takes the stand that
the college should be protected. But
we Go not believe that this position
should be maintained at the expense
of one cadet, when so many Others
have committed similar otfenses and
been released.
1t is because, therefore, Of a deep
conviction on the part Of the sopho-
more class that the faculty has been
led into some misunderstanding. pos
sibly through the failure of Cadet
Thornwell to present his case in the
proper manner that we ask for a re-
consideration.
