an institution to be emulating the repu-

University of Chicago. And we commend

much right to the expression of his
opinion as any of the faculty of Trinity
College. Burning in effigy is symbolic of
a burning at the stake. And if the truth
be told perhaps the faculty are not as free
as he is to denounce the trusts, for in

COMPLETELY BOXED THE COMPASS

A little while ago the only opinion
about Thomas Jefferson that the president
or faculty of Trinity College were known
to hold was that lie sage OF Monticello
was "a monster" In sermon in Raleigh,
DR.. Kilgo held up Jefrerson's ideas OF
education and religion as subversive OF
character and Christian education" and
held up the man himself as "a mon
ster."
And yet today the whole defense OF
the course of Trinity College in the Kilgo-
Bassett absurd declarations is based upon
a declaration of this monster"
few years ago, the Jefferson idea OF
college-a place where the mind OF
youth should be free to think without
religious or other bias-was pronounced
by DR.. Kilgo worse than no education
at all-"Godless and downward" Then
we We're told that the true ideal of edu
cation was found only in UNCONVENTIONAL
colleges, where the faculty sought to
bias the mind of growing youth with
Christian principles and sectarian inter-
probation.
Now it is boosted by the faculty of
Trinity College, quoting Jefferson's con-
ception of the University of Virginia
This institution will be based upon the
illimitable freedom of the human mind.
For here we are not afraid to follo,,
truth wherever it may lead, nor to toler.
ate error so long as reason is left free
to combat it." If the president and facul-
ty of Trinity College are ready to accept
Mr.. Jefferson's conception as the chart
of that institution, it must no longer call
itself Methodist school, must quit talk
ing about Christian education as Dr..
Kilgo defines it. and must quit trying to
bias the mind of students in favor Of the
Methodist church. jefferson would never
have consented for any church to control
in higher education.

NOT FUNNY FOR THE COLLEGE.

Greensboro Record.
Burning the editor of the Raleigh News

may be very funny for the boys. but it
may not prove so funny for the college.
Dr. Bassett's resignation was not ac-
cepted because it was contended that this
was country of free speech, and though
the student body burned the effigy of free
speech, it was the only thing that saved
Bassett. So far as injuring Mr.. Daniels
editor of the paper, it will be the making
of him. The incident reminds us of that

When it YVES supposed that the editorial

lows:
1T was a great surprise to me to see
such action. The incident has created
much unfavorable comment and indlgna-
ton. The nearness of President Roose-
welt seems to have cowed the old Tar Heel
spirit"

tors were not cowed or of two minds,
but deliberated in order to make I'M
animous declaration confined to tine overt
and hwless act, seeking to destroy the
liberty of the press. Some members fell
