Of a week 5 entertainment to be
paid by 1.-THE authorities Of Clemson
out Of their own pockets"
Our experience with the Press As
Sociation is that the members prefer
as a rule to pay their own hotel bills
at these annual meetings. We stated
that we had no objection to the As
sociation making a visit to Clemson
from Greenville and so far as We are
concerned the Association may meet
at Clemson for a week if it is desired.
In saying what we did We were only
expressing the opinion Of humble
member of the Association, and we
would not pretend to speak for the
Association.
This habit Of accepting the hospi-
tality Of institutions by editors or
others in order to find out the facts
and conditions Of the institution ac-
cording to our experience and obser-
vation has never conduced to the find
ing out Of the actual facts.
We have known legislatures to ac-
cept invitations to visit institutions
and afterwards when it came to max
ing appropriations for these institu-
tions heard members say they would
like to vote against some Of these ap-
preparations but they had received
such royal entertainment that they
felt that they could not do so.
We do not pretend to indicate that
this would be the case with the Press
Association if it should accept enter
tainment for week at Clemson col
lege, which entertainment was paid
far out q: ''the pockets Of the au-
tlorities at Clemson," but it is nat
ural that the persons who accept such
hospitality would feel moe like say
ING pleasant things about those who
rendered that entert tainment.
The Press Associa ton can do as it
pleases, as it no doubt will, but if it
is going to Clemson TO find out the
truth about Clemson'' it ought not
to go as the guests Of Clemson and
the authorities and let the authorities
pay the expenses out of their pockets.
That is all we said and all we meant
to say.
