GIVES FRANK STATEMENT OF CONDITIONS
AT CLEMSON and SAYS that PRESl-

:
of the beard of trustees of Glenn
son College, has given to the
daily papers the following state
ment anent the Minus Nell con-
troversy:
"Capt Minus in Mondays State
makes charges against DR. Nell,
president of Clemson College,for
interfering with the discipline OF
the institution, which caused
him 10 resign bis position as
commandant of the military de-
partment Of Clemson College.
Now, are these charges true or
false9 DR. Nell in his reply does
not deny the allegation, and
why not? He says, 4 decline to
enter into a newspaper controi
versy with the retiring COM
mandant on the administration
of affairs at Clemson College,for
the following reasons; First, the
issues he raises belong entirely
to the board of trustees. This
body has recently considered
these affairs and have announced
their decision do not think DR.
Nell can prove this statement.
The board considered Capt Mi
nus resignation and not the
charges, as DR. Nell would have
US believe. And we accepted it
with the understanding that on
account of the continued inter
ference of DR. Nell with the discl-
pline of the college, Capt Minus
could and would not submit to
such treatment longer by DR.
Nell.
This was not the first time
Capt Minus has complained to
the board of trustees. AS many
as three times Capt Minus had
stated that DR. Nell was interfer-
ing with the discipline of the
college and if he did not stop
meddling where he had no bus
mess he would have to resign
through self respect. DR. Nell
promised twice to quit meddling
with Capt Minus department,
and if he had kept his promise
we would have had none of this
trouble and unpleasantness
which Is now threatening to tear
up the college. Capt Minus has
made the same charges all the
time-interference with the mill
itary department of the college
is DR. Mell's forte.
GAS remember the interview
with DR. Nell in regard to his
meddling with the military post
of the college he did not deny
any of Capt Minus charges, but
simply tried to justify his course
in meddling with Capt Minus
department on the ground that
he was head of the institution;
that is to say, there was no ap
peal from his action or decision;
he was supreme and that no
mau could act contrary to his
notion OF things without his
changing the order, although
the commandant had made 1t.
