pointed by the chairman to take into
consideration the revision of the by
laws, and, in consultation with the
president of the college, report such
changes as in their Judgment are nee
essary to secure the following results:
| /. Define the powers and duties Of the
president Of the college, so that he shall
be the absolute head Of the college, to
be held responsible for its satisfactory
working and success. 2. To define the
relation of the trustees of the college
and their duties as inspectors and leg
islators, seeking to secure the best re-
suits at a minimum of expense; the
idea being that the trustees shall di-
rect and control the policy of the COL
lege under general rules and regula-
tions, while the faculty shall carry
them out under the orders of the presi-
dent of the college, who snail alone act
as the intermediary between the trus-
tees and the various heads Of depart
ments, and shall be held responsible
for results. 3. To secure the co-ordi-
nation and cooperation of the various
departments Of the college with a view
to economy and efficiency and clear
definition of duties of the various Of
ficers of the college"

appointed on this committee the follow

Copy of the bylaws accompany this
paper showing in red ink my recon-
mendations to the committee when 1t
met in August for the revision. These
bylaws were finally adopted as print
ed by the board Of trustees at its last
meeting, December, 1909.
The Loyal Members.
I desire to say to- the committee of
the general assembly that the following
members of the board of trustees have
stood by me in my efforts to build
Clemson Agricultural college into
high grade institution of agriculture,
engineering and science, viz: Senator
B. r. Tillman, Messr5. r. e. Bowen, M.
L. Donaldson, B. H. Rawl, Jesse II.
Hardin, Jonn G. Richards. Mr.. r. l.
Manning has been on the board or
trustees so short time / cannot speak
intelligently concerning his probable
attitude on the questions disturbing the
college. I believe, however, that he
will take station with the gentlemen
mentioned above In all those matters
which are for the well-being and best
interests of Clemson Agricultural COL
lege. Mr.. j. E. Wannamaker mas on
| many OCCdSlOUS SuppoitS0 tiiS PhSSA
dent in his plans for the best interest
of the college; like the other GENTLE
men, he is an independent thinker, as
he should be, but think his sympathy
has been with the president when ne
thought this officer was right. Mr..
Wannamaker, however, has several
relatives on the college force and DO
not know what would be his attitude II
the test was made.
In submitting this paper wish 1t TO
be distinctly understood that l have
endeavored to withdraw all personality
from the accounts have given. and
would be greatly disturbed If thought
that l had said anything which would
bring trouble upon innocent parties.
desire also to say that my colleagues on
the faculty and on the college force or
officers have stood by me loyalty in the
work of the college, and have no, crit
icism to make against any one OF these
gentlemen; they are all loyal to the
college and its interests. If the evils.
I have tried to relate in this paper are
corrected / am confident Clemson Agri-
cultural college will grow into the fin
est institution in the entire south.
Respectfully,
P. H. NELL.
