remain in the institution. He explained
that it was only after he was committed

permitted to remain he would be able in
another year to re-enter the world pos

Roanoke College.

The faculty of Roanoke College has
asked The Washington Herald to pre-
sent the controversy following the in
PRODUCTION of Elson's history of the
United States from that facultys point
OF view, in order to correct an erroneous
impression which seems to have gone
abroad as to President Morehead's
position in the matter The faculty is
lmpelled to take this step owing to the
injection of personalities into the matter,
despite the prompt action on the part of
the board of trustees.
1t has been stated in these columns
that trouble arose during the winter
over the use of the ElSon history as a
textbook in advanced work. Incidental
ly, the identical book is being used in
fifteen other colleges in the South. Prof
Thorstenberg, who occupies the chair of
history in the college, found difficulty
in securing a work of suitable scope

If it contained errors, neither Dr. Thor
stenberg nor the president of the college
ever defended them Alleged mistakes
OF contemporary historians, who write
ere the clouds of popular feeling are
lifted, can only be met or nullifed by
clear reasoning and by a dispassionate
presentation of facts.
Roanoke College is a Southern insti-
tuition with Southern traditions, and its
faculty is chiefly composed of Southern
men. The professor of history, while
not Southerner. is man of irreproach-
able character, above sectionalism or
prejudice. Neither the trustees nor the
faculty has ever discovered that owing
to his teachings, any student has been
rendered less loyal to the South. The
faculty, however, while having the great
est admiration for the heroes who fought
the battles of the Confederacy, as a re-
suit of their convictions, cannot forget
that its members, above all, are citizens
of the United States. The faculty is alb
solutely correct in saying that its chief
duty is not to resurrect bitterness and
animosities of the past, but to train
young men for the duties of the present
day, and to a patriotism that embraces
the whole of the United States.
Therefore, replying to the resolution
adopted by William Watts Camp of Con-
federate Veterans, "deploring the stand
taken by President Morehead. who, after
promising to abolish the Elson book, still
is keeping it in use" the faculty has
decided to speak They say that the
attack upon the character of President
