TIVE TO ELSON's HIS
TORY EPISODE.

SALEM, VA. April 1s.--Replying
TO individual criticisms OF President
Morehead and particularly to u reso
lution Of William Watts Camp, Con-
Tolerate Veterans. condeInnlng the
use of Eisnns History at Roanoke
College. as unfair to the South, the
faculty has issued a statement, which
is, in part as follows;
In view of the many false rumors
and persistent Misrepresentation in
regard to the position OF Roanoke
College as TO the Elson history, we
desire to set forth the facts In the
matter. The professor in charge
found difficulty in securing text
book of suitable scope for the work.
He adopted Elson as being prac-
ueally the only available single
volume covering the whole field of
American history. and discussing
topics with sufficient fulness 10
stimulate further thought and study.
Neither the professor OF history nor
the president of the college nor any
member OF the faculty has ever de-
! Tended the errors OF Elson Every
membe of the faculty has the great
est admiration for the men who
fought the battles Of the Confederacy,
but we cannot forget that wa. are
also citizens of the United States,
We believe our chief duty Is not TO
resurrect the bitterness and animosi-
ties Of the past. but to train young
men for present day duties and to a
patriotism that embraces the whole
country" @
The faculty explains that President
Morehead did not break his promise
TO discontinue the use Of The book In
