The State Press on the College Trouble

press closely and with only one ex-
ception has single paper in the
State failed to endorse the action
of President HlghtoWer. DR.. Ma
gruder, Gov. Brewer and the Board
Of Trustees in their action in deal
ing with the recent trouble at the
A, Il M. Enough has been said
on the subject by the State papers
to fill pages and pages, and as sn
sample of the expressions of the
State press we append a few ex-
cerpts.
The fact that girls are attending
this institution is news to neost
Mississippians. The school is being
maintained at heavy expense for
fitting boys for a practical life.
while a similar institution for girls
is being supported by the state al
Columbus. If the girls at the A
& NJ. College were at the Industrial
Institute and College, as they
should be. this trouble and the con-
sequent expulsion of many boys
who would have completed the
course in a few months would have
been prevented. But, be this as it
may, the school has passed an or
der, and il it is necessary TO eXpel
every boy at the school in order
that the mandate Of the school be
carried out, it should be done.
When q school gets so weak thai
the student body dictates its policy.
its doors had better be cIossd. =

pi, and it is presum0d that the fac

shall run the school. To submit to
such insubordination as that which
seems to prevail Is out OF the ques-
tion, The school had better be
abandoned and the building utilized
for better purposes than to tolerate
such insubordination. President
Aightower, Professor Mu9ruder
and Governor Brewer are entirely
right and the people will back them

then necessarily follows that there
is some other cause for the conduct
pf the seniors. and since they have
gohe SO far as to demand apologies
from, the president and one of the
professors, it looks like the Incl,

lack OF respect is the thing to be in,
vestigated and whether it is justifi-
able is the thing to be determined.
The sooner this determination ar
rived at the better it will be for all
concerned. AT best the institution
has already suffered an injury from
which it cannot soon recover. -
