my name on The Jeffersonian sub

the freedom of body and mind which
our forefathers contemplated in

the South is beginning to get it's eyes

pure, though misguided and over-ex-
uherent desire to honor the presidents s
birthday WAS the real cause; for the
presidents popularity is gratifying to
the faculty, and Il suitable recognition
of his birthday is commendable.
But granting holidays from our
business at the university is certainly
as serious matter as in any other sort
of business, public or private the au-
thority to grant holidays must reside in
the governing body. The lawless as
sumption of this authority by group
of students is the beginning of anarchy,
whatever plausible DISCUSSES it may
assume.
No one can have better opinion of
the good feeling of our university stu
dents toward the institution or higher
appreciation of their good intentions
and good relations to the faculty; but
persons with the best intentions may
sometimes. through haste or thought
lessness, make mistakes.

make frank and open acknowledges
