Lee Guard and George Rifles Abolished

The Trustees of the A. q M.
College at q recent meeting abolish
ed the two military companies at
the College selling forth the fola
lowing reasons:
Whereas, it is the judgement
of this board that the special mill
tary companies at Mississippi A. &
ID. College known as the Lee
Guards and the George Rifles are
fostering social and class distinc
tions that have no place in demos
cratic institutions; that their in
fuence tends to extravaganza and
excessive social indulgence on the
part Of their members; that the
presence Of these companies in the
STUDENT body is the cause of discord
and that the organizations exert mo-
constructive influence for good to
the college or to the student body
therefore be it.
Resolved, first. That the special
regulations adopted early in the
last session providing for recols
Ranixstion Of these companies are
hereby revoked; second, that these
special military companies are
hereby abolished; third that in fu
ture no organization whose pur pose
is social or ssmi>sociaI or whose |
members are selected on basis of !
social fitness shall be allowed to be
organized or permitted to exist in
this institution; fourth, that the
president and the discipline COM
mittee of the faculty of Mississippl
A. & NJ. College are hereby ins-
tructed aud empowered to enforce
this resolution by Furnishing viola
tions thereof with dismissal or such
other penalty as may in their
judgment be wise and just,
The TINES does not believe that
the Young man comprizing these |
companies were the social snobu
taat the above resolutions would
indicate. However. if they are
1t would have done no harm to
have let then alone The snob in !
society can't travel far.
