VOL XLV NO, -A'.) NEWBERRY, S. O.. FRIDAY, APRIL 10. 1908. TWICE A WEEK. SI.50 A YEAR , FACULTY DISMISSES ' 25? MORE STUDENTS ' CLEMSON COMMITTEE PUNISH- 1 ES FRESH, SOPII A.ND PREFS. \ President Mell a.nd Captain Minus i j Make Talks to Cadets Telling j Them of Need for Preserving Discipline. 1 The State. 1 damson College, April S.?Two! hundred and l.'ifly-seven students of I Clemson college were t liis morning | i dismissed from the insiitnlion. This 11 number, with the 48 members of the ' | junior class dismissed on Saturday, aggregates .'505 dismissed on account , of tin? all-fool's day escapade, when j 300 cadets absented themselves from j the campus, drills ami classes from , 7:-!") a. ni. until (i p. in. Of the 300 participants only four wore not ilismissed. R. H. M\c.Hardy. a member | of the junior class from Charleston, was suspended until next September. . lie leslilicd before the discipline committee thai he absented'himself from i drills and classes, but did n<u leave ! Ihe campus. Cadet 15. T. Knight of i Chesterfield, a member of the frosh-j man class, was excused of this charge. i If was on account of extenuating' ' circumstances surrounding his case ! that the committee dismissed lha M charges. Cadet J. 11. llaydou of J' Orangeburg of the preparatory class ' and Cadet J. R. Ki/.er of Summer- * villa of the freshman class will b? dealt with summarily by Commandant | Minns. The tesl'imony in the cases of ^ these young men differed" widely ^ from Ihe testimony in the other '' cases. The discipline committee met ^ last night at S o'clock in the presi-* ' dent's ollice. The session lasted until ! 1 o'clock this morning, when ii was j ^ announced the committee had d.-lcv-j mined upon punishment IVr lis. parii- ! cipauls in the escapade. The cm- ' millee has been holdiu-.* Missions three i 1 times a day 'excepting Sunday s*i nc-.* j lasu Wednesday?one week au'o. At1 7: o'clock this morning when thej' corps formed in lino for their regular!1 daily drill Commandant Minus had his 1 j adjutant to publish an order direct- i iiiy the participants in the escapade 11 to turn in at the quartermaster's de- ' parlment all college and government | ' properties in their possession. j ' Th e names of the participants were j called and they dropped out as they j heard their names. After all the prop- i ' j^rty had been turned in to the i ' quartermaster the boys, as directed j1 by Commandant Mio.-.ts, conn regaled j ' in the chapel. The morning drill was ' dispensed wit'h. After all tiic'cadels 1 of the institution were seated ami; alter the regular chapel services were' concluded I'resi lent Mell arose and ' in a few words announced' thai lie ' was extremely sorry ihat I lie escap- s ade had occurred. He was very sorry. 1 he said, Ihat the guilty boys would ' have to be death w'th severely, but s discipline was absolutely necessary and the college authorities must be v obeyed by the cadets. After I'resi- 1 dent Mell had concluded Command- x ant Minus addressed (he cadets along ^ the same lines as Dr. Mell. When 1 lie had concluded he handed Cadet ^ Adjutant Tind'all an order to be pub- * lislicd at once. This order provided for the dismissal from Ihe college of ' -13 members of the preparatory class, ' 132 members of the freshman class ' and S!2 members of Ihe sophomore v M'he laws of Clemson college prohibit j expulsion. Dismissal means that the ' connection with Clemson college of ' the 2. >7 cadets dismissed is perman- 1 'entl.v absolved. These cadets may j enter other colleges in or out ofj*' South Carolina. The majority of lhe'(> dismissed cadets have been aut'icipal-' ing such a sentence for several days.! 'Many of them have had ihoir trunks j packed since the juniors were (lis*-: missed last Saturday. The dismissal J. order this morning therefore was not 11 a sur.pri:?e to them and they were I'ul- ' lv prepared for it. Directly after dinnor today la.rge numbers of the ex- ' cadets loft for their respective homes, y Some left tonight and many will d?>- H part tomorrow morning. Quite a few .1 of them will remain on the campus j'C J r L intil after the baseball game tomor-| ow afternoon. The I'aenlly will bo compelled to levise the classes now. Many seci"iis in the freshmen and sophomore; lasses were almost totally wiped out. I I'lii' revisions aiie / nv ?ii?i 11 _?' ma.le j tinf everythiny i*> progressing smooth-' y niiil wit hout friction. The cadets i vho remain at the college regret the lismissal of their friends, but they ivill remain to a"man. There will be in departing of cadets out of symlathv for the ex-cadets. 'fhe members of the discipline ommil lee have just gone through the lardest experience they have over ind. They liave been patient an.l have i-.'anV every cade! under the serious diarge. They have worked" deliberately ind with the determination of wrotigng no man. Their action in dismissng the cadets was based on the tosinnny of the individual cadets as to he circuin-tances surrounding each ?ase. A heavy load' has been lif; ed I'm in the hearts of the committee nembers. They have acted conscienionsly throughout the entire trouble.
