THEP EOPLESJOURNA VOL 12.-NO. 15. PICKIENS, S. C., THURSDAY, MlAY 8, 1902. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR ~ ~ - - -9 T.11.10, TROU151-n AT CIU4MS The Soplioniore Cluss l4eivet tile College W'itl1 Synuipatily oI Other Cadets. The entire sophomore class of Clen son College has left tile institution and their course has been approvel by the senior and junior classes. Th cause of this action on the part of the StUdOnts Was the SUSpenIsiOn of Cadet E. A. Thoinwell, of Fort Mill, S. C., and when his class asked the taculty to reinstate him on the ground that a trivial offence only had been comi mited, the faculty refused to revise its action, which resulted in the class agreeing to leave at once. Only a few remained after this course was resolved upon, and they followed within a (lay or two, making a total of 74 cadets who joinled in this movement. Tihe faculty hel I a meeting after the students had left the canipus, anid at its close the following statement was given out by Col. Rt. W. Simpson, chairman of the board of trustees, which was endorsed by President Hart zog, namely: " The faculty last week awarded )uniisllment to a student of the sopho more class by suspending hi until the ( end of the session. The sopho More class petitioned tile faculty to re instate the student. Tile faculty met again and heard a committee of the class, but saw n1o reason to grant their request. Thereupon a number of the chiss left and went to their several homes. While the faculty regret thisi action on the part of the studlents they feel compelled to maintain discipl hnle." The offence of which (5adet. Thrn well was guilty was toking 1011m gLass test tubes from the chemical labora tory without per-llsion. ile m11e111 bers of the faculty say they have been troubled a great deal by coniuct of this kind and deterinined some tine ago to break uip the practice. Notice wias given that tile next offender caught would be severely dealt with. Cadet Thornwell was caught, and his suspen sion followed. These tubes which are small glass cylinders with little or no value rmay not have been taken witih any wrong iltelt, tihe faculty, say, but the taking of them was a violation of the rules. As a matter of fact the faculty say the college has been ani noyed at great deal by tile disappearance of a iumiber of small articles such as tools, wrenches, etc., and it was coi sidered absolutely necessiary to put an emphatic end to ti. business. The students admit there is a rule that no test t uhes or other college ap paraltus shall he hiken for use by any of tihe studeiits witlout the colsent, of tile professors, but they say it hais not been observed generally. Cadet Thorn well did take four of the tubes from the general store to his (esk or stand, as it is called, in tile buldiblg, but he took them for use in class work and they consider his suspension ani out rage, as 110 wrong was imtended. The students say they thought the facts had been misrepresented or exagger ated to the faculty and petitioned for a relhearing of the case ill order that all the circuistaines mighlt be brotight ou. When the faculty refused their re quest they felt that loyalty to their classmate deiaided that they should leave the college in a body and this wvas done1( at once. Th'le main point urged by the students is that the punishmemnt intilictedl oni young Th'lornwell is ini excess of that warranted hby the case. F~or inlstance tihey say there is a college rule thlat a stuldenlt found witih me1ss5 hall1 propert~y in hlis room shlall b~e given ten demerits, yet hlere was a stud~entL who simply violated a rule andl unwittingly took certain college prioperty for use in his class wvork, without removing it from the building, for wichl lie waIs su5 peun :Ied. The corresponldent of The State talked with a great, many college stu (dents on tihe campllus. T1hie sthludents were I. ry mulchl wioughit up and~ over whiehingly im sympathy with the sophlomores. Theli sen1ior class mlet and1( adopted a resolutionl of sympjathiy for tile sophomores, ndrigtheir actionl. A copy of the resolutions will be senlt to tile family of each of tile st~udlents Wihe left. When tile sop~hlomores dcided~ to leave many of thlem (lid noet have mnoney enuiigh to get away on,. Money was furnished them by the members of' the other classes anid tile coliege so cieties exhlaustedl their treasuries. '[he dleparturle of the cadets was cond~uctedl in a qJuiet, and ordlerly miannerm, anud thlere was no0 demonstrationi or excIte mienlt,, hilt, a great, deal of feeling and dleterminatin. P'resident, Ilartzoz and t~he other members of the faculty salid thley re grettd ilhe matter very miuchi, but thley felt that, thbey 11ad( simply (is chlarged thleir duty as required iby the circumilstancdes. " it was simply a question,'' said C'ol. Simpson, " as to who shlol run this college, the fiac ulty or the( students. The faculty felt that thley were the Ones to run it, and have proceeded accordingly. *' There will be n10 mieetimig of tie board of truiste'3s," sid Col. Simpson, " because there is noe need for it. The ineidlent, while very much dieplored, has caurredl and has d(ed, and the( college wil l)proeed as5 thouigh nlothing had1( happenmed. We dleepily regret, ti hasty- action of tihe students, and1( wI believe 110 one will regret, it more thai the stuldents themuselvesi wheni they re alizAe what a mistake they have made,' Tlhie following is the text of tha complaint by the so)phomfore class: To thle lFacumlty and Presient, of Clenm SOnl College: Thel( sophomlole class hlas asked for; rannalaration of Cadelt Thornwwel i case, and we herewith present our rea- I Sonls. Our action is based upon the belief ,hat we consider Cadet Thornwell's punishient greater than his offense f deserves. For example, it is obvious ) that the faculty does not consider ('Cadet I Thornwell's offence the same as that t of stealing, else they would have ex polled him. If not stealing, we con- I sider that his punisiment shoul not be made so much severer than that in llicted for similar offenses. Cadet Thornwell only took the test tubes for use in the laboratory with out the professor's permission. We A calr cite no case of exact parallel. We do know, however, that two years ago t( when bottles and chemicals weretaken s from the laboratory, not even were re- o ports entered against the boys in e whoso rooms they were found. In si cases where property taken from the e mess hall is found in the students pos- h sessiOn, the penalty is niot, 8111)siOll, g but only demerits. ti in both of these instances we coin- all sider the offense evidently worse than - that of Cadet Thornwell, Inasmuch as W the articles taken were for private use, d and not for class work. tl Cadet Thornwell is not guilty of an fo unusual or peculiar crime,. He simply ti did what has been the practice of the gi entire class (luring its course inl cheml- ill istry. tl We, therefore, believe that the fae- at ulty is laboring under a iusunder- tl standing, or has been led to regard Cl with great seriousness atinl off(ise li which has not been so regarded in the fir past. fat We appreciateC the position of the m facully, when it, takes the stald that tit the co1vlege slhmol I hoe protected. But m we l14) 1 I hi 164is position shioi1(1 tlh be iim iniittinied at ie XIense Ofl one Li cadeL, wheni so iiany others have di c-)mm)itted siuil 11r offeisos tild been r released. fo It is because, the refore, of a deep all conviction on the parl of the sopho.

I1 Th'le college authorities got winid of Ii what was going oni and asked Co~l. it. dI W. Simpsoni, t~he chiairmani of the board It of trusateca, to del iver' a i al k to the li st~udents in one of t he class roomst. 1 Col. Simpsl)onit rtasonedl with tbem atnd c finally persuadled them to delerii act ionm B until the trustees hel a meeting and 'I took the matteri uder advisement. It i is statedl thtt i here will ntot hte a special. mieetintg of thme trustece, bitt t~he next Ii regular meeting will lbe helid early in ti ,June. C ol . Simpson hats a great deal s of iniluetnce with the st~udents. The outbreak at, Clemsomn, it appears y to those conversant with the facts, is ~ the cuhnuinationi of a trouble which has been brewing cver since the openinigr of the present sessioni and ptossibily I longer. T1he studenits are very bitter e against certain muemb~ers of the faculty, -and openly charge them with vacilla tion, inconsBistency and unfairness in enforcing discipline. This feeling is I iractically the entire itulent body is ivolved. Col. Simpson, with the aid of othcrs, ucceeded in diverting further trouble or the present, but, the matter is not 'et ended and it will require a very horough invetigation by the trustees o satisfactorily settle the dillicuilty.

I was rich, (I as I drove home I felt of it in my eket every little while to be sure it f ,s there. t I like to reward these little chaps, it does them so much goodi and tkes them love ine. The love of an i(cenmt chil ii the purest, oi earth cept, the love of a mothor. I have grea ter coi mfort now than thie glad ilce of a itt le one that jumps into my us whenever I come. It llatters my nity, for though I am old and ugly little one will hug me and pat my inkled cheeks and turn away from >se who are young and lihaudsome. e greates.t inducement for a parent be a Christian is to secure the salva n of their children and meet them lie.tven, for it is said in the Scrip es in three places c" Jeleve in the rd .Jesus Christ and tloui salt be led thou and thine house." it was cI by Paul and by Peter and the irit, "1 thou and thine house."'

I instructed ther ildren to look for eggs and they and only two leaves with eggs on em.

I shall eon ine my bargaim wvith the children, en if it is expensive. I overheard Cim plottog this evening about going the drug store tomorrow and buying ine ice cream, and they agreed to ke two saucers apiece. These little -is are great iniventions, and I love to itch them and theni ruminate and ncder why it, is that, children, es cially boys, get more selfIsh and de itful as they grow older. Th'le devil ems tco let them alone until they get aaned1 from their mot~her. The good and the had are strangely ixo.l in this world.
