By the way, right to object or criticise, for. the who won that contests decisions ot tne nau are nnai anu sovereign in all matters relative to We have two games scheduled the Hall dredMollar debt, which the two so cieties would have to make good in case of a deficit. This meant that an assessment of three or tour dol lars per member might, and in view of the past was likely to, occur. The Dialectic and Philanthropic So cieties were the parties to this con tract. The Philanthropic signmect Its willingness to assume its portion of the debt and run the risk of as sessing its members; the Dialectic refused to do either. A plain busi ness proposition, wherein the Tar HEEL had no interest at stake and hence no right to criticise. The question came up as a consti tutional amendment, and, failing to receive the necessary t w o thirds vote, was lost.- The constitution declares that the minority shall rule in such questions as the above, and who, but an ignoramus, will deny that minority the right to avail it self of this constitutional provision. There were three principal rea sons for the Society's' action: 1st. The plan was identical with the one unon which the old Magazine maue so signal a failure, and the. Society liad no desire for a repetition ot its :ormer experience; 2nd. The treas ury of the Society would not permit it. With an ever decreasing mem ¬ bership and with a crying demand or our every cent in our own nan, it was not deemed wise at this time o assume so large a debt; 3rd. The societies, composed of less than half the men in college, would be respon sible for all debts, would have to make ?ood every deficit, while all .. -. .'-..: college received the credit tor tne Map-azine. Is it to be wondered at that the one hundred and fifty men, in the two societies, should refuse to far ther and support an offspring claim ed bv the other three hundred men in college? And did the fact that . u? these one hundred and fifty men re fused to assess themselves in order to enter this field of missionary lit erary labor, give the Tar Heei. the rie-ht to abuse them? Is it not within the province of the individual to use and appropriate his own monev according to his own wishes? With several individuals lorming an exclusive organization ' the case is certainly changed in no essential oi undamental way. I have purposely disregarded the violent and insulting language of he article and have nly desired to place the action of the Dialectic So ciety fairly before the Tar Heel's readers. I hope, however, 1 may be pardoned for reverting to the in sulting and abusive invectives that were without cause heaped upon the conscientious members ol the Dialectic, by an officious meddler irom tne oiusiue, wuu uau mp inv est in the result, in order to say this, that his words indicate a very weak case or a very low order of mind; and further, to assure the writer of the article in question, that his ill advised abuse has cer tainly done more to kill the Maga zine in the Dialetic Society than any action that could have been taken within that body.
