STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT In Regard to the Conduct ot the Stu dents as Reported in The Observer of December lit, 1883, and a Vindica tion of Their Good Name. Davidson College, Jan. 18, 1884. To the Editor oftM Charlotte Observer. Dear ?ir: The account given in the Observer, of December 11th, of the alleged misconduct of some students of Davidson College has been widel7 circulated, and has formed the occa sion of some as extravagant and un founded reports as have ever been made about the government of an in stitution of learning and the charac ter of its students. Influential news- Eapers in the North and in the South ave carried these libelous misrep resations of a Southern college and of Southern students into every part of the country. In an article that appeared lately in the Observer about an affray in this State, you made some remarks about the "sensationalists who magni fy and pervert little disturbances and send them forth to the world," the deplorable effects of such exaggera tions, and the hopelessness of undoing the mischief wrought, were so just and forcible, that I have been tempted to quote them as applying with even more force to the present case. ' The lie," you say, "has travelled a thousand miles while truth was putting on her seven league boots, and perhaps not half the papers thtt published the falsehood will see the correction " Too true of these reports about Davidson. But will you per mit me to correct you on one point? Truth is too poor to own a pair of seven league boots She wears very heavy shoes; they hurt the toes they tread on, but tiiey are clumsy and do not fit well, so she moves along very slowly. Falsehood will "put a girdle round the earth," while Truth is trudging through one village. Truth is good in a fight, but poor in a race. No public man or publie institution has a right to complain of the seve -e?t criticism by the public journals. All about them that it concerns the public to know it f ught to know. I should be gl td to have the real con dition of Davidson and of all our schools and colleges constantly dis cussed in our newspapers and rigor ously judged. Davidson would have nothing to lose "and much to gain. But if the press is to act as judge, it must exercise the judicial virtues. It must hold it self aloof from all personal party, aud sectarian interests ; it must be sure of its information and publish nothing, the truth of which is not es tablished by competent evidence ; its judgment should De in strict accord ance with the facts. The larger number of the newspa pers that have published the damag ing reports about this college have not observed this caution and impar tiality. The statements of a preju diced witness, evidently designed to injure, have been accepted and sent forth on their errand, without an opportunity being given to ascertain the real facts. I heard nothing of the disturbance. until, when on my way to Florida, it was reported to ma by (Japt. Ulark- son. On my return . home a month after its occurrence, two weeks after the article had appeared in the Ob server I found not a line from any one making complaint or giving in formation. . No member of the facul ty had received a complaint from any quarter. The President of the rail road, whom I met in Columbia, had heard nothing. Yet your correspon dent, without informing the authori ties either of the railroad or of the college ; without askmg an investiga tion ; wirhout affording an opportuni ty of investigating, rushes into print and in an anonymous communica tion gives a one sided, distorted pre sentation of the ease. - His conduct admits of no excuse. As-to the char acter of anonymous attacks on repu tation all rignt minded men -.'.wilt agree. If a course like that pursued by your correspondent is tolerated, the good name of every matt will be at the mercy of every secret enemy. The motive ol the communication is betrayed in the pitiable questions at its close. "Did these young men get their contempt for our ministers and church at their own homes?" "Are there any Methodists at that col- e. and if there are, do their Metho dist mothers and fathers know that they are stirrouttded voith such, asso ciated, and is Davidson d good place for Methodists to. send their sonsi" Such .questions deserve no answer. I shall oe greatly aeceivea, u tne writer is not -found to misunderstand : the members ot nis own cnurcn as com pletely as he misunderstands the students of Davidson. It will require more - than his assertion, to convince me that such appeals "to a narrow, bitter sectarianism 'meet with any sympathy in the Methodist church in rv ftfmrch. Two statements aoouc me stuaenus nrid the college are in " Circulation Onv is contained in a special dispatch, dated Charlotte. December .11th, tn. the . Louisvila Courier Journal, 'the St, Louis Globe- Democrat, the New York, Time, and frobably some other papers. Of f his shall at preseni only say that every n-onoml utAtemeht' in it. is Jwhblly false. The other is siven in tlw Ob Tw ' 11. and is repeated with some unessentialiiTariatlohB -itt a communication aaiuauowo, put ftr Dec. 11) to the oGolfoborq Ad-: oirned.bv theRdVi tJ. Mrep- DerThese two article all that, call for notices Theytato every thing that bas been given tothe puV , d-.w i,i.lB dealm strong lan- !d theorTought flto be revived . with mdfctrust. Strong language generally goes far beyqpd, and often very far aside of the real facts. The communications seem rather intend ed to inflame passion, than simply to give the facts just as they are. I shall give the students' version of the occurrence, not concealing the worst. Between their statement and that of others the public must decide. All who were present at the train gave their names to the Faculty, freely and without a wish for them to do so being conveyed to them by any member of the Faculty. They demanded an investigation of the charges made against them, with en tire readiness to accept all 4 the con sequences. To do this in the face of the feeling excited by these wild re ports was a courageous act, and is worthy of commendation Even Mr. Pepper will, I believe, be compelled to acknowledge that after- all "the human beings who came on board the train." are brave honorable fel lows. I hope that their explanations may convince him that he has done them a great wrong. They have proved themselves worthy to be trusted. Among those present are some who went to the train on business, and who took no part in the disorder. They were in the coach during the whole time that it was at the station ; they saw and heard most that took place and they have no motive to misrepresent or to conceal. On the night of November 28th, a number of students, variously esti mated at from fifteen to twenty, went tothe train which reaches this station between nine and ten o'clock. A few remained outside of the coach, ten or twelve boarded the train. "Some," your correspondent says, "wereoddly dressed ;" two wore linendusters, one an old hat that he is accustomed to wear about the campus. Two or three sat down at cnoe to talk with acquaintances among the p. ssengers. The others walked along the aisle talking and laughing and looking at the ladies, and then some of them sat down, ("took possession of the seats" as your correspondent expresses it,) three or four "took possession of thw aisle" and talked with the young la dies, the others either stood around the door or left the car. That there was a good deal of noise and confusion, especially at first, may be taken for granted. ; The old hat seems to have been the occasion of the greatest disorder. The bois terous jokes of the students on it s unlucky wearer, no doubt, were very annoying to the passengers. But to denounce boisterous sport as "rowdy ism" is as great a breach of truth as the behavior of the young men was a breach of good manners. Had the young men been sober, their conduct, so the "grave minister" who reports it seems to think, would have been less reprehensible. "But as they appeared to be sober, we suppose that it was a premeditated attempt to rid icule the ministers on board or their church." The logic and the morals of this are beyond the comprehension of a plain man like myself. The in sulting acts are summed up in the communication of Rev. C. M. Pepper to the Goldsboro Advance. "They frequently called each other brother. made allusions to the conference, and other remarks which were evidently intended to poke fun at Methodist preachers." I am glad to have it in my power to assure him that the students were not engaged in the un seemly procedure of "poking fun at Methodist preachers or at any preachers. Three or four voung men, who wero not students, did, indeed, distribute advertisements of one of the village stores, calling them "free tickets to conference." No other re mark is remembered that could be construed as an offensive 4 allusion," unless it be the question of some ig norant Presbyterian who asked, What is the conference?" When a man sets out with the de termination to be insulted he is sure to find a plenty of insults, or to make them. This importunity or your cor respondent led him to consstrue every thmg he saw and heard clean from its purpose. The students did not calf each other brother, and in using the word they had no reference to the clergymen. It is the college nick name of one of the students who chanced to be in the crowd. It was fastened on him more than two years ago and has stuck to him ever since. He goes by no other name with his companions, some one canea to mm, "Brother, here is a seat, " otners m speaking to hinrtised their customary appellation. Not one of them dream ed of the mortal offence he was giv- ving. Really, the pettiness of spirit manifested in even noticing such things is as unbecoming as any thing that occurred on that night. As to the other remarks that were "evidently intended to poke fun" at the preachers, I have learned but little. It seems to be almost certain that nothing was said to any minis ter or about any one until one of them made some comments on tne students or the college. This provoked a pert answer the stale joke about chick ens (or, eggs was it?) wnich a grave minister actually publishes as an in stance of "premeditated insult" to his church. If the brother, (I mean no offense,) will come over to pur church and attend a few meetings of Presby tery, he will lose all sensitiveness to xuhl joite. vme or. me mimsbtsns, im mediately after the student had been called brother,) stood up and spoke to the young men. What answer was made to him. or whether any answer was made, does not appear. 1 think it likely that there were re joinders to remarks made by differ ent ministers in different parts of the coach. But they were not distinctly remembered, ard were heard probab ly by those only who were sitting near tne speakers. ' Another of the premeditated insults was then: singing -'what seemeed to be a caricature .on Methodist songs at our revivals." Whether there was any singing in the' car is - doubtful. The majority of those present believe that there was not ; two or throe be lieve there tvas It must have been by out one or two, ana as tney were leaving the ebqeh." Outside, four or nve, tat most,) oegan singing as ' the tram was about leaving . Your cor respondent gives a stanza which be declares he heard and rAmAmkni 1 He heard, then, what was not spoken, and remembers what -never, took place. This is but : another ; instance or illusion caused by excitement of: reeling. The stanza given by him is not Known to the students. The- one sung ny them is neither better nor worse than the one published. vy netner it is a caricature 1 of any hymnl do not know. It ft "found in a song book widely circulated and-is. 58.m,v neS"Z : every ov,uuui ouu uuwrnn tne state. , ' AU;. pf- the .- mjgrereeeh&rifthn: nl for as the effects ,.o .excited feelinz and ot -unwarranted assumption ui- "t t. Ti, , rnsuii. une 'State ment hardly admits nf that airrlnn- tion. 5Tr informant Bay that ,on of the students "pointed to the rear end of the car and said 'that is the bar.' " There was no pointing: to the rear of the car. An old-fashioned sleeper had been substituted for the regular passenger coach. It was di vided into three compartments. A student went into one of them and took a drink of water. As he was standing in the door of the compart ment, some one called to him and asked, "What is that?" He answer ed, "A bar-room, I suppose." What ever indecency your correspondent intends to suggest, it is wholly his own. The gravest charge made is that of insulting ladies. Your correspondent says that several "very nice ladies" were on board ; and with a mostre freshing naivette, the Rev. C.M. Pepj per narrates that "a very accom plished young lady" was gravely m suited by the remarks . made about her, "so much so that she said to a lady friend that if one of them had spoken to her afterwards, she intend ed to spit in his face " It must, in deed, have been a grievous insult. I nave taken special pains to had out the truth on this point. For. I con f ess, I did feel some uneasiness about it. Not that for one moment I be lieved that the charge of intending to offer an insult was true, but I kuow" now young men in their jongh, thoughtless, and often reckless way frequently say and do things that wound the feelings of a rehned ladv. And I feared that something of the kind liiight have occurred here. The only comments remembered are. "This is the best looking: crowd we have seen for some time," and another of the same import. If any remarks more unbecoming than these were made, I have not heard of them, and the mass of students do not know of them. These in mv judgment, are bad enough; for all remarks on strangers or at them are vulgar. The young ladies did not re gard the behavior of the young men as insulting : certainly the gentleman on the train did not. It is inconceiv able that a crowd of gentleman could sit tamely by and see a lady insulted. The man who says that he saw any insult offered to a lady in the car here condemns himself. It has been my aim in this tedious narration not to explain away or to excuse anything improper in the con duct of those who were engaged in affair. They would not ask that of me- but to give the facts as they are, so far as I have been able to learn them. I do not wish to avert just censure. By all means, let the young men in all our schools and colleges be made to feel that public opinion holds them to a strict observance of the code of good manners, and will toler ate no transgression of it. But criti cism is one thing, calumny is another. vo misinterpret, exaggerate, and dis tort even harmless actions, to repre sent as habitual what is only occa sioned, to charge upon the whole body the faults of a few. is an injustice to which I do not propose to submit with patience. Ihe students of Davidson are young men with the faults of young men. and the fault of young men severed from home influences and collected together into a community by them ' selves, in such a community, occa sional disturbances and lawlessness are inevitable. But no school or col lege in the country is fre r from dis order and vice. A body of young men more diligent in their studies, more ra pectf ul in their behavior, more upright and manly, more prompt to acknowledge tneir raults wnen pointed out to them, and to abandon them and more ready to respond to appeals to their honor is not to be found in any. college in the land. Is it not a simple act of justice to sift all damaging reports about the college before accepting them? Would it not be well to inquire whether those are not some who have purpo ses of their own to subserve by their preaistent misrepr sentation, of the government of the college and the be havior of the students?
