Education: Take Him Away

‘Take Him Away’

Last week, the students of North Georgia Agricultural College (Dahlonega, Ga.) took stock of their condition. It was evident to them that the college was “on a decline.” Morale was lowering, proceeding toward the dogs of disruption. The guardian who should have been standing in the way, President M. B. Dubose, seemed empty of aid, impotent. “Investigate and take this man away,” the students unanimously petitioned the trustees. Staving desperately, President Dubose threatened “no diplomas,” “summary dismissal.” He was ignored. The investigation was expected. “Whether President Dubose goes or not,” thought observers, “it is the undoubted right of the taught to scrutinize their teachers.”
