Durham, May 28—Following its organization two weeks ago, the society formed by Duke University students to protest educational restriction through legislation, has grown until it now numbers 300 members.
Students announced their intention of opposing all organized effort which might restrict the teaching of science in North Carolina educational institutions. Plans are now underway by the society—which the students call Schola Caveat—to hold a State convention for the purpose of organizing similar society in North Carolina and other states.
Just how Schola Caveat began is not definitely known. It was rather a spontaneous thing, several hundred students suddenly conceiving the idea simultaneously. Organization was probably expedited, it is believed, by recent efforts in this state to arouse opposition to the teaching of science, insofar as it applies to the creation of man.
Editor’s note: Schola Caveat is Latin and means “Let the school beware.”
