The South Carolina College.

In publishing the action of the Board ol
Trustees, VIC design to give simply copy oi
the resolutions rs adopted. That in relation to
the proposed reorganization Of tho institution
on the University plan, seems liable to mis-
construction. The resolution met with the
general acquicsccncc Of tho Board, and wa.
referred to the Committee to report a project al
the meeting in November next-the action q
course will not be final until tho report of the
Committee is ncted upon. Col. w. C. Preston,
who introduced the resolution, authorises US ito
notice what he said Mt the Board for public
consideration.
We understood him. in offering his resolu.
ton, to say that it was expedient to make es.
sential notifications in the educational sys.
tenn of the South Carolina College-that he
proposed the establishment of fourteen schools,
or professorships- professor to have a sal.
nry of one thousand dollars, and to receve
ten dollars from each student entering his
tion to his fixed salary-so that one' hundrsl
students entering the school Of a professor
would give him an income of $4,000, and so
on.
The number of students would thus depend
upon tho reputation, ability and attractive.
ness Of the professor, and make Ills en- olu-
ment commensurate with his merit. This stin'.
uious of interest Mr. Preston thought dcsira.
ble for the professors. while tho moderate sal.
ary would relieve tho enterprise from the
character of mere risk. This Mr.. T.. said,
wns the plan ut the University of Edinburg.
Each studen. matriculated in the College
should be required to enter in at least three
$l5 for tliS5yhols course, while the student
continues inECollege, securing to him the priv
ileges of the Library, apparatus, and use Of
the rooms.
Thus the perhfnnent appropriation for four
teen professorships would be $4,000 The
matrculation fee for SEQ students would give
$4,000, which would be enough to keep the
three sehools $50. and th6fee of matricuation,
sio. would be less thar: n:tAe tuition charge now
paid. The public appropriation would be d.
minished $4,000, and the charges nPgn the
students ten per cent. The following were DIS
suggestions, as to the schools: sl
!. A School of Law.
Q. OF OfMedicine.
8. OfNatnral Philosophy.
f. OfNatural History.
5. OF Mathematics.
8. OF Engineering.
z. or Chemistry. ~

8, IL. OF Greek and Latin. -
II. OF Hebrew and CognatefiaqRuages.
ID. Of French, German and Mtern Lam
guages
II. 0fMoral Philosophy and Metaphysics
The selection Of these schools would be- vol
untory. and without any prerequisites except of
moral standing.
The standing Of the students IN their respec.
tive schaols would be ascsrtsined by two yearly
