South Carolina College, at its last an
nual meeting, commissioned the un-
dersigned committee to prepare an ao-
dress to the alumni.
For nearly one hundred years the
South Carolina College has been the
educational centre of this State. Much
that is grand, many glorious lives are
recalled by its name. No village or
hamlet in South Carolina, however OBJ
scure, has been beyond its influence !;
its graduates have done much to make
the history Of the State great and TO
keep it so; around its past cling
many tender memories. Its ancient
reputation must be maintained, and
this support should come with all the
strength and influence Of two thousand
alumni. who are useful citizens of this
State.
