should be to increase and put this col
leee on a par with the other leading
institutions of this land.
Mr.. Speer did not wish to antagonlze
the South Carolina college, but it
should be run economically. A man
should pay for higher education. He
took Ekskine college, which ran on
all income of $4,000 and graduated
about II students. He cited other
State institutions and then said that
with $4,000 the South Carolina col:
lege had graduated only two and
two halves" students. These would
! not be worth such sum to the State,
no matter who they might be.
Mr.. Rogers was friend OF the col
lege, but would be willing to cut to
sci, 900, but not below. He favored
tuition fees and thought that they
should be paid by every student.
Mr.. Bacot said that many OF the
students there now paid tuition fees
of $40 a year. Over $4,000 was paid
in fees last year.
Mr.. Blythe thought that $2l, 900 was
sufficient to meet all the expe nses for
the proper maintenance of the college.
He quoted some figures to sustain his
position.
The roll call was then demanded on
the motion to reduce to $17, 900. The
house voted as follows, tabling the
amendment:
