Mr. Calhoun's wish that his home

State for purposes of education.
1t has come to the State for pur-
poses of education. II has come
to the State through Mr. Clemson
from Mr. Calhoun.
The visitor at Clemson college
sees nothing to connect the insti-
tuition with the name of Calhoun
outside of the Calhoun mansion.
There should be ut least portrait
Of Calhoun in the chapel. Better
still, there should be a statute of
