SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE.
Expansion of Its Workand Its Splendid Fa-
Cllities.

For three generations Oh men -Lne
South Carolina College has wrought its
great work for the unifcation and pro-
perity Of the Rtate. For three gener-
atiops her sons have honored their alma
mater by useful lives and splendid citi-
zenship, aud today, in the character
and strength of the members al its
faculty and in the variety and thorouh-
ness of its literary scientific and law
law courses, it stands eminent; ii the
quality of it's work it is the peer OF any
university OF the South. A variety of
courses leading to the several baccal-
aureate degrees in Arts, ScieIce. Law,
Engineering Civil and Electrically. and
Pedagogy, is offered, with the most lib
eral choice OF studies and the widest
possible elective opportunity. The fac
ulty has recently enlarged and increas-
ed the facilisies for postgraduate work,
and placed the opportunity for such ad-
vanced university study within reach
of all who may desire it and who can
not 60 out of the State 20 obtain it. Ey-
cry year the College has number of
studentsworking for postgraduate de-
grees.
Its chemical, biological, and physical
laboratories are well equipped and
have each a masler teacher at its head:
and the College library, with its 5000
volumes, is the delight OF a Students
heart.
The College offers special induce
ments to ambitious young men and we
men in its generous provision for the
conferring of scholarships on meritor-
ious students at the close of each ses-
sion. Five of these scholarships are
conferred upon distinguished members
of the Freshman Class: four in the
Sophomore Class, and three in the Juni-
or Glass. In addition to these scholar
ships, by an Act of the General Assemb-
ly in 1904, two Special Normal Scholar
ships for men teachers are given to
each county in the State, the value Of
each being equivalent to 9S. This gift
cannot be regarded as a charity-far
from it. The money will be paid back
to the Statea thousand fold in the bet
terment of the common schools OF the
State, which are established and main
taned solely for the purpose Tor should
bel of rearing good citizens-men and
women whose lives shall be devoted TO
the common veal. The men who hon
estly accept these scholarships are not
accepting charity, but are simply being
partly paid in advance for the hard
work. the self-sacrifce, the grind to
which they subject themselves for the
good of the State.
The teaching force of the faculty
numbers seventeen professors, adjunct
professors, and instructors, each of whom
is specialist in his own department,
and has enjoyed the finest advantages
offered in the great universities Of this
country or Europe. The president facul-
cy, and students are working together
harmoniously and as unit tor the good
of the College.
Cn the 18th day oflast March Prof. r.
Mean Davis, Professor OF History and
Political Science, the great teacher,
the big-hearted man, the model citizen.
His loss to the College and to the State
is incalculable, At its meeting in June
the Board of Trustees elected as his
successor Prof. Gordon B. Moore, a Air
giniar by birth and South Caolinian
BY years of service. Prof. Moore is a
gentleman and a scholar, q man OF high
Character OF grent mental strength and
vigor, and of long experience in sue
cessful teaching. He also has worthy
reputation as great Baptist preacher.
The Chair of Adjunct Professo OF
English has also been established and
Mr.. H. C. Davis, a South Carolinian
and graduate of the South Carolina
College, and lasl session teacher OF
English in the University OF Washing
ton, at Seattle, was in June elected to
to fill this chair. The College is to be
congratulated upon securing his SER
vices. His success as a teacher IS as
sured.
The advantage offered to the young
men of the State by such an institution
are invaluable
