SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE.
Expansion Of lis Work and its Splendid
Facilities.

For three generations Of men the
South Carolina College has wrough.
its great work for the unication and
prosperity Of the State. or three
generations her sons have honorcd
their alma mater by useful lives and
splendid citizenship, and to-day, in
the character and strength Of the
members of It's faculty and in the
variety and thoroughness Of its litcrery,
scientific, and law courses, it stands
eminent in the quality Of its work it
is the peer of any university Of the
South. a variety Of courses leading
to the several baccalaurcate degrees
in Arts, Science, Law, Engineering
Civil and f,lcctricaD, and Pedagogy,
is offered, with the most liberal choice
of studies and the widest possible
elective opportunity. The faculty
has recently enlarged and increased
the facilities for post graduate work
and has placed the opportunity Tor
such advanced university study with
in reach Of all who may desire it, and
who cannot go out Of the State to OBJ
tain it. Every year the College has a
number Of students working for post
graduate degrees.
It's chemical, biological, and physi-
cal laboratories are we'll equipped and
have each master teacher at its
head; and the College library, with its
$4,000 volumes, is the delight Of a
students heart.
The College offers special induce
ments to ambitious young men and
women in its generous provision for
the comforting Of scholarships on
meritorious students at the close Of
each session. Five Of these scholar
ships arc conferred upon distinguish
ed members of the Freshman Glass;
four in the Sophomore Glass, and
three in the Junior Glass. In addi-
tion to these scholarships, by an Act
of the General Assembly in 1901, two
Special Normal Scholarships, for
men teachers, are given to each coun-
ty in the State, the value Of each
being equivalent to s9S. This gift
can aot be regarded as charity-far
from it. The money will be paid back
10 the State a thousand fold in the
betterment of the common schools of
the State, which are established and
maintained solely for the purpose (or
should beg Of rearing good citizens
men and women whose lives shall be
devoted to the common veal. The
men who honestly accept these
scholarships are not accepting charity,
but are simply being partly paid in
advance for the hard work, the self
sacrifice, the grind to which they sub
ject themselves for the good of the
State.
The teaching force of the faculty
numbers seventeen professors, adjunct
professors, and instructors, each of
ewhom is specialist in his own de-
partment, and has enjoyed the finest
advantages offered in the great uni
gerei!ies Of this eogntry or Europe.
The president, faculty and students
are working together tremendously
and as . unit for the good of the Col
lege.
Un the 18TH day Of last March Pref
R. Means Davis, Professor of History
and Political Science, the great teach
er, the big-hearted man, the model
citizen, died. His loss to the College
and to the State is incalculable. At
the meeting in June the Board of
Trustees elected as his successor Prof.
Gordon B. Moore, Virginian by
birth and South Carolinian by
years Of service. Professor Moore is
q gentleman and scholar, man Of
high character, ID great mental
strength and vigor, and Of long expert.
enoe in successful tescEing. He also
has q worthy reputation as great
Baptist preacher.
The Chair Of Adjutant Professor Of
English has also been established, and
Mr.. H. G. Davis, South Carolinian
and graduate Of the South Carolina
College, and last session teacher Of
English in. the University of Wash.
ington. at Seattle, was in June elect
ed to fill this chair. The College is to
be congratulated upon securing his
services. His success as teacher is
assured.
The advantages offered to the young
men Of the State by such an institu-
fion are invaluahia
