Fifty Years for Tpo Great and
GroWinQ Universities

Attention is drawn by the publication of
"Semi-centennial Anniversary Book to the fact
that the University of Nebraska sfgnalized by
its last commencement the completion of 50
years since its founding, The anniversary book,
it is explained by Miss Louise Pound, who COM
piled and edited it, is made up OF articles hastily
but intended to give fair reflex of the progress
OF the university during its first haf-Century
period AS usual in such cases a great deal
more space is devoted to the beginnings and
more emphasis placed upon the pioneers of the
different activities than upon what has come
later.
There is no doubt of course that our state
university has grown far and away beyond the
widest dreams or fondest expectation Of those
who laid the foundations. The truth is if we
are frank enough to admit it, the university was
scarcely more than high school academy
during the first 20 years of its existence
necessarily so because there neither the
student nor the faculty material to make posi-
Bile anything more pretentious From the early
9OS, however, it began to come to itself
that properly belongs to higher education.
Today it is again in a transition state through
the process OF rebuilding. which will doubtless
be accompanied followed by further re-
ganizaon and expansion. The University of
Nebraska is young, even among American uni
versltles, and our state. although it has always
taken great pride in its high rank for small
illiteracy, will constantly set greater store upon
education and special training for its future
citizens.

1t is worth noting that at the same time that
the University of Nebraska was celebrating its
sem-centennial, so likewise was Cornell unver-
sity, which is also land grant institution that
was started out just 50 years ago. Its founder,
Ezra Cornell as we'll as Sage, who was asso-
ciated with him, helped swell the fortune which
helped to endow Cornell through the enterprise
of building up the Pacific telegraph, in which
they were engaged i'll con junction with Edward
Creighton, who, as we know, also made i'm
portant requests to promote higher education
in the university founded as his memorial here
in Omaha. Cornell is almost state university
for the state of New York, beautifully laid out
the plateau overlooking Cayuga lake, an
ideal spot for such school, If Cornell has
reached the very highest rank in its 50 years
much of the credit must be given the exceptional
succession of men who have been at the direct
ing helm. first Andrew D. White, then Charles
Kendall Adams who later went to the Univer
sity of Wisconsin, and for the last half of the
period. Jacob Gould Schurman, who must now
be one of the oldest, if not the oldest, in point
of tenure of our American university heads.
Cornell has a large company of influential al
umni hereabouts, who are rightfuly proud of
their alma mater.

The anniversary book includes personal
sketches of past chancellors. beginning with
Chancellor Benton, and going down list of
Fairfield, Manatt, Garfield and Andrews, but
has only incidental reference to Chancellor Nc
Lean, and to the present head, Chancellor
Avery. | take it that the sketches are inserted
on the theory that they are combination of
eulogy and obituary, and that these two are left
out because they still alive but they really
belong to the first half-century much as do
the others. DR.. Garfield was chancellor when
| first in touch with the university. and a
busy, bustns> pushing man he was. He was
all organizer, but also, as | used to tell him.
sort OF educational drummer. He went up and
down the state to let the people know what kind
OF an institution he was in charge of and what
he trying to do with it and travelled so fast
he got ahead of the chariot. He went from Ne
braska to Ohio State university, and then to
Columbia where he served as librarian until he
died. The next chancellor, George E. MacLean,
had been but briefly installed when I ap
pointed to a short term the board of regents.
DR.. MacLean was polished gentleman of the
old school. not so rough and ready as his
predecessor. but smooth and diplomatic in fact.
| thought sometimes, too diplomatic in avoid
ing responsibilities that he could conveniently
get away from. He nevertheless unquestonably
raised the educational standard of the teaching
and made a real contribution in divesting the
university of some of its grammar grade and
high school appendages Chancellor MacIean
was at last accounts living in retirement in
Brooklyn.

land holdings and had commenced a
prosperous and promising mercantile
business. Mr.. Taylor spent the re-
mainder of his days in farming and
the mercantile business, he finally be-
ing succeeded in the latter by his son,
1t was the one and great desire of
the late Mr.. Taylor to found town
on the spot where he had settled back
in the woods in 1872. To this end he
would practically give any good citi-
zen a lot, provided he would build a
decent house and live in the town. No
other man gave more assistance nor
put forth any greater effort in furth-
ering Mr.. Taylor's scheme along this
line than Mr.. 7. w. Boyle, who is
classed by most as Greelyville's lead
ing citizen at the present day. Mr..
Taylor, owning practically all the
land where the present town site is,
took great pleasure in donating the
land for the present system of streets,
as we'll as the land for the school
houses and churches. These two men
were principally responsible for the
fine beautifully shaded streets which
the town now affords and they always
cooperated fully in any matters per-
tanning first to the laying off and
building of the town and later to the
development and uplift of the town
and community.
Mr.. T. w. Boyle first came to this
town 1886, when it was then known
as Taylor's Still and only a flag stop
on the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad,
which railroad was built through
this section in 1880. Mr.. Boyle first
went to work with the saw mill Of
Hogan & Hogan, which commenced
the manufacture of yellow pine lum-
Der in 1885, and a few months later
upon the death CT Mr.. Samuel Hogan,
went into the firm, which was then
called Boyle & Hogan, which contin-
ued under this name for five years
when Mr.. f. G. Mallard went into
the firm and the style of the firm was
changed to the Mallard Lumber Com
pany, it being mutually agreed to
name the company after the oldest
member, and the concern has gone
under this name until the present day,
Mr.. T. w. Boyle, being Vive-Presi-
dent. Mr.. Boyle takes great pleasure
in stating that when he came to the
present spot of Greelyville that there
was only one store and two dwellings
here, the nearest school being five
miles away and the nearest telegraph
office and stop for passenger trains
being Foreston, distance of six miles.
Mr.. BOYLE has developed into one of
the most public spirited and progress
sive men not only of his own town
and community but is we'll known in
many ways throughout the entire

the past few months it would hardly
be justice to the town to eliminate
the mention of the modern general
mercantile establishment of the En-
terprise Mercantile Company, in con-
nection with which ,i.ey have install
ed an up-to-date refrigeration sys-
tenn, worthy of town many times
the size of Greelyville, and also a
modern restaurant, all under the same
roof and management. This concern
owns its own farm of several hundred
acres, on which they expect to raise
good line of beef cattle for their
own market. Under this same head,
it is only correct to call attention to
the new $4,000, addition and i'm

Due to the fact, that the land on
which the present town of Greely-
vile is located was purchased forty
five years ago for one dollar per acre,
making a total of $4,000 for the
tract of land, which now comprises
the city limits, and which same
amount of land together with all i'm
provements is now worth in the neigh
borhood of million and half dol
lars, would really be an astounding
and remarkable statement to fake but
for the fact that this wonderful
growth is only a fair representation
of how this section of the old Palmet-
to State and our beautiful Southland
is going forward in leaps and bounds.
However, Greelyville has really made
wonderful progress and at a great
deal more rapid pace than some OF
our other towns and communities in
Williamsburg and surrounding coun-
ties.
The little city is located on the
high and healthful ridge Of fertile
land lying between the Black and
Santee rivers, being also on the main
line of the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road between Sumter and Charleston
and is, therefore, the natural outlet
for the varied agricultural products
grown on this probably as fertile and
productive, land as lies within the
state.
The population, totaling about
twelve hundred, is made up of pros
porous, law abiding, progressive citi-
zens, who are ever looking to the i'm
provement of their town in every way
possible and all are striving and ex-
pecting to progress much more rapid
" in the future than in the past.
In 1872 the late Mr.. Samuel j..
Taylor came to the present site OF
Greelyville and formed co-partner-
ship with Mr.. S. J. Hutsor for the
purpose of manufacturing turpentine
and rosin and proceeded to purchase
several hundred acres of fine timber
land. Mr.. Taylor later bought out Mr..
Hutson's interest in the turpentine
firm and took in his brother-in-law,
Mr.. w. S. Warner, who remained
with him until his death. Mr.. Taylor
was natural born naval stores man
and his experience in the business
met with marked success, thereby
forming the foundation of his estate.
After fifteen years in the turpentine
business, his local supply of timber
being exhausted, he gave up his orr
ginal intention of removing his turpen-
tine equipment and setting up else
where, but preferred to remain at his
present home, which by now he had
become very much attached to, both
sentimentally and on account of the
fact that he had acquired very large
