William D. Melton, one Of .he best
known and ablest lawyers Ia South
Carolina and one Of the leading busi-
ness men of Columbia, was unani-
mously elected president OF the Uni
verisity of South Carolina to succeed
DR.. William Spencer Currell, who had
resigned at the January meeting of
the board Of trustees. MIR. Melton
accepted the presidency.
Mr.. Melton will assume the duties
of president sometime between July 1
and September l and will abandon all
his business and professional activi-
ties, devoting his entire time to up

Concurrently with the election of
Mr.. Melton as president Of the univer-
sity, the trustees elected DR.. Currell
dean Of the recently created graduate
school. DR.. Currell will become the
head Of the graduate school just as
soon as Mr. Melton assumes the office
of president and he expects to have
the school well organized and equip
ped by the next scolastic year. This
school was created by the legislature
at the recent session.
Mr.. Melton, the president elect, is
man of large business and profess
sional affairs and in accepting the
proffer Of the trustees told the board
that he wanted to take up the new
work as early as possible and would
arrange matters as quickly as he
could.
The new president was president OF

192O-21.
In accepting the resignation Of DIR.
Currell the trustees expressed their
highest esteem for the, work the re-
tifing president has done and in

of the board, to convey the boards es-
TEEN to DR.. Currell by letter.
In casting about for successor to
DR.. Currell the board had two ideas
In view, to find man who would
measure up to the requirements OF a
real university executive and a man
Of high culture and character. These,
members of the board said, are be-
lieved to be embodied in the president
elect.
DR.. Currell, the retiring president,
assumed the office Of the presidency
in 1914 and since his administration
the university has made much prog
ress, both in scholarship and attend
ance.
Ncr. Melton, in his acceptance, told
the members of the board that he
would burn all his business bridges
behind him and would devote his en-
tire time to the affairs Of the univer'
sity; that he would do all in his power
to increase and broaden it's influence
and make it a real vital force In the
state. The members of the board OF
trustees pledged to him their entire
support and cooperation in the large
task ahead OF him.
No other man was given consider
alton at the meeting than Mr.. Melton
who was in no sense candidate. The
board, as expressed by each member,
was of the opinion that he filled all
the qualifications making for high
class executive.
