College 'show? acne or tb? deereptnole tt ?Jd ase, but rather Increasing algara ot vigorous life. A new departure cf gruat importance to the College and to the State baa Just been Inaugurated. Por Bona? years the College has baa a department of pedagogy, for the traia (ng of teachers; but last winter, for the first time, the Legislature created a number of endowed normal scholar ships, one for each county. It la the intention of the Trustees and Faculty to set these scholarships upon a high plano, and to seek thereby to qualify suncrtor young men for posltkonfl of leadership und influence in our public schools. However largely women may. bc employed aa teachers, the work of superintendence, direction and control must continue to be most largely in th? hands of the men; and lt ia to supply these teachers of leadership and In fluence, in thc community aa well as In the schools, that the College will chiefly aim, through these scholarships. Hence, no young man under nineteen years ot agc will be eligible, and preference will be given to those applicants who have already taught with success for at Usant one year. * A special and technical course af study has been established, on a high yet practical plane; and lt is Intended that this department shall be worthUy entitled to be called a "College for Tcochera." All .the work will be dls lUii lively normal, and apart from the roy ular College classes. Thc Trustees and Faculty feel sure that lu preparing a body of strong and well equipped men teachers thc College will aid in supplying one of thc most important needs of the State. They hope, also, that this work, in its success and its resulto, may meet with such public ap proval as to lead hereafter to Ile still further enlargement. Circulars have been issued giving the details 'if regulations and course of study. tP The present " session, now nearly ended, has been very encouraging.

The'South Carolina College In round lng out tho flrst century of its existent-* and will celebrate its centennial lu Jun uary, 1905. The College was couriered In 1801 and opened for active work ii; January, 1S05. lt owes Its -xi? lenee ti a patriotic purpose, thc education ot all the youth of the Stute nt a coimnon i center, "in order to promote the in ' struction, the good order and ttic hur ? mony of the whole community/' and I'. I waa built from a. portion ot the pro ceeds of a reimbursement made by the Dulled States to South Carolina for ex penses Incurred lu thc Revolution. Dur ing the century that la closing the Col lege has contributed largely to tin ?tatcr-mannhlp, the patilotlam, the learning and the high moral standards that have prevailed In South Carolina sud her sister States. Tho roll of Col lege Alumni contains the names nf men who have become noted in all the pur- ' suits of life, both in peuce and war. Tb? exigcnclen of the struggle between the States closed the college In 1SC3, and >the buildings were uned as hospi tals for sick and wounded Confederates. But as coon as peuce wa? restored the Institution was reopened by the "Orr government" and enjoyed several years of success until lt was overturned dur ing the Radical regime. Since 1880, how ever, the college han been continuously open, and has educated hundreds of yoong men and n nuinhcr of young women, who for some years have been permitted to partake of its advantages. Originally the College was known as a literary Institution, although from early times its faculty contained scien tists of great ability, but of late years its courses have broadened out so as to embrace also technical scientific in struction, inst ruction lu law and a course tn practical methods for teach ers. ? President Benjamin Sloan, thc head of the Department of Phyairs and En< gtneering, ls a graduate of West Point, uid was a distinguished oulcer of ord nance during the war between the States. His graduates In engineering are npw occupying most responsible positions In different parts of thc United Btatcs. Professor Joseph Daniel Pope, denn of the Law Department, bas bad wide experience in government in tba. legislative halls of 'the State and In the Secession Convention, and ls recognised as high authority In law and in equity Jurisprudence. Some of the other mera bora of the faculty have had dis tinguished careers In this College, while billers have brought to lt the best methods of colleges and universities elsewhere. ?
