Closed in 1862, when its stu dents were gone to the battle field and its buildings .were converted into a confederate hos pital, the historic South Car olina Coliege was reopened in 1866, now as the University by Act passed December 19, 1865, (anniversay of the orignial charter), and young soldiers, returned from War, flocked to her halls to take up their de ferred scholastic training. Until 1873 the University did a great work educsting such men as Joseph W. Barnwell, Dr. Gyll Wylie, and Prof. Means Davis. The dark days of Radicalism passed, it-was reopened in 1880, as a College of Agriculture and' Mechanics, supported by the% income of the Federal land scrip, and in 1882, the Legislatur having made an appropriaion, and the faculty having- been) greatly enlarged it began its new life under its distinguished President, Dr. John M.McBryde,, who is now so sueces'sful at the ead of the Virginia Polytechnic ind has lately declired the presi lency of the TJniversity of Vit ginia. In the legislotion of 1865,1 ind 1879, and 1881, for the re pening of tne College after the War, the leader was Charles H. 3imonton, a first honor graduate, mnd, like DeSaussure, who led in he founding of the College ,a reat jurist. The semi.-centennial was cele rated Decemper 4, 185.1 ,in con ection with the commencement, which before the war'was always ield in December, the session )peing in January as from the beginning. Sijce the Legislature was in session in December, and ihere 'was great pride of State uAia devotion to the . State Ol egeiB most of Legisltols being Nlinthe commencement was d. aagreat State function, the ting in a.body k great commencemenit occasion At which Dr. James H. Thornwell President, addresse4 the gradq ting class, and James L. Pet bigru was centenuial orator. How iuspiring to every stndeut whose fortune it was to be in the College at that time! It so happens that, the time of meeting of the Legislature hav ing been changed by the Consti tution of 1895, and the secs and Tuesday in January, 1905, falling on the 10tn day, the actual centennial day of the Col lege will 'witness very much the same scene characteristic of the ante-bellnm commencements of the South Carolina College: the Legislature will be present in the spital angi can attend the elebration in a body, w;th Judges and State ofitlers, as in the days of old. -Thus the ceremonies will be the' most impressive ever witnessed by this generation of South Carolinians. Truly it~ will be a privilege to be a sadent of the South Carolina College in the sssign of 1904-5.' The .universities and' collegas of the United States, and espe cially the colleges and schools within the State, will be invited to send representatives and all living alumnpi will be expected to' be present.
