This is the last issue of Tim.
GA\MECOCK until the commencement
number,. which comes out the last
week of the collegiate year.
Ere the last issue makes its ap
pearance the students of C. F. W.
and C. C. will have finished their
work and bidden us farewell. Be
fore you go let us congratulate you
for all the successes you have
achieved during the past year.
Since our coming together last Sep
tember the hospitality of your stu
dent bodies and faculties has af
forded us many afternoons of de
lightful entertainment. The recitals
and receptions at both the College
for Women and Columbia College
have always been looked forward to
with eager anticipation, and our
only "kick" has been that they were
not more numerous. We wish for
each of you the pleasantest of vaca
tions, and may next September find
us all at our posts in college.
The collegiate. year has almost
ended and our thoughts are of the
coming vacation. When we lay
aside our books the first of June let's
every man resolve to do what he can
in his neighborhood to get the col
lege prospects there interested in
Carolina. There is no reason wvhy
we should not have six or eight hun
dIred students here when Carolina
opens next session; it is simply u~p
to the men of Carolina whether this
shall be or not. There are many
things at Carolina and in Columbia
that makes college life here attrac
tive. As an institution wve are daily
growing greater. With this growth
'there must come an increase of stu
dents, and it is the privilege of each
member of the present student body
to help get this increase. Take a
catalogue home wvith you, so that
you can answer any question that
might be asked you. Let's every-.
body boost and pull for a greater
Carolina.
Sketch of the Law School.
The school of law in the Univer
sity of South Carolina. was estab
lishe'd in 1884, with the election of
Joseph Daniel Pope as professor of
law. The beginnings of the school
were small, there being but one pro
fessor and eight students during the
opening session. The law library
and equipment in general was ex
ceedingly meagre. Only the person
ality of Professor Pope placed the
school in a respectable class. His
was a most wonderful character,
and he inspired all his students with
a love of, and respect for, the law
that has proved lasting. He en
thused them with something of his
own spirit, which was ordered and
directed by the high sense of per
sonal honor characteristic of a
period several generations past. It
.was this splendid Southern lawyer
and publicist of the old regime who,
denied the material equipment else
where considered indispensable, yet
contrived to teach law and to teach
it successfully. Around his mem
ory cluster all the traditions of the
school.
The school gradually grew during
the lifetime of Prof. Pope until in
1901 it became necessary to provide
for an adjunct professor of law.
This position was filled by the elec
tion of M. Herndon Moore, one of
the leading younger members of the
Columbia bar, and an alumnus of
the school, he having graduated with
the class of 1887. Professor Moore
was a very important addition to the
faculty, and up to his death in iio
lie gave the school his closest atten
tion and carefully trained his stu
dents in the science of the law.
With the addition of Prof. Moore
began a more rapid expansion of the
school. In 1906 it was necessary to
add again to the faculty. John P.
Thomas, Jr., also of the Columbia
bar, was chosen. This brought the
number of teachers up to three, as
at present. Further changes in the.
personnel of the faculty were the
election of Professors J. Nelson
Frierson and Professor E. Marion
Rucker, in 1908 and in 1910, to
supply vacancies caused by the
deaths of Professors Pope and
Moore.
The faculty as now constituted is
a well selected and successful corps
of instructors, wvho suppllemient each
other in the~ir work in an almost per
fect manner. They are rapidly
building tip at Carolina a law school
of which the State may wvell be
proud. The present session shows
an increase in attendance of forty
per cent. This only accentuates the
need of further additions and im
p)rovemlents.
It is gratifying to ,know that
whereas this has not as yet become
a large law school it has graduated
a great number of large lawyers.
The influence of the founder still
persists.
M. A. Miller, class '09, was on
the campus a few (lays last week.
Jacob Thomas Barron, class '05,
with his bride, is visiting his rela
tives in. Columbia for a few days.
Mr. Barron has been for the past
several years with the Public Service
Electric Company of New Jersey,
and is now a superintendent in the
operating department, with head
quarters in Elizabeth, N. J. He
married, on May 8, the handsome,
elegant daughter of Lieut. Col. and
Mrs. Henry F. Brewerton of Eliza
beth, N. J.
The group studying Mott's "De
cisive Hour and Christian Missions"
met in Flinn Hall Monday night.
The meeting was very interesting,
the topic for discussion being the
providing of an adequate home base
for the foreign mission work of the
church. At the close of the meeting
refreshments were served.
