VOL. VI. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., APRIL 19, 1913. No. 25.
DR. S. C. MITCHELL GOES
TO RICHMOND TOWN
Read of University Accepts
Presidency Medical College.
After Four Years' Successful Work
in Carolina Great Educator
Returns to Virginia.
Dr. Mitchell, who for the past
four years has so efficiently presided
over this institution, on last Satur
(lay formally accepted the presi
dency of the Meldical College of Vir
ginia, which has recently merged
with the University Coll.ege of
Medicine. He will enter upon his
duties there next fall. The position
was tendered Dr. Mitchell several
weeks ago, andcl it is understood that
he reached a decision to accept the
honor about t wo weeks ago. The
announcement of his acceptance was
made at a banquet given to the
student bodies of the two medical
institutions by the Board. of Ad
visers, with Dr. Mitchell as the
guest of honor.
The losing of Dr. Mitchell by the
University and the State brings re
gret to every South Carolinian who
wishes for the progress of the Uni
versity and the uplift of education
al conditions in the State. Dr.
Mitchell has sought to make the
University a real and practical cen
ter of culture. He has brought the
high schools of the State into a
close touch with the University,
making the University a vital edu
cational factor throughout the en
tire State. He has caused its influ
ence to be felt in every section by
extension lectures and other devices.
Dr. Mitchell came to the Univer
sity at the beginning of the scholas
tic year 1908-1909. He was elected
to succeed Maj. Benj. Sloan, who
had resigned to retire from active
work.
Dr.. Mitchell, at the time of his
election, was a professor in Rich
mond College, but the year previous
to his coming here he spent at
Brown University, where he lec
tured during a leav'e of absence from
R ich miond College. \Vhen Dr.
Mitchell came her-e, the UJniversity
had 285 students, and as he leaves
here to take up his duties in Vi
ginia, the University has wvell over
500 studlents registered. This re
nmarkable growth tells in itself of
the wvork (lone by Dr. Mitchell.
