DID YOU KNOW THAT
Some of the buildings of the
University of South Carolina
are among the most historic in
the United States.
The walls were built in 1835.
DeSaussure was built in
1804, out of the first appropria
tion after the University was
chartered in 1801. The "Old
North Building," the oldest on
the campus, is now thoroly
overhauled and renovated and
is as complete as a new build
ing.
Pinckney and Elliott were
built in 1837; Harper in ,1848,
and named after William Har
per, the first matriculate of the
University, then South Carolina
College.
Legare was erected in 1858.
The Entomological Laboratory
(1852) contained the big tele
scope which was lost in the re
adjustment of the University in
1867.
The President's home was
built in 1807. When Columbia
was burned. by Sherman during
,the war it was used as a hoe
pital for Confederate officers.
The McCutcheon--Davis resi
dence erected in 1813, suffered
considlerably from the earth
quake of 1886. Extensive re
pairs were necessary to retore
it to its former condition. The
Moore-Rucker residence was
built in 1837 at an original cost
of $10,000. The eastern half
was for many years the home
of the distinguished geologist,
Joseph LeConte; in the western
half the great economist and
publicist, Francis Lieber, wrote
the books that have made his
name illustrious. The Burney
Wauchope residence was erect
ed in 1853.
The Gymnasium (1855) was
long known as College Hall, a
chapel, but never used to any
extent for chapel purposes on
account of its bad accoustic
properties-the chemical laba
tories being connected. Here
the legislature met in 1865.
Rutledge was built in 1805
but was burned in 1855 and re
built in the same year.
The Maxcy monument
(1827) was erected by the
Clariosophic Literary Society
as a tribute to the memory of,
Jonathan Maxcy, the first pres
ident of the college. It was de
signed by Robert Mills. The
Latin inscription was the work
of Professor Robert Henry, af
ter an English inscription fur
nished by George McDuffie.
The Library (1840) is the
first separate library building
erected at any institution of
learning in America. It pre
cedes Harvard's by one year.
All dormitories were built to
accommodate students com
fortably. The present arrange
ment of a suite of three rooms.
study room and two adjoining
bedrooms, to each two students
was planned in advance of the
tendency of the times. Modern
college dormitories seldom pro
vide such comforts and con
veniences.
GROWTH OF LAW SCHOOL.
The Law School of the Uni
versity is growing steadily in
size and prestige. For the past
12 years the increased growth
in the number of students and
also in the standard of work
done has been gratifying to the
University authorities. From
1916-18, inclusive, the enroll
ment fell off considerably on ac
count of war conditions.
The following shows the
growth of the Law School with
in comparatively recent years,
