LIBRARIES ARE 'STUDENT PRIDE AT UNIVERSITY RECEIVE 150 PERIODICALS Abney Memorial, Joynes Memo rial and Law Are the Largest There is no feature or facility at the University of South Carolina of which its students are prouder than that of the main library and the departmental libraries on the compus. First of all, the main library, near the intersection of Pendleton and Sum ter streets, is the oldest separate library building at any intsitution of learning in America. This building was erected in 1840. Quite naturally, on account of its age, it contains a number of very old books, and books that are now out of print. One of the special features of the main library is the Caroliniana, an al cove of books written exclusively by South Carolinians and on subjects in South Carolina. Literature, art, and history of the Palmetto state are all to be found in the alcove. In the east basement are to be found numerous bound volumes and loose bulletins issued by the United States governnient. Among these are the re ports of Congress and special bulletins issued by the goverment printing of fice. Besides the governmental mater ial there are also various bound vol umes of the publications of the Car negie and Smithson'an institutions. Along with these are reports and trans actions of various historical, literary, and scientific societies and output from the greater universities. In the west basement are housed the numerous volumes of bound periodicals and strictly scientific books. The lib brary is the recipient of one hundred and fifty monthly, weekly, and daily periodicals and newspapers. At the end of each year these are bound an.l filed along with the bindings of prev ious years. Of the daily newspaper., all the files of the State and New York Times may 4ge found here. Besides the main library there are also separate libraries in the depart ments of Law, Education, Geology, Chemistry, Engineering, Modern lan guages, Ancient languages, Commerce, Bible, Rural Social Science, and Biolo gy. Over fifteen thousand volumes are to be found in the departmental lib raries alone.

C. - U.s.c. - largest is the Abney Memorial. Th's collection is housed in Petigru college, on the second floor. These books were collected by, and were the property of the late Benjamin Lindsey Abney. At his death, Col. John R. Abney, his brother, donated the whole library to the University. This collection coi tains about ten thousand volumes, legai and literary. In the same building as the Abney Memorial is housed the Law library. The Abney Memorial may be consid ered, in one sense, a part of the Law library since it contains so many legal books, and is in the same building as that of Law. In addition to the Abney collection, the Law library contains more than five thousand volumes. In the department of Modern lan guages, Teutonic and Romance, is the large collection of books presented by the late Edward S. Joynes, formerly professor of Modern languages at the University. During his life time, Pro fessor Joynes collected many valuable books for his library, and some time before his death presented them to the! University. After his death this col lect'on became known as the Edward S. Joynes Memorial Library. At present nearly all the depart mental libraries are in the different classroom buildings on the . campus. Upon the completion of the new ex tension wings on the main library it is planned to move all the books in the departmental libraries back into th-! main library. The wings being coa structed at present, will probably be finished by the opening of the first semester, in 1927.
