Green J writing in the State, South Carolina t alumni weren't so "timid" back in the "eighties." 2 Dueling was practiced by these f early students as a means of settling i personal differences. Dr. Green says ] two students once had a duel over a dish of trout, one being mortally 1 wounded. Present day students do not have duels, they toss up a coin to see ] who "gets the trout, girl, or the date." ^ A law was made which read "A stu- ] dent shall be distinguished by wearing short hair, blue coats, and round hats." ( Sounds like a German Club initiation. 1 Carolina's illustrious graduates had < to undergo the strict rules and regu- , lations of military life if they happened to be students in the "fifties." In 1 1857, according to Dr. Green, the riot ] of 1857 occurred. University students broke into the armory and seized their guns and marched up town in an angry mood. Only the pleas of several leading citizens prevented bloodshed. They had literary societies in those hectic days and desperate were the , contests waged between them. Every | victory, however, was celebrated by the process of wine suppers. And when it snowed, a holiday was declared! O, for the life of the alumni! U. 8. o.
