Meriwei Left University Bitter Di Professor Compares The Two Fan University Faculty Before War From England; Leibei How the two greatest scholars of ante-bellum South Carolina College left in bitter disappointment after long and faithful service to the institution, was related by R. L. Meriwether, professor of history, in a biographical sketch of Thomas Cooper and Francis Lieber in chapel Wednesday. Opening with a parallel of their lives Professor Meriwether brought out that they were both foreigners come to America to gain that freedom denied them in Europe, both were political scientists, both were great educators and scholars, and both served as faculty members of South Carolina College. "Cooper is acklowlcdged by every enlightened man who knows him to be the greatest man in America in the powers of his mind and in acquired information, and that without a single exception," said Thomas Jefferson when Cooper, as president of South Carolina College, was at the height of his career. <| Diamonds, Jtwelry,' Watches, Class <! j> Rings, Medals, Frat Pins and Prize |? 11 Cups of the Better Kind.
