The Clariosophic literary society secured a charter of incorporation from the legislature in December 1820. Professors at the University used to purchase books for the library when they were travelling abroad. Blacking the faces of freshmen was once a means of introducing them to college life. In 1848 it was an offense for a student to keep in his room or in Columbia any "pistol, dirk, sword cane, bowie knife, or other deadly weapon." Students were bound to join the Clariosophic or Fuphradian literary societies, according to the counties from which they came. If a student wa:; convicted of hav ing blown a horn or trumpet or beating a drum and disturbing the quiet, he could be dismissed from the University.
