Alumni Comment
Clarence Wilson Henry, '41E,
now in the U. S. Army, writes from
Alaska: "During my stay at the
University, I took many interesting
courses, under a varied assortment
of competent instructors ...
"I look forward with great antici
pation to my returning to Carolina
when I an released from the army.
"I close my letter with best re
gards to all the faculty, staff and
students of my beloved Alma
Mater."
Robert Smith Bailey, '91A, of
St. George, writes: "I wish to say
that I am hardly oblivious to the
fact that Dr. McKissick has so far
made the very best president the
University has ever had. I wish
to see him go still farther in the
promotion of changes which I feel
sure he realizes as necessary to the
best interests of E)UCATION.
Sonic of these changes are ap
parently so radical and unconven
tional from an academic standpoint
that it will take a number of years
to bring them about.
"I have just finished reading the
copy of the Gamecock you so
kindly sent me. Without doubt
it is the best arranged, organized
and news-filled college newspaper
I have ever read.

made since I graduated in 1S91!
Where most of the new huildings
have been erected I used to hunt
ral)l)its. Columbia at that time
boasted of a population of about
ten thousand, there was no pave
ment on the streets except somic
flagstones on the sidewalk of Main
Street, then called Richardson
Street. The Capitol had no porches
on either front or back, and those
fine nionolithic columns now sup
porting the porches were all lying
prostrate on the camptis. The city
water was so cloudy that if glasses
were left undisturbed for an hour
a sizeable patch of mud settled at
the bottom. There was a reservoir
on Arsenal Iill and one (lay a dead
baby was found floating therein.
l'he horse-cars stopped opposite the
Confederate Monument, the hors.es
were taken out and the car rolled
down by gravity to the foot of Ger
vais Street.
