Ward, Director of the Extension Division. Five Frequency Modulation wave lengths have been allocated to educa tional institutions and it is expected that many colleges will take advan tage of this post war offer. The Uni versity of South Carolina, the city schools of Columbia, and the State Board of Education have conferred on this possibility, and the State Board will appoint a committee to study Frequency Modulation and to apply for a wave length. "Frequency Modulation will bring great changes to our present educa tional system," said Mr. Ward. "Many colleges now have their own stations and have proven that such subjects as science and music, as well as lan guages and lecture courses, may be taught successfully in this way. The University of South Carolina should lead the way in this new develop ment." It has been estimated that stations with a power of 250 watts and fully equipped may be obtained for less than $10.000. Frequency bfodulation, which eliminates static and gives a t t reproduction of sound, is revolu tionary in the radio field.

When he was here as a student, Dr. McCutchen remembers, the boys dor mitories were equipped with fireplaces an each boy had to buy and bring in his own coal, build his own fire, and take up his own water. The boys ate at the Steward's Hall, which was located on the northeast corner of Main and Green streets. I was run by a negro, Ike Peterson, and was always referred to by the boys as the "Hotel de Peterson." The board was the enormous sum of six c'ollars a month, but, as Doctor Mc Cutchen remarked, '"We somehow managed,to survive." There were 125 students at Caro lina when Doctor McCutchen came as a rreshman in 1894 and out of that class, there was only one girl gradu ate. The courses of studies were fixed with no choice by the student. At that time, there were only about ten depart ments, including the departments of history. language, ancient languages, mathematics, chemistry, physics, Eng% lish, biology, and psychology and philosophy. There were not more than 15 members of the faculty. When )octor Mc.utchen caie as a teacher in 1OO, he taught history. Later, he was given the economics class. From that one course in eco nomic", the present department, with a faculty of live, has develupcd. )nring the time Doctor McCutchen has been here, there have been ten ac tive presidents of the University.
