In Coastal Regions Sw
the
Dr. Stephen Taber, head of the der
geology department, has been Enj
awarded a grant from the Pen- dei
rose bequest by the Geological on
Society of America to complete a pro
study of the coastal plains re- I
gion, Pres. Norman M. Smith be
announced yesterday. whi
Doctor Taber will investigate col
the physiographic history of the can
coastal plain streams during the yea

when early man and his contem- lan
poraries lived in this region. rec<
The Geological Society of Amer- tioi
ica, with an endowment of $4, of
000,000 as the result of the be- diti
quest of Dr. R. A. F. Penrose, see
provides many grants in aid for wh
research in various branches of Sw
geology. A year ago, after ex- nef
tensive investigation, a commit- Un
tee of the society placed the uni- UP
versity on its list of 521 deposi- sit:
tories throughout the world to
which all its publications are sent wh
free. This was made possible by stu
funds from the Penrose bequest. ma
Doctor Taber has received Mi
grants for scientific research pre- cu
viously from several different or
ganizations. In 1920, he had a
grant from the American Associa- AL
tion for the Advancement of
Science to investigate earthquakes gr<
in Southern California, and in me
1931 he received a grant from the Ga
National Research Council for pr<
geological work in Cuba. pr4
Near the close of World War I, be
Doctor Taber was sent by the
War Department to Peurto Rico gr<
to investigate the disastrous wC
earthquake of 1918. He has also, av
made studies of the freezing and pu
thawing of soils as factors in the
destruction of hard surface pave- to
ment for the U. S. Bureau of Pub- un
lic Roads. sel
Doctor Taber's study of the _
perenially frozen ground in Alas
ka was used during the recent war
in the preparation of reports for
the army engineers and in con
nection with the construction of
airfields in cold climates.

Rutledge Dorm
First Completed
Campus Building
Rutledge, now a men's dormi
tory on the university campus,
has had a history which is parallel
- to the history of South Carolina.
The first completed building at
the university, it was erected four
years after the school obtained its
charter in 1801. The wings from
four units which serve as dormi
tories, while the center division
serves as a chapel and houses the
department of music.
It is thought that the building
was named in honor of John Rut
f ledge, a Revolutionary South
Carolina patriot, who was the au
thor of a plan for higher education
in the state which was only par
3 tially carried out.

In May, 1941, thle spring so

lose in the heat of an early sum
Rer, according to The Gamecock
f that day.
Among the many South Carolin
%ns who have now made names
or themselves in the state, there
rere several who were then in
he spotlight on the campus.
Jim McKinney, now an out
tanding reporter on legislative
natters for the local newspaper,
he State, was named as editor
f the student newspaper for the
ollowing semester.
Solomon Blatt, the younger,
rho was recently elected a mem
er of the Board of Trustees by
he General Assembly, was spend
rig his last days as president of
he student body.
In a column on the editorial
age, the question of the year
ras: "Will Matthew Poliakoff
raduate this year?" Poliakoff
id graduate, and is now a rep
esentative from Spartanburg
ounty in the aforementioned leg
;lature. According to some po
itical observers, he is rated as
ne of the best friends of this
chool in that assemblage of leg
3lators.
Dean Arney Childs was sched
led to go on a jaunt to Pawley's
