Dr. Thomas Cooper said "The college is in yearly jeopard of being destroyed by dlsputes about eating." The food disputes were climaxec by the "Biscuit Rebellion" of the early '50's, which included duelh and the walk-out of 30 students. President James Thornwell weary of the food matter and the riotous students, gave permissiori to those, whose parents agreed, t< board at houses approved by the faculty. Conditions were that a lady must be present at the table and that no intoxicating beverages be served. In 1904 Steward's Hall was moved to a -new building, located across from the gymnasium. ThreE years later it was made a coopera tive ente1-prise under a board ol managers. A matron was placed in charge instead of the formei steward.
