In 187:3, when the university was', reopened, Prof. Maxmilian La Horde was the only member of the old faculty who ieturned to wit ness reconstruction control. lienry Hayne, Nevro, entered the Iedical school here in Oc- I tober of that year. Immediately La Horde and two other professors resigned, and a month later Lia Borde died, having suffered an1 at tack after the shock. A Negro. Richard Greener of Harvard, was elected to' replace La Borde, and Negrot-s were placed on the Board of Trustees as well. This attempt to mix the races in puhic eu(IICation caused a great decrease int the enrollmtent of white studentts. Sootn otnly teni per cent of the nutmbher registered was white.

Established as the South Caro ia collge, the school continued under that titie until Dec. 19, 1865, when Gov. J. L. Orr signed the bill creating tht University of South Caredina. The change re Silted from agitation led by Gov. 13. F. 'erry to reopen the school after three years closu,e due to the War Between the States. Perry advocated a university so ais to allow students to receive lusiness and professional training. The first university opened on Jan. 10. 1864; but was closed July 31 that same year due to lack of stuients and resignation of sev eral members of the faculty. Many of the students had left school in protest of the enroll ment of a Negro man in medical school. The school remained closed un til Oct. 5, 1880, when it was re 'openied a. the South Carolina Col - .... . .. ,1 b -mild, ripe, light tobacco.

Pressure from agricultural inter ests in the legislature was largely responsible for this change. In 1883 the school was again changed to the South Carolina college. The state legislature had withdrawn the agricultural sup port, and cut the school's appro priation, making this change nec essary if the school were to sur vive. The second University of South Carolina was created Oct. 2, 1888. A favorable legislatut e had re store(d appropriations to the school. But in 1891, finances again prompted a change. On April 21, 1891, the South Carolina col lege was created for the third time. The final and lasting change came on Feb. 17. 1906, when the third University of South Caro lina was formed. The drive for this last move was led by Dr. E. S. Joynes, of the school's faculty. Dr. Joynes realized a university was necessary if the school was to grow, and it was due largely to his efforts that the final change was approved by the legislature. sbeth Wolfe I KAM STnRIM x.j 40 odrmreidpn mer,byrsadwm gual'ta4h nx w a catonof uck etdy n the dra OOn.
