Phi Epsil Dean Of Ed( Offices In C And Honor J By HUBERT C. HENDRIX "The true in heart are those who laugh at my jokes a second time, but the real sign of intelligence is when you laugh the third time," Dean Orin F. Crow of the school of education once told a class. Humor is always present in Doc tor Crow's lectures and students frequently find themselves taking notes on his illustrative anecdotes. Service in two wars has served tc increase his knowledge of human ity-of its pathos and its humor. Dean Crow was born at West Springs 53 years ago and was graduated with a bachelor of arts degree here in 1917. He received his master of arts degree from the George Peabody College in 1926 and became a doctor of philosophy there six years later. He was presented his bachelor of arts diploma by Dr. W. S. Currell, then president of the university, in commencement exercises at For Oglethorpe, Ga., where he was in officer training. That was the only time commencement exercises hav ever been held outside South Caro lina. Professor Crow's education had been interrupted already in 1916 17 when he served as a Nationa Guard private on the Mexican bor. der patrol for $15 a month. "Bui I made more because I was the out. fit's money-lender," he said. After serving in France as i field artillery lieutenant in thi first world war, Dean Crow wa principal of the Hartsville hig1 school until 1924. He became a pro fessor of education at the univer sity in 1925 and succeeded Dr. Pat terson Wardlaw as Dean of edu cation in 1930.

He founded University High school for the training of teachers and for the improvement of high school administration and instruc tion. He also founded the South Carolina high school literary year book, and established a rental li brary service for state teachers and administrators. Dean Crow was a colonel of the field artillery in the second world war and was commander of the 415th Field Artillery group which was scheduled to take part in the initial assault of the Japanese in vasion before the atomic bomb made it unnecessary. He served on the Second Army staff and likes to tell of the time his group was observing maneuvers in Tennessee when a confused gen eral lost a whole division in the mountains. It took days to find it and reorganize it, Colonel Crow said. Professor Crow is listed in Who's Who in America and in Who's Who I in Education. He has contributed - many articles to educational maga I zines, bulletins, and at present is - engaged in editing for publication t the papers and addresses of Dr. - Patterson Wardlaw.

The au thorities decided that the $600,000 library should be built at the head of the campus, and the historic house was torn down. The house was built as a neces sity for the college two years after the original buildings, DeSaussure and Rutlege, were completed. In 1857, porticos were added to the stone house, and the roof was raised. Duling the Confederate War the home wvas used as a hospital for the soldiers and served of especial use 'when Columbia was 'burned. Bodies of those wvho died in the fire were buried behind the house in what is now Gibbes Green and wvere moved to Elmwood Cemetery during the presidency of Dr. James Woodrow (1891-1897) Until 1918, the basement of the house was used for administrative offices, and the president and his family occupied the rest of the spacious building. During the oc cupationi of Negro students at the university, reconstruction officials used it as a normal school. In 1922, the house was aban doned as a home for the president, and the offices of the extension division, registrar, alumni secre tary, andl business administrator, and journalism and graduate school classes were moved to the building. This move took care of the crowded conditions at that time. The house had many influential visitors wvho were entertained by presidents in the last century. It was visited by Daniel Webster in 1847, and at the beginning of the century President Howard Taft spoke to the student body from its porch.
