The resolution, submitted by a committee composed of Dr. Orin F. Crow, Dr. Francis W. Bradley, and It. G. Bell, was given unanimous approval. Referring to the depression of the 30's the resolution said: "Even in the face of these almost insur mountable obstacles, Doctor Stod iard continued to explain the serv ces which the summer school ren dered to the teachers of the state. With an educational statesman ship which continued to look for ward to the future, he studied the needs of the teachers for teacher training, and, even in the hardest years, would bring in specialists in various fields in which he had dis covered a need." Doctor Stoddard became profes sor of secondary education at the university in 1918 and in 1920 was named director of the summer school. He retired in 1946.

Bs Plan iLucation VlOLONY n-Chief f the Peabody Report or any date the prografns of higher oported schools in South Caro mond announced to The Game in my inaugural address still "I suggested that the General Assembly seriously consider the Peabody Report as a means of achieving this consolidation in 1947, again in 1948 and again in 1949. 1 eitill believe the report shou'd be given careful considera tion and I will endorse it this year, too." Governor Thurmond couldn't ex plain why ihe report has been buried under in a Senate commit tee room for the past years. "I can't understand it," he said, "the school heads believe it is un wise for a state South Carolina's size and with its limited financial facilities Ao maintain two separate pharmacy schools and three engi neering schools in competition with each other, but each wants to keep his own school as a permanent fix Wure." "There should be sime way to settle the question," Governor Thurnond said, "and I believe ac tion should be taken in the coming session of the legislature." (The Gamecock has taken a poll of the six presidents concerned on the question of consolidation and has received two non-committal an swers and one in opposition to a board as specified by the Peabody Report. General C. P. Summerall. Presi dent of Thc Citadel, said "the sub ject has been fully investigated by state agencies and I prefer not to discuss it in the press." President Henry R. Sims of Win throp College answered: "If you mean setting up a board as recom mended in the Peabody Report, I would not approve such a plan." Admiral Norman M. Smith, President of the University of South Carolina, merely said "I have no comment to make."
