The press is just a little more than seven years old, but in that time thirty-four books have been pub lished by its staff. The press began as a- mutual effort of several professors who realized that certain valuable ma terial concerning South Carolina ought to be published and made Available to South Carolinians as well as others. Later, the press ex panded to produce other volumes of wider interest. Dr. S. M. Derrick and Dr. W. H. Callcott of the Faculty Research Committee, along with Dr. Leonard T. Baker, acting president of the university, were instrumental in founding the press. Dr. Baker asked the Board of Trustees for, and got, the initial grant of $3,000 to publish the first book, "South Carolina; Economic and Social." This book sold so well that the board decided to authorize the formation of a press to continue publications. The University Press was set up under the auspices of the Graduate Committee; W. H. Callcott, chairman; S. M. Derrick, F. W. Bradley, G. F. Lipscomb, and MeTeer Daniel. Dr. Callcott was first editor of the press. Louise Jones DuBose, managing edlitor, came to the University Press as one who is welcomed back. She had studied at the university, taught here on several occasions, worked with university people all her life, and had been added to the press staff even before the resigna tion of Frank Wardlaw, former editor and director. She has had experience with every side of publication work. She has written and published many poems, feature articles, and maga zine serials.

Associate editor of the USC Press is Dr. Robert David Ochs, of the university history depart ment, who works closely with the staff in editing the manuscripts. The University Press was sur veyed by Chester Kerr for the Association of American Univer sity Presses and his report shows the organization in a very favor able light. He says of the Press; "The president of the university had designated its objectives as 'to in crease the national educational prestige of the university and the state: to stimulate scholarship and add to the world's body of knowl edge through publication of scholarly research, and to serve South Carolina, as no other press ever can or will serve her, through the preservation of her records of her people, the publication of her studies which concern her peculiar problems, and the stimulation of pride in her achievements and faith in her future.'"
