Dean I .... . .. , .. Dean Bradley Ren Over 4 BY MARY WIDEMAN Feature Staff Looking back over the years that he has been teaching at the University of South Carolina, Frank Bradley, present dean of the faculty and head of the Depart ment of Foreign Languages, re calls that there were less than 200 students, excluding the Law School, at Carolina when he began teaching. "At that time a student could get his meals at Steward's Hall, then a new building, for $9.00 per month," he said. "Room fees were $5.00 a semester and the tuition fee was $20.00. The average ex penses for a student's first year was approximately $175.00." When Dean Bradley began teaching at CaroUlna there were only twelve professors and half of them lived on the campus, occupy ing the buildings now known as the President's iome, Leiber Col lege, and McCutcheon House. The old President's home was located at the end of the horseshoe, in front of the present McKisaick Library. A lone crepe myrtle tree marks today the spot where it once stood. The old requirements for a B. A. degree included three years of one language and four of another. The classical curriculum required Latin and Greek, while the Literary curriculum offered French, 'Ger man, and Spanish. The law school had only one professor and the courses were not too difficult. "In fact," said Dean Bradley, laughing, "students who could not pass regular courses often enrolled in the law school, finished in one year, and became successful lawyers." The notorious Carolina-Clemson fight is a particularly outstanding event that he remembers. The fight lasted for two nights, the students using knives and pistols for weapons. "They even tore bricks from the walk in front of the Caroliniana Library and threw them," he added. Although no one was killed or Sseriously injured, all games with Clemson were carefully avoided for some time after that. In the days when chapel was held every morning, students often chose that time as most suitable for their pranks. Dean Bradley recalls one occasion when Major Sloan, a Confederate veteran who had a "minie-ball" (bullet) in one shoulder, causing it to be higher gan the other, was president. One nNrnming a boy set an .alarm clock to gQ off during chapel. When it rang,' the students burst into laughter. After the giggling had subsided, Major Sloan rose to his fu)l height, glared at the student body, and said scathingly, "I hate a fool." He was also very strict about attendance. If a boy missed chapel, Major Sloan would write out in longhand on his report card: "Each unexcused absence is a neglected duty." Dr. Flinn, for whom Flinn Hall is named, was chaplain at that time and often had to miss chapel because of business. Whenever he was not there, Professor Colcock would substitute, reading the Bible and saying the Lord's Prayer. Dr. Flinn had always led the student body in the saying of the Lord's Prayer, but Professor Colcock said it by himself. On this particular morniag he was half-way through lradley :arolina Tradition when he got stuck. Of course it was most embarrassing for him. He never did finish, but merely said, "Amen." The next morning Dr. Flinn was still unable to attend chapel and Professor Colcock again substi tuted. He read the scripture and then began the Lord's Prayer alone an he had done the day before. "Believe It or not," laughed Dean Bradley, "He got stuck in the very same place. It was even funnier than the first time." The "Science Hall," which was the name for our present gym nasium, housed the departments of physics, chemistry, and biology. On the front door there was a huge spring lock which could only be opened from the inside. About once a month someone In Dean Bradley's physics class would run down to the "Hall" ten minutes before the bell and shut the door. No physics class was held that day. Carolina students have always played pranks, from the traditional tack in the professor's chair to carrying the pieces of a buggy up to the roof of the chapel and putting It back together on the top of the building. Perhaps the wildest times were when the soph omores paid their annual "'visit" to the freshmen. When Dean Bradley was a fresh man, he and a boy named Wilson had to climb the Maxcy monument and sing "Home, Sweet Home." "For the rest of his college days," Dean Bradley said with a smile, "Wilson was called 'Home, Sweet Home' Wilson." Later that same year, a sopho more slipped Into his room one night, Intending to black his face. Thinking that Dean Bradley was asleep, the sophomore bent over his bed. Just at that moment, Dean Bradley reached up and jerked the handkerchief off the boy's face. The sophomore fled. The next morning Dean Bradiey found the boy's hat on the floor where he had dropped It in his haste, and put a notice on the bulletin board about it. The brave sophomore sent another boy to get his hat for him!

FLYNN Staff Reporter The old joke, "Every boy is a Boy Scout until he is old enough to become a Girl Scout," was proven recently when the Sigma Phi Epsilon pledge class swarmed to a local Girl Scout camp to undertake their "Help Week" work project. Under illusions that attractive Girl Scout leaders would supervise operations, the Sig Ep pledges plunged into a renovating program that included painting of floors, repairing screens, replacing broken windows, clearing of brush, clean ing the swimming area, and re pairing boats. The Congaret Area camp is showing signs of improvement as the pledge project nears comple tion, but the Sig Eps who have been working like Chinese Coolies still haven't seen any girls at the eamp. This isn't the season for eamping, maybe. At any rate, the noble pledges are still faithfully participating with delusions of hope. Following are the Sig Eps who worked: Ken Flynn, Hartaville, Woodrow Howle, Hartsville, Dick Plummer, Elizabethtown, Pa., Bart Berry, Ocean Drive, Jim Turner, Aiken, Charlie Jaap, Fort Pierce, Pila., Marvin Weathers, St. George, Prank Oates, Hartsville, and pledgemaster, Carlton Turner, Dublin, Ga.
