South Carol French Bac By D)AN HIOLIS Although the number of French Huguenots who migratedl to South Carolina is relatively small in proportion to the State's total population, this ethnical group has madie a notable contribution to the history of the state, a fact that is strikingly exemplified on t.he campus of the historic UJniversity of South Carolina, where three buildings bear French names. Two of these structures are old, while one is very new. The first of these, DeSaussure, was com p)leted in 1809, and is the second oldest on the campus. The second is Legare, which dlates back from 1848, and the third is Petigru, which wvas erected in 1951. DeSaussure is named in honor of Henry W. DeSaussure, 1763 1839) famed chancellor of South Carolina from 1808-1839, who, as a member of the lower house of the state legislature in 1801, was instrumental in founding South Carolina College. DeSaussure was a native of Beaufort and was a descendlant in the eighth genera tion of Antoine, Sieur de Dom martin, in Lorraine. His grand father came to South Carolina in 1730. Young Henry fought in the Revolution, settled in Charleston after the war, andi became a prominent trustee of South Caro lina College for a long period of years prior to his death in 1889. DeSaussure building was origin ally known as ''Old North," but in 1848, the college authorities, In recognition of the chancellor's distino-uished services to the insti Chorus Wili Open Spring Concert Tour Tomorrow The University of South Caro lina Chorus, under the direction of Prof. Robert L.

Only five per cent of the members are music majors. The program will consist of selections by the mixed chorus, a male chorus directed by Marior Mills of Ft. Mill, student director; and various soloists. Betty Breazeale of Columbia will be the accompanist. The Chorus will present its an nual spring concert in the Uni versity chapel on Friday, Apri 24, at 8:30 p.m. and will begin its annual spring tour with a per. formance at Camden High School on April 27.

Pharmacy Majors Visit Indianapolis Pharmacy students from the University visited the Eli Lilly Company in Indianapolis, Indiana on April 5-6-7. Among the students attending were Joyce Willis of Greenville, Jack Nye of Mullins, Robert Clarkin of North Charleston, J. G. Osteen of Ehrhardt, Richard Pon der of Winnsboro, Rufus Sadler of Clinton, Al Moir of Leesville, and B. J. Pellerin of Columbia.

The students toured the large pharmaceutical company and learned about the various prodiucts -)prodluced there. They saw opera tions involving the production of insulin. Other highlights of the inians Have kground tution, named the building in his hon or. Hugh dwinton Legare. (1797 1843), the "Charleston Intellec tual," is perhaps the most distin guished scholar to graduate from South Carolina College. The historian, Vernon L. Parrington, has said that he had "the most cultivatedl mindi in the South be fore the Civil War." Legare was a Charlestonian of Huguenot dlescent, and he graduated from South Carolina College in 1814, where he was valedictorian of a large class, and president of the Clariosophic Society. Aside from his intellectual pursuits, he also had a notable public career, which included service in the South Caro lina Legislature, State Attorney General, a diplomat in the United States foreign service, Congress man, and Attorney General of the United States in the John Tyler adlministration. Legare was ad interim Secretary of State of the United States when he dliedl in 1843. In 1843 a new building was near ing completion on the college campus. This structure was to house the Clariosophic Society and It was decided that It should bear the name of an outstanding former member. Legare was the unani mous choice. The third of the French-named buildings on the campus Is the home of the University's school of law, and is named in honor of James Louis Petigru (1789-1863), the most distinguished lawyer of ante helium South Csarolina.

A banquet was held in honor of the students, andi they were provided entertain ment (during the evenings spent in Indianapolis. Each year the University pharmacy school sponsors a spring trip) in order to give the students an opportunity to see the manu-: facture of pharmaceutical products on a large scale. Petigru, despite his naume, is descended from French Huguenots through his mother, not his father, for William Pettigrew was not of IFrench descent, and came to South Carolina's Abbeville district from Virginia. Young James Louis graduated; from South Carolina College in 1809 (where he, like Iegare, was; president of the Clarlosophic So ciety). He changed the spelling of his name to "Petigru" about the time of his graduation, and shortly thereafter moved to Char leston, where he soon became the outstanding lawyer of the city and State. A devoted unionist, he held few public offices in South Caro lina, aside from a trusteeship at South Carolina College, in which capacity he served for about thirty years. The "greatest private citizen that South Carolina has ever produced" was opposed to seces sion, yet he held the esteem of his people. When asked why he was so opposed to secession, he replied that "South Carolina is too small to be a republic and too large to be an insane asylum." It is indeed proper that the law school's home should bear the name of this great attorney. The first separate building for the law school was completed in 1919 and named Petigru at the time, but in 1961, when this department, havIng outgrown this building, moved to a new one, the name Petigru was transferred to the new home. The names DeSaussure Legare, and Petigru give the mellow 01(1 campusa (ededldy French accent.
