Staff Reporteri
V(Ed. Note: This is the fourth in
eA series of articles about land
mnarks of the Carolina campus.)
Since its unveiling in 1827,
Maxcy Monument has become a
symbol of the campus on which it
stands. The stately memorial is
a mute memento erected in the
honor of Carolina's first president,
Dr. Jonathan Maxcy. Dr. Maxcy
came to South Carolina College in
1804, and served as its president
until his death in 1820.
. Shortly after Dr. Mlaxcy died,
the Clariosophic Society decided to
erect a memorial in his honor.

Geologist Says
Water Level
Not Declining
"Contrary to popular belief, the
ground water levels in South Caro
lina are not on the decline." Geol
ogist, G. E. Siple, whose office is
in Building "F" on the Caroi,na
Campus, makes this statement in
view of the relative constantcy of
the water table as observed since
an investigation started in 1946.
The investigation, concerned
with the character and geologic oc
currences of ground water aquifers
throughout the state, is the result
of an agreement between the South
Carolina Research Planning, and
Developing Board and the Geolog
ical Survey, U. S. Department of
tho Interior. The investigators
determine the quantative capacities
of the aquifers to produce water,
and collect and analyze samples
from them for their chemical con
tent.
A network of observation wells
is imaintained throughout the state
in which periodic water-level
measurements are made. The re
sults of these measurements are
included in the annual Water-Sup
ply Papers listing water levels and
artesian pressure in observation
wells in the United States.
