Commendation
Of Fire Dept.
The university has. received the
commendation of Chief A.- MdC.
Marsh of the Columbia Fire De
partment for recent "improve
ments that have been made and
undertaken to relieve fire hazards
that have existed for such a long
time."
Chief Marsh praised the univer
sity for four specific "improve
ments" in his annual Fire In
spection Report of the campus.
They were:
1. The inatallation of automatic
sprinklers for the safeguard of
life and property ,from fire;
2. Improvement in the electrical
wiring system by additional cir
cuits and replacement of worn and
defective wiring;
3. Improved arrangements and
methods 'for storage of supplies,
and removal of' combustible rub
bish from storage sections;
4. Renovation and - major re
pairs to certain buildings which
make them far more fire-resistant
and relieve many fire hazards.
"I am 'gratified in making this
report for it is the first in a long
while that we are able to make
mention of considerable improve
ments from a prior inspection, and
I think this administration should
be commended for the many and
various steps that have been
taken to protect valued buildings
and the persons who habitate
them from fire," Chief Marsh
wrote.

The deed to the property was
officially presented last week by
A. M. Graves of Columbia, state
manager of the Esso Standard Oil
company.
The lot adjoins property pur
chased this year by the university
in anticipation of future building
requirements.
"The University of South Caro
lina deeply appreciates the gener
ous gift of the Esso Standard Oil
Company and the gracious coop
eration and continuing interest
shown by Mr. Graves who did so
much to make it possible," Presi
dent Russell said.
"Because we are in the process
of expanding our physical facili
ties, a gift of this kind is especially
timely and desirable. But perhaps
even more important, it is con
vincing evidence of the close ties
that exist between the university
and industry, which need each
other and can work together to
mutual advantage and to the ad
vantage of all citizens of the
state."
The lot has a frontage on Main
Street of approximately 80 feet
and on Devine Street of approxi
mately 70 feet. Like the university
