FACADE OF CURRELL COLL1 Currell College, formerly Petigru porter tells how the home of the students now know it, came into I Currell C Housed U "By BILL BATES Staff Writer The red brick building just south of McKissick Library is what is known to hundreds of struggling, but failing, history students as the history department. This building Is known today as Currell College, but it has not always had that name or-been the seat of the his tory department. When the building was occupied In January of 1919, it was named Petigru College, which housed the Law School. The building was named Petigru in honor of the dis tinguished Charleston- attorney. In 1948 it became evident that a larger law school was needed. When the University failed to take immediate steps in this direction the South Carolina Bar Associa tion took action by prevailing upon the General Assembly to appro priate funds for a new law build ing. After the new law building was completed, it was decided to trans fer the name Petigru to the new building. When this was done it became necessary to rename the first Petigru College. It was -re named Currell College and it then became the home of the history department. A curious aspiect of Currell is the engraving of names on mark -ers which circle the middle part of the building. On the east side the names are Calhoun, O'Neal, Drayton, Preiton, Johnson, and Wardlaw. \ AAt~EOFROM THEA44 1e One That * Got Away 4y SCUiTLTE ~J.
