Currell d Thursday and administered the institution until 1922 when he retired and was succeeded by D)r. W. D). Melton. After leaving the presidency, Dr. Currell remained as first dean of the University's Graduate School and taught English as well. HIe was a native of Charleston who earned bachelor's, master's andl doctor of philosophy dlegrees at Washington and Lee University. D)r. Daniel W. Hollis, author of the two-volume sesquicentennial "H i a t o ry of the University of S o u t h Carolina," describes D)r. Currell as an "effective and in spiring teacher" who, as president, achieved "genuine" success in rais ing the University's standards for entrance, grading and degrees. D)espite severe financial handi caps, Dr. Currell was a strong and successful proponent of quality in all education, and during his presi dlency the University became the first state-sup)ported institution of higher education in South Carolina to earn memb)ership in the South. erni Assn. of Colleges and Schools.

For example, student grade re ports for the semester which ended Jan. 22, were computed and printed in about three and one-half ours with the new IBM 1401 com puter, compared with about 20 hours for the data processing equipment previously used for this task. Harold Brunton Jr., associate lean of administration, said the University has just completed a space-use study of all classrooms and laboratories on the campus, using the new computer. The study will enable the University to make maximum use of present facilities and provide a clearer indication of what additional physical facilities are needed, Dean Brunton said. The speed of the new computer is indicated by the fact that a problem requiring eight man-hours when lone with a calculating ma chine can he solved and printed by the computer in less than a minute and a half. The University's IBM 1401 mag netic tape digital computer is the first in a higher education insti tution in South Carolina. It will be used for research, teaching, proc essing of student records and many other purposes including fi nancial a er ounti ng and cost studies. Information is' stored on mag netic tape which spins at ultra high speed as the computer selects wantedl information from the tape. Information and problems are inserted into the computer in "ma chine language" after translation from conventional instructions. As many as 14 million "m aeh in e language" characters m a y be stored on a single 10-inch reel of magnetic tape. "Programs" of instructions are also stored on tape, allowing the system to repeat a process when ever called upon. The new equipment gives the University's C o m p u t e r Center much more flexibility in data pro. cessing and increased economy of C FIND .1 CARD "ACROSS FR >OKS, ' US A 2 Pi ENDERS pay their fees before the indled down to a slow drip towardr in their rooms, diligently rtudyins SpeedC eates Regi recording, transporting and sto ing large volumes of informatic in compact form.

An announcement of Dr. Jones' lection was received from the na tional office of the IEEE in New York City. It listed results of a mail vote taken among the nearly 150,000 members. This placed the University head on the board as one of two directors - at - I a r g e chosen for three-year terms. The other was Dr. F. W. Willenbrock. associate dean of applied sciences at Harvard University. The re. maining directors were chosen for shorter terms or on a regional basis. The action came as a form of recognition of Dr. Jones' profes sional standing and of work done y by him year before last. Whilh head of the School of Electrical Engineering at Purdue, he was editor of the Institute of Radio Engineers publications. The IRE became part of the IEEE in a merger last year.
