University of South Carolina Libraries
President's Address "The year 1963-64 at the University has been heartening in many respects," Dr. Thomas F. Jones, president of the University, said in a special year-end statement to The Gamecock. "There are evidences of progress and hopeful signs of more progress to come all over the place," Dr. Jones com mented. "The students, and others who have contributed to this, deserve the thanks of everyone interested in the ad vancement to the University and in serving our state." Specifically, Dr. Jones cited: Voluntary action by the students, supported by the fac ulty, to keep University libraries open for longer hours to give more opportunity for study, particularly on weekends. An increase in library expenditures for new books from $140,000 to almost $250,000 to help overcome the "knowl edge gap" and to bring USC libraries closer to the best national levels. A voluntary revision of the student body constitution to require an average of at least C plus of all who seek to hold student offices. An upturn in scholarship generally. The number of dropouts at mid-year due to scholastic deficiencies decreased by nearly ten per cent in 1963-64. Better grades among freshman students due at least in part to a rule against permitting freshmen to have automobiles on the campus. Improved coordination of efforts by deans, professors and administrators "in the interest of a better University." Greater support of USC by alumni and others interested in the development of higher education in South Carolina. Continued backing of the University by the community of Columbia, especially in finding part-time jobs and aid for students, and by the State as a whole. Growing acceptance of the University as the keystone of higher education in South Carolina, as evidenced by its enrollment of some 40 per cent of all students entered at State colleges. Prospects of a "healthy eight to ten percent" gain in enrollment by the fall of 1964, followed by an increase which should bring the student body up to approximately 9,600 by the fall of 1965. "All in all," Dr. Jones concluded, "we at the University have every reason to look to the future with pride and optimism. The good will and good faith of students, faculty, alumni, and the general public are among our most in valuable assets, and thanks are due accordingly."
