Former Columbia Mayor pi
Kirkman Finlay Jr. teaches just b<
such a class for USC's govern- C
ment and international studies a<
department this fall.
"The course is on the city, but bi
the focus of the course will be ur
Columbia because that's my ex- p?
perience and that's where your VV
more direct, concrete examples pi
come from," said Finlay, a Col- pi
umbia native and a graduate of ar
Harvard School of Law. th
"But on the other hand, I want n<
to be careful not to make it a ?

or my experiences as mayor. I
think that's a danger to be
avoided."

Finlay said he would use Col- sic

Of USC's influence on Colum- se
a's growth, Finlay said, "This wl

esence, what it contributes to cc
