Once again, Ira and Nancy Koger have
agreed to contribute to USC's cultural and artistic
development.
On Jan. 15, the Kogers announced plans to
donate a collection of Asian ceramic art objects
in an effort to establish an Asiatic art gallery at
use.
"It's a great honor for the university to be
named the recipient of such a world-class art
donation." said USC President James
Holderman.
The Asiatic art gallery will be a study of both
the art and the industry of the Far East.
"It's been our hope all along that something
like that could happen," Koger said. "So we've
allocated for a gift most of the Korean objects,
some Japanese objects and Chinese pieces anc
other things generally dealing with the Pacific
nm.
Some of the Koger's donated pieces include
world-quality Korean objects of the S'cylla period
(fifth and sixth century), Koryo Period I
11th and 12th century) and Yi Period (16th anc
17th century).
Other pieces include Chinese and Japanese
ceramics, including Annamese pieces dating as

"I've visited Mr.Koger at his home in Savannah,

vice president for libraries and collections, said.
"I'm ecstatic that we've been able to attract the
Kogers and their pieces here at USC.
"Mr. Koger had been soliciting proposals
from museums across the southeast in an at1

were on loan to the McKissick Museum. "Literally
thousands of people flocked to see the
show," Terry said.
About 2,000 square feet will be renovated in
McKissick to house the Koger's collection.
"USC will acquire the pieces in the next 8 to
12 months. While we are acquiring these pieces
the renovations on McKissick will be taking
place," Terry said.
Koger's collection has not been completley
formulated yet, but he has several pieces and
will continue to add more, according to Terry.
"The Koeer's ceramic collection." Holder
man said, "is unequalled by any of the university's
current holdings, making it a tremendous
asset to our permanent collections.
"Mr.Koger said he pledged to make this collection
the best in a university or college setting.
When a man like Mr. Koger says that, you
know it must be true."
The Koger name is familiar to not only the
students of USC, but to all South Carolina residents
as well. The Koger Center for the Arts
would not have been made possible if it wasn't
for the Koger's $4 million donation.
The Kogers not only collect ancient Oriental
art, but also English cermamics, American and
French 19th century antiques and furniture and
American impressionist paintings.
