[ South Carolina College*
Centennial Celebration, January 10,
1905,?History Before the War.
The centennial of the opening cf
the South Carolina College will be
celebrated on the 10th day of January,
1905. The centennial of the
chartering of tfce Uoiiege was celebrated
December 19, 1901, in Charleston,
during the Exposition. The
^ chief object of this celebration, as
emphasized at the time, was to lead
up to a worthy celebration of the
true centennial of the life of the
College in January, 1905, when it is
expected that hundreds of atumi
from all parts of the country will be
present in Columbia to signalize one
of the most notable events in the
history of the State.
The establishment of a State College,
conceived by John Rutledge,
was recommended to the Legislature
by Gov. John Drayton, in November,
1801, and was carried successfully
through that body by H. W. DeSausBure,
afterwards Chancellor, and
until his death, in 1839, a bulwark of
strength to the Sonth Carolina College.
The Governor, in bis message, J
referred to the advantage of an institution
supported by public funds,
"the means could not be wanting of
inviting and providing for learned
and respectable professors in the
various branches of science," and the
need of a common center of education
in the State: "The friendships of
young men would thence be promoted
and strengthened througout
the State, and our political union . be
much advanced thereby." The "charter"
of the College, ratified December
19,1801, bears the simple title, >*An
Act to Establish a College at Columbia,"
andjis signed, "John Ward,
President of the Senate," "Theodore
Gaillard, Speaker of the House of
Bepresentativee." The object was
thus set forth in the preamble:
"Whereas, the proper -education of
youth contributes to the properity of
society, and ought always to be an
object of legislative attention; and
whereas, tbe establishment of a college
in a central part of the State/
where all its youth may be educated,
will highly promote the instruction,
the good order and the harmooy of
the whole community." -The chief
Ttrrtviainna nf the Act were the fol
V * WW www - lowing:
"That his Excellency the
Governor, his Honor the LieutenantGovernor,
the honorable the President
of the Senate, and the Speaker
of the House of Representatives, the
honorable the Associate Judges of
the Court of Equity, shall be, exofiicio,
together with Gen. Charles
C. Pinckney, H. W. DeSaussure,
Thomas Taylor, the Bev. D. E. Dunlap,
the Bev. Mr. John Brown, of
L*ncaeter, Wade Hampton, John
Cbesnut, James B. BichardsoD, Dr.
Isaac Alexander, Henry Dona Ward,
the Bev. 8amuel W Yongue, William
Falconer and Bartlee Smyth," "The
Trustees of the South Carolina College,7'
and shall draw "out of the
treasury of this State the sum of fifty
thousand dollars, to be appropriated
to the purpose of erecting a building
of brick or stone, and covered with
tile or slate, suitable to the accomodation
of the students of the said
College, and suitable for fully carrying
on the education of the said
Btudents, and for the erection of
such other buildings as may be
necessary for the use of the said
College." The Comptroller is
authorized "to pay over to said trustees
the sum of six thousand dollars,
yearly and every year, to be appropriated
to the purpose of paying the
Salaries of the faculty of the said
College, and for the further support
of the same." "That the said trustees,
with the concurrence of the
commissioners of Columbia, shall be
empowered to make choice of any
square or squares, yet unsold, in the
town of Columbia, for the purpose
of erecting said college, and the
buildings attached thereto, having
strict reference to every advantage
and convenience necessary for such
an institution."
With these small beginnings but
exalted aims the College was opened
January 10,1805, with the President
and one other professor (two more
professors being secured during the
r
s-.ssion), aDd with a few students,
numbering in six months twenrynine.
The first student enrolled was
William Harper, afterwards tbe dis
tinguished Chancellor, and the first
graduate (in 1806) was Anderson
CreDshaw, of Newberry County,
afterwards tbe distinguished Chancellor
of Alabama. The President
from 1804 to his death, in 1820, was
Jonathan Msxcy, a na<ive of Massachusetts,
who, at 24, was President
of Brown University, and later sue
ceeded Jonathan Edwards as President
of Union College, fillDg each
I presidency with brilliant success, and
still ranked by each institution as
one of i*8 greatest presidents. He
was a Baptist preacher, and already
"at the North he was regarded as
unrivaled in the pulpit " His students,
Pettigru und O'Neall, in after
years, pronounced him the greatest
of orators. The monument standing
in the center of the College campus
was erected to his memory by the
Clariosopbic Society.
Up to the War the history cf the
College and the history of the State
were one: During that brilliant halfcentury
almost all the distinguished
men of the State and many of the
leaders of the Southwest were graduates
of the South Carolina College,
Congressmen, Senators, Judges,
Governors. When the War came,
students and alumni rushed to the
defense of their State, and whether
from South Carolina or from other
States, eighteen of her alumni rose
' o
to the rank of general. All know
Hampton and Batler and Mart Gary
and John Bratton. T. M. Logan
and A. C. Haskell divided the bonors
of the class of I860, and in less than
four years commanded regiments or
or brigades. The academies which
then flourished in the State were
founded by alumni of the College,
and one of the youngest of these
teachers before the War is today the
revered Nestor of the profession, Dr.
James H. Carlisle, of Wofford.
