when it was announced that we yrere
to visit Jacoibs and Company to ob
serve the three-color printing process.
You see that meant a lesson, or a part
of one, at least, would be omitted.
The next morning we all came to
'school in high spirits, not having
studied our lesson. In about five
minutes Mr. Anderson walked in and
informed us that they were not mak-
, jng 'any three-cd|or pictures that day,
but that we would go “tomorrow.”
We;jRere all anticipating our little
tour the ne:tt day when wc were again
disappointed to learn that the machine
was broken. Of all the days in the
year to break! By this time we had
decided that fate was against us and
we had about given' up hoping that
’we would ever see how to make these
three-color”, picture. But we were
pleasantly surprised the next morning.
As we b^an our journey, we strolled
along very connplacently thinking how
nice this all was and wondering how
we could devise a scheme by which
we could stay out an hour and one
half. '
WTien we arrived at our destination,
it wasn’t long before we gained ad

PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE IS PRIDE

The Presbyterian College of South
Carolina was founded by Rev. WlWtam
time'a great deal of culture to the
community.
Dr. W. G. Neville took the presi-
Di unrkTfr, r, j dency of the college in the fall of
F. Jacobs, D. D., L. L. D. Dr. Ja-11904 .ft^r all of the presbyteries of
cobs came into the community in 1864, j’the synbd unitedly gave their sup
as a young man. He died in 1917 leav
ing behind him three great institu
tions, the First Presbyteriln church,
Thomwell orphanage, and Presbyte
rian College.
After the close of the war, due to
his influence there was an active in
terest taken in education. In 1880 an
association was formed of the pastor
and officers and some of the members
of the Presbyterian church. This or
ganization was granted a charter with
the right to confer college diplomas
and degrees.
The teaching force began by ope-
ratizjg two separate and distinct
schools under one management. The
collegiate department distinctly
under the control and direction of the
Presbyterian chu|«h. The charter land the gymnasium were added. The
provided that, Clinton College [college was admitted to h^mbership
association i^diereby made a body in- in the Southern Association^Schools
* " *■ ■ ird for
port to the college. From this time
there began a period of rapid develop
ment. During Dr. Neville’s presidency
mamy thousands of dollars were added
to the equipment and the administra
tion building was erected. The acre
age was doubled and new buildings
added.
For the^ first seven years, under the
ownershiipy’Df the synod, its equip
ment vifMB Increased and a genuine col-
lege/4pir4 developed.
An 1911 Rev. Davidson McDowell
Douglas, M. A., D. D., L. L. D.,^me
to the college, under whom the school
m'ade marked progress, ^ring the
sixteen years of J^is presidency the
present campus wm" developed. Two
dormitories, a science hall and library
was taking us to the printing depart
ment.
The first process in printing is the
cutiing-of the models. The picture to
be printed is cut from wax. Graphite
is then put on it is an insulator and
it is dipped in a copper sulphate so
lution. ■ This causes ^ thin copper
plate to form on the wax. A-tin al
loy is then put on the copper and
wood is put on ^ tin alloy. This is
done because the wood will not adhere
to the copper. The model is then put
in a ttiachine which cuts the wood
dowta until the model is type-high
{about three-fourths, of an in^). This
model is used in connection^ with the
various colors of ink in printing the-
picture. The picture goes through the
press once for every color which is
put on. ^ ^
The day we wei^ there, some as
paragus label were being printed.
Wherl the lidiel (or what was to be a
label) went through the press the first
time, yellow was put on, and you
were> just able to see the outline.
Greep was put on the next time and
you could see the outline of the bunch,
of asparagus which was green. When
it came out of the press the third time,
red had been added. At the top, in
about one-inch red letters, were these
words: “South Carolina Asparagus.”
At the bottom in small letters were,
these words: “H. H. Stoke8--Grower
and Distributor—Bamberg, S. C.” The
label was red around the border an^
the asparagus was tied with a red
binding. As the result of„the fourth
time' in tirarpress the background ap
peared blue. The bunch of asparagus
corporate and public consisting of the
pastor, elders and deacons of the Clin
ton Presbyterian churches that may
be formed from it, located in the town
of Clinton and ip connection with the
Presbytefian church in the United
States and their successors duly ap
pointed of such ten other persons resi*
and Colleges, the higheivt stan
a college in the South.
Through the process of building up
the college, .Dr. Douglas was assisted
by friends from the North and South.
The most' liberal giver was. Colonel
Ijeroy Springs, of I.Ancaster, who
erected on the campus the gymnasium
improvements. Certain buildingrs both
-
temporary and semi-permanent type
were used for administration building,
employees cottages, alM colonization
of certain types were constructed put
of maintenance funds as could ^
saved from year to year. In fact,
this period marked the beginning, of
the colony system at the institution
which has been developed to a point
where, at present, sixty-five ^females
and seventy males, making a total of
one hundred and thirty-five are cared
for in colony buildings. These arp
divided into four different units.
Subsequent appropriations^made
possible the erection of thase dormi
tories in 1924; two cottiq^s for em
ployees and a'laundt^xin 1926; a din
ing room and kitchen in 1926; two
dormitories for infirm types in 1927,
and a school building in 1929. This
was the Jast^apjiropriation for con-
structioii aiade^available.
T)ie school has two distince func
tions: training and custodial while the
larger per cent of inmates are custo
dial type. " .
The management of the institution
considers^ training as the primary
function.' Over two hundred of the‘
five hundred and eighteen now en-
rolle<l, take some form of instruction
under direction of the school depart
ment. The institution operates a well
organized school department with one
principal, and seven teachers. The
training is divided chiefly into aca
demics, sub-divided into advanced, in
termediate; and primary. Music, phy
sical education, ^meetic science, arts,
and crafts, limited vocational study,
kindergarten and habit training are
taught.
The total number of employees is
sixty-four full time and two part time
making a grand total of sixty-si^.
/^The main staff consists of the sup
erintendent, Dr. B. 0. Whitten; a
medical director, Dr. S. F. Chance;
—^
supervisor. Miss Georgia Brooker;
secretary. Miss Lois Blakely; and
school principal. Miss Norma Hallet.

,a more distinct outline and just
groove it in blue letters was written:
with themselves, and two .^'persons
from each Presbytery in the state.”
The charter also said that “the as
sociation shall have the right to con
fer degrees and diplomas usual in
coiUeges as may be recommended by
the faculty of the Presbyterian Col
lege of South Carolina and the Clin
ton Collegiate Institue for young la
dies.’^
In 1888 an appeal was made for
the cooperation of the Presbyterians
in the affairs of the college? As a re
sult the title Presbyterian College of
South Carolina was substituted for
(Minton College; the courses and in
structions were modeled along the
lines in use in other colleges. How
ever, the control as. well as owner
ship was local. Gradually as begin
ning with the^ construction of the Mc
Call building in 1886 the coHege ac-
qudred a campus and extended its
buildiniTo^iktions.
When the Synod ^iine into posses
sion of the school in 1904, features
of a college had begun to mature. The
Eukosmian and Philomathean liter
ary societes had been founded and two
^Greek better fraterhtiaa»were in exist
ence. A good faculty had been orgap-
ized, three of which still remain, Pri-
fessors A. V. Alartin, A. E. Spencer,
and M. G. Woodworth. A number of
alumni had begun to give distinction

and carefully directed athletics. Soon
after its start Walter A. Johnson be
gan his leadership in this department
in 1915. L. S. McMillian became assist
ant coach in 1924.
Since 1929 the college has been un
der joint control and ownership of the
Synods of Georgia and South Carolina.
These two synods are now joined to
gether in a great educational program.
To the teaching staff much of the
credit is due for the development of
the college. They are men of approved
educational advantages and proven
skill as teachers.
Under Dr. John MeSween, who
came to the college in the fall of 1928,
the college has steadily grown, aca-;
demically. as well as spiritually, in
spite of the strain of hardships.
Presbyterian college has existed for
fifty-three yws. The alumni are en

professional life of the state. Its en
