College 'show? acne or tb? deereptnole
tt ?Jd ase, but rather Increasing algara
ot vigorous life. A new departure cf
gruat importance to the College and to
the State baa Just been Inaugurated.
Por Bona? years the College has baa a
department of pedagogy, for the traia
(ng of teachers; but last winter, for the
first time, the Legislature created a
number of endowed normal scholar
ships, one for each county. It la the
intention of the Trustees and Faculty
to set these scholarships upon a high
plano, and to seek thereby to qualify
suncrtor young men for posltkonfl of
leadership und influence in our public
schools. However largely women may.
bc employed aa teachers, the work of
superintendence, direction and control
must continue to be most largely in th?
hands of the men; and lt ia to supply
these teachers of leadership and In
fluence, in thc community aa well as In
the schools, that the College will chiefly
aim, through these scholarships. Hence,
no young man under nineteen years ot
agc will be eligible, and preference will
be given to those applicants who have
already taught with success for at
Usant one year. *
A special and technical course af
study has been established, on a high
yet practical plane; and lt is Intended
that this department shall be worthUy
entitled to be called a "College for
Tcochera." All .the work will be dls
lUii lively normal, and apart from the
roy ular College classes. Thc Trustees
and Faculty feel sure that lu preparing
a body of strong and well equipped
men teachers thc College will aid in
supplying one of thc most important
needs of the State. They hope, also,
that this work, in its success and its
resulto, may meet with such public ap
proval as to lead hereafter to Ile still
further enlargement.
Circulars have been issued giving the
details 'if regulations and course of
study. tP
The present " session, now nearly
ended, has been very encouraging. Not
a ripple hus disturbed the internal
peace of thc College. Tho new Presi
dent lias won golden opinions, and has

The South Carolina College.
The'South Carolina College In round
lng out tho flrst century of its existent-*
and will celebrate its centennial lu Jun
uary, 1905. The College was couriered
In 1801 and opened for active work ii;
January, 1S05. lt owes Its -xi? lenee ti
a patriotic purpose, thc education ot
all the youth of the Stute nt a coimnon
i center, "in order to promote the in
' struction, the good order and ttic hur
? mony of the whole community/' and I'.
I waa built from a. portion ot the pro
ceeds of a reimbursement made by the
Dulled States to South Carolina for ex
penses Incurred lu thc Revolution. Dur
ing the century that la closing the Col
lege has contributed largely to tin
?tatcr-mannhlp, the patilotlam, the
learning and the high moral standards
that have prevailed In South Carolina
sud her sister States. Tho roll of Col
lege Alumni contains the names nf men
who have become noted in all the pur- '
suits of life, both in peuce and war.
Tb? exigcnclen of the struggle between
the States closed the college In 1SC3,
and >the buildings were uned as hospi
tals for sick and wounded Confederates.
But as coon as peuce wa? restored the
Institution was reopened by the "Orr
government" and enjoyed several years
of success until lt was overturned dur
ing the Radical regime. Since 1880, how
ever, the college han been continuously
open, and has educated hundreds of
yoong men and n nuinhcr of young
women, who for some years have been
permitted to partake of its advantages.
Originally the College was known as
a literary Institution, although from
early times its faculty contained scien
tists of great ability, but of late years
its courses have broadened out so as
to embrace also technical scientific in
struction, inst ruction lu law and a
course tn practical methods for teach
ers. ?
President Benjamin Sloan, thc head
of the Department of Phyairs and En<
gtneering, ls a graduate of West Point,
uid was a distinguished oulcer of ord
nance during the war between the
States. His graduates In engineering
are npw occupying most responsible
positions In different parts of thc United
Btatcs. Professor Joseph Daniel Pope,
