Mar. 24.—Chicora College for women, located here, will Pc consolidated with , CoFege at Charlotte, the affiliated institution to be known as Queens- Uhicora college, it was announced here today after a meeting of the Presbyterian synod of South Caro lina. The motion to accept the pro posal of the permanent commit tee on Christian education that the schools be consolidated was made by Governor John G. Rich ards. J. S. Wannamaker, of St. Mat- 1 thews, opposed immediate consid eration of the motion on the ground that no provision had been made to care for certain obliga tions which the college, he said, now has. He mentioned money paid to the college by non-Presbyterians of Columbia who subscribed $70,000 and actually paid in $33,000 to a “greater Chicora campaign” con ducted here several years ago. The effort never materialized. The Rev. T. C. Squires, of Green ville, also took the position that the college should return this mon ey when its assets are liquidated. This proposal provoked much argument and it was referred to a special committee for considera tion. The committee is to make its report later today.
