Clemson on the Hill.
&1EM80N COLLBOK, July 15.-Special:
The attendance at Clemson is nearing
tbe three hundred and fifty mark and
bas airead')' grown tu be ?s lafg? as
many of the trtist?Bs cared for. tc was
thottght that for tue first year it would
ba better to iiave a somewhat smaller
attendance. But Clemson bas" caught
the pe?ple and it is on the road io high
success, tb previ??3 articles f bave
attempted to sboW what there really is
at "Clemson on the Hill." It might be
well just here to indicate, for the benefit
of those who contemplate taking a
course at Clemson, what it ft iii oost
them, Wu?t they will be expected to
etudyj and principally that it is a finan?
cial impossibility to pay your w?y
through Cleit?st?o by working on the
farm or io tho shops. It cannot be
done. It need not be attempted. The
faculty do not want jBii tb try it, and
indeed President br?tgteeEd frill advise
you riot to try it, but to remain lt home,
work for dfages aod then come to tie oi?
son. Do not go there with ? few dol?
lars-oot enough to buy books-?od
expect to work your way through. Re?
member that your time has to be ?pent
in class room work and study, and that
two or three hours' work for. "wages"
is as much ag you can do. Clemson's
course is weil worth the money, and
while tbe working system is a help, it
can pot be coan ted on for every expense
Tho catalogue of Clemson gives the
following as a minimum expense ;
Board for ted months g 70 00
Washing for f?? mouths 5 00
{Sedjc?i feg O 00
UniformS 23 75
Total $ 103 75
This does not include Books aod
other necessary iteras of exp5n?e.
"it wi!l be ?left estimate to place the
actual expenses bf boys who cannot pay
the $40 tuition fee at $100, and anyone
who gets to Clemson can put that down
as a minimum figure after he counts up
society Hues, extra clothing, fares aod
incidental expenses.
The catalogue says : "These expenses
may be reduced by labor." The board
of trustees have decided to pay not
more than 8 cents pbr hour for work
that is not educational. By this is
meatit that a boy who works in the me?
chanical department and spoils lumber
aod consumes time is not to be paid for
his work, becatise it is educational.
Whenever the work is of adran tag? to thc*
Collegs as weil ss to the student it will
be paie! Fdr at the rate of "not more than
eight cents an hour." The oourse
provides two hours Work per day ; that
wo?ld be j6 cents per day, or 96 cents
per weeks, or Ctft enough to pay the
board bill, Or with three .hours work
per day, with ao allowance for inter
feretice t?rb^gh weatSer or otherwise,
tfce board .bill would just be paid. The
trtlsiees db not want the boys to devote
their entire time to work io tbe Solds,
and ali cf it will ?ot be fora the benefit
of the College, and a mazioiuoi price
cannot be ? aid. ?here is no use. tb. go
to Clemson expecting to work your way
all the way through It is really touch?
ing to see bow very many jt?un* men
tbbre ?re who want to go to Clemson and
have not the means. 1/ery, very many
of them are there now at a great sac?
rifice to their families and after experi?
encing untold trial and self-den ail them?
selves.
. Here is an incident that shows the
spirit of some of the young men at the
College. Thc News and Courier want
to send a telegram from Calhoun, a
distance of .two miles from Clemson. I
arked President Craigbead tot please
secure a messenger by whom the tele?
gram could be carrifd, .Shortly after?
wards a neat-looking j pring niau came
up, and said : "President Cralghead
said you wanted to send a message to
Calhoun." He tifa, told what tfas
desired and he replied : "I am willing
to go to Calhoun or anywhere else if I
eau make any money. I want to
make all I can to pay my
expenses here." He carried tbe tele?
gram, but the agent of the Western
Union Telegraph Company was not
quite so willing and preferred his sleep
to working after business hours. He
next carried mail to Pendleton, a dis?
tance of fot?r miles, and telegrams to
Calhoun's for the newspaper men.
Watch Johfl Hook, of Orangeburg!
He has the right material in bim and he
will be a ?redit to Clemson.
There is no more importan; factor in
College affairs than eating. It is always
i vexed oj?estio? and the problem for
years has been, how chea*? board can be
given aod at the same time be whole?
some and give s?t is fact ion. What to
feed est?ril hundred boys du ?nd how
to fix it is another question. All boys
do not like the same dishes, and the
real trouble h that so many arc denos?
to di!ferent kinds of eating. Clemson
has taken the eating problem by the
boros and will make a test of tb : pres?
ent plan ; whether it will be entirely
satisfactory and will not have to be
modified in some way remains to be
seen. Sdiris want it made cheaper/
while others wa*ot it improved ?ii cer?
tain features. Une thing is certain
there are maoy boys at Clemson who
are to-day getting food of better quality
and better orenaied than the* had
. J, J it
while th?^ were ?t home. The present j
idea is to charge seven dollars per
month to all students for board ' this
bas to be paid monthly In advance.
The messs hall and kitchen are on the
basement ?oor of thc dormitory, but cut
off so far as smells are coocoroed.
There is plenty of room, and thc kitchen
is supplied with cooking appliances of
the latest kinds. The mess room will
easily seat all of thc students. The
table furniture is cheap, but neat. ,
Mr. W. J. Gallowoy, of thc Missis?
sippi Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege, te dt present ;n charge of the mess
liall and is" gettiug things in working
conditio!?, st* that his successor can take
hold withottt any trouble. Ile has h?e
co??ks, two in tire bake room* and three
in the kitcbeo, end te? waiters, who
??tend td the tables aud thc clcaniug
of the dishes and 6uch ether work as
is required.
The kitchen is supplicvl with steam
tables, vegetable pots, a range that wiil ;
cook enough for a thousand per day and ?
a bake room that can turn out breadstuff I
,by the wagon lt ad. There is au itu- ,
tn ? o se copper tub io whicn bams
boiled acid a copper coffee pot that
prepare seventy-five gallons of ?Offe
a time. The equipuieot of tte fcfe
is very complete.
About the best way td ?life' ?ti
of what, the boys get is ta giri*
meDus for the day I s?w Kr. ch
way :
Breakfast at 7 20 A. M. Ham. 1
bread, corn bread, hominy, cduefe
milk: . ii * t
Dinner at 1 o'clock. Beef, I
potatoes (from firm,j nee, (from fa
corn and light bread: vegetables (f
farm.) milk (from experimental static
Sapper at 6 o'clock. About ?ami
breakfast.
?tie bill of faro wilt be ch'?oged v
the season and the boys will b? gi
the bcucuc of the products of ?He. ft
and 8 ta ti co.
It ig the present intention df thosi
charge of trig mess ball not td Have i
soup. Here is one who is willing
joiu Governor Tillman in his fight
soup, if for nothing el?e. The autln
ties say th?t soup would cost as tri!
as meat, bread or any other drt?ole
diet, that it is not as valuable and t
with the short time allowed for ?ih1
that it cannot be served. No soi
tfor the present the meat is secui
under fcciitract at $5 20 per Huodn
lt will Be arranged so that &\\ of t
meat will bare to pass inspebHBo bef
it is accepted.
The commissary is located under I
memorial hall and is convenient to t
kitchen. It is provided with a gc
supply of the necessaries for the tab
It is not intended to give the boys a
fanjy dishes, but plain and substant
food.
Now, these boys who are at Clems
j and those who are to follow them, wi
j are the* td ?tudy ? It is a most int<
I estipg Question.
The board of trustees have arraog
j foqr courses io the collegiate departan

It will be seen that the conrees are r.

The two-year course io mechanics
di-ers only 2) far as thc practical work
is concerned, and ??is"tead to uro bo?rs
given to agriculture in the stfprfotuore
year of thu agicult?ra! ce'urs? live hours
are given to mechanics. In cither re?
spects the two-year courses aro identic^!.
Of course special emphasis is to be
placed upon the practical work in the
shops and in thc fields Very much is
expected as a result of the work tn the
shops and Geld.
The preparatory department,, which
will no doubt contain a very large
proportion of the students, proposes to
teach arithmetic, English grammar,
?uited States history and geography.
Thc examination of the boys shows the
very ptor condition of the overage pub?
lic sohools in the State, and Clemson
has a good and laudable work before it
in this preparatory department.

far as class room exercises are* cou

The field wdrk, wbioh is triter the
immediate charge of that eminent
agriculturist, Prof. Newman, will form
an iltijjdrtant part of the education in
tte agricultural department. Tho
young men are to have practical Ss well
as theoretical instruction in every de?
partment of their cot?rse, from field
work to horticulture, from biology to
the dairy farm. One advantage is that
the college has fertile fields aud plenty j
of land in which to carry on thc work.
The dairy farm, for experimental j
stock feeding and raising will soon be |
ic operation. There are now" forty- j
th ree head of cattle which give the j
products, for experiments in butter, j
cheese and original investigation. It is j
expected to raise and compare tbe merits j
of certain breed? of catti? and stock, j
Roadmaking will be illustrated.
In the college department the lecture ?
room will be used for instruction in the
whole field of agriculture, horticulture
and stook raising.
In thb application of the science to
the art the work will be done in the
Seid. The farm, orchard and dairy are
the laboratories for the school of agri?
culture arid g!$e the practice of what is
tmght. The lectures are to be daily of
one hour each.
In the horticultural department
there are thirty-five acres which are
devoted to fruit growing, vineyard, small
fruit, mc-fous ?od Vegetables.- Most of
the supplies are grown for the mess ball.
The department is in ,eharge ,pf that
masterhand, Prof. DuFre. T?i?s year

while in season there is a. well equipped
cannery on the "IHil,'.' willi a capacity
of 500 three-pound cans per day. The
boys are taught this work, Last year
three .tons of tomatoes were put up
The beans and cabbage are put up in
salt, as that method1 :s preferred by Prof.
Newman. . :., .
The young men will have cheap-,and
good washing. A complete laundry has
been built joear Mechanical Hall and .is
equipped with two washers", ironers,
starehers, shapers and other apparatus.
The pl ace is in charge of Mr. E "M..
Shealy, , .of lie wherry. The uniform
charge to each strident for laundry work
is ?0 cents per couth. It is a cheap
l?*ary.,
lt is a somewhat-noteworthy fast that
