Dusenbury, Bell Ringer 75 E.S.Oliver, Gymnasium Instructor, four and a half months, 45 Due Miss Bonham, 1902 15 Total $ 27,518.30 Graduates and Honorary Degrees. Thirty-eight students were graduated from the College last session. Of these 23 were Academic students--two of them women; the Law Department furnished 14, and one-M.A.Degree was conferred. The Degree of L.L.D. was conferred upon Judge John Hilary Hudson and General Edward McCrady, and the Degree of Doctor of Letters was conferred upon Henry Nelson Snyder,the President of Wofford College. Number of Students. Up to this date 203 students have matriculated this year. Of this number nineteen are women; the Law Department furnished 21; and 38 are Normal students who have been awarded scholarships under the provision made by the last Legislature; 3 of the 208 are pursuing post-graduate studies. The remainder of these are academic students. Normal Scholarships for Men Teachers. The establishment of the Normal scholarships for Men Teachers while an experiment was believed to be full of promise of usefulness to the schools of the State. So far the experiment has been a most satisfactory one. The scholars are diligent, attentive to duty, and evidently are receiving great benefit from the course of study assigned to them. Attention is called to the accompanying reports of the Professors, and especially, to that of Professor Wardlaw, upon the class work of these men. Your Board is asked to urge upon the Legislature the necessity of continu ing the appropriation for the support of, these scholarships. The Legislative Act referred to provides for one scholarship from each County which exempts from all College fees and is worth, besides, forty dollars a-year. The necessary appropriation, therefore, would call for $1640.00

Eighty-five students are now taking their meals at the Steward's Hall. Excellent Board is furnished at $10 per month. At the present prices of all groceries, however, it takes all of this money to keep the tables up to a high standard. Infirmary. Up to this date there has not been a case of serious sickness in the Infirmary. The health of the students has been excellent. Sewerage. Of the $7500 appropriated by the last Legislature $7453.63 have been expended, leaving a balance of $46.37. The report of Mr. C.C. Wilson, the Engineer in charge, as to these expenditures is herewith submitted. All of the work is of the first class. The comfort derived by the students from even this small completed part of the projected work is very great. Legare and DeSaussure College are still without waterclosets,and no provision whatever has been, made for the Professor's Houses or baths. To complete the work as it should be $8500, which includes $602.87 for baths, will be needed. Mr. C.C.Wilson's specifications and estimate for this work purpose is appended. I do not recommend that part of the estimate on swimming pool and baths, etc, for I know that amount cannot be obtained. This estimate I have withdrawn

PRESIDENT'S OFFICE. report-5 SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE. COLUMBIA, S.C. Reprts of the Professors. Several of the Professors have sent to me reports of the conditions and needs of their Departments which I transmit to you for your action. Recommendations of Facu lty. I submit a series of recommendations from the Faculty, all of which were submitted to your Board during the last session,but none of them was acted upon. Professor Flinn, the Chaplain, dissents from the suggestions as to chapel services. Professor Davis concurs with Professor Flinn. For my part, I would be glad to see the requirement of compulsory, attendance of students at chapel abolished. The compulsory feature not only nullifies the anticipated effect of such services, but it produces much friction. An assembly of all students once a week in the chapel when short talks might be made to them and orders. promulgated, in my opinion would be far better. Centennial. The Board is reminded that in January 1905 the College will have reached its one hundredth birthday, and its assistance is asked to provide for the proper celebration of that event. It is hoped that the College may obtain at least $1000 from the Legislature for that purpose. Athletics. At a meeting of the Joint Athletic Committee of the Board of Trustees and Faculty it was ordered that the Athletics of the College be placed under the management of an Advisory Committee which was to consist of three members of the Faculty, two Alumni, and two students. This has been done with most satisfactory results. The College has withdrawn from all inter-collegiate associations, and has undertaken to manage

The joint Committee, above referred to, also ordered thatnGibbes Green and the adjoining square south of it, should be laid off into Tennis Courts and Golf Links. All expenses of construction and maintenance was to be borne by invited members from towns people. This has been done, and the fees from subscribers will amply provide for such expenses. The sale of that part of the College property, at least,cannot now be urged on account of non-occupancy. --))))((((((-Summary of things asked for: That an effort be made to get an appropriation of $1640 for 1. the Normal Scholarships for Men Teachers. 2.

Recommendation as to Christmas Vacation. 1. The Faculty respectfully, recommend to the Board of Trustees to authorize the Faculty to give a holiday at Christmas, including Christmas and New Year's Day, with one day additional for travel each way. 2. In view of the (early, and prolonged summer heat in Columbia, and of the further fact that almost six entire days a week, instead of five as usual,are here devoted to teaching, the Faculty recommend that no further change be made in the present length of the session. Recommendation as to Electives. That after the year 1903 the number of elective hours required in the Junior and Senior years of the regukar A.B. and B.S.Courses be increased from six to eight; and in the Normal course from three to five. Suggestions as to Chapel Services. That without recommendation on the part of the Faculty the Trustees be requested to consider the expediency of making attendance on chapel and church optional,except when specially ordered by the President or Faculty. Professor Flinn dissents from the reference of the question of chapel, attendance to the Board of Trustees because: 1. there is no reason in the judgement of the undersigned to raise the question involved; 2. neither the interest of the College nor the wishes of its patrons require the abolition of compulsory, chapel attendance; 3. the agitation of the subject by any part of the College authorities would be misunderstood and interpreted to the injury, of the College. Signed: J.William Flinn. Professor Davis concurs.

354 Jan 19, 1904. Petition for exemption of tuition fees  PRESIDENT'S OFFICE. SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE. January 12,1904 COLUMBIA.S.C. To the Honorable The Board of Trustees, of the South Carolina College. GentlemenThe undersigned would respectfully commend to your favorable consideration the propriety of exempting from tuition fees the children of College professors,for the following reasons:viz: 1. Such exemption is a reasonable,proper; and Common academic courtesy, extended to College Professors. 2. Professors' salaries, seldom if everexceeding the limit of a very modest living, are not increased with the increasing prices of the necessaries of life, hence, Professors with several children to be educated, and with no resources beyond their salaries, are often strained to meet the financial demands in supporting their families. Their comfort and efficiency would, therefore, be increased by the desired exemption. 3. Professors usually spend the greater part,of all of their surplus income, if they have any, in the purchase of new books, in attending Summer Schools, Educational and Scientific Assemblies, and in travel for their professional improvement. Hence, the College would be benefited by exempting them from fees which would otherwise be used in strengthening the institution by strengthening its teaching force. Respectfully submitted, J.Wm. Flinn, A.C.Moore, G.A.Wauchope, Chas.W. Bain, Jos. Daniel Pope, M.H.Moore, R.Means Davis, E.L.Green, George McCutchen, F.Horton Colcock, Edward S.Joynes Herman L. Spahr, A.C.Carson, W.B.Burney

Relation between Students and Faculty. The kindest and most harmonious relations have existed between students and Faculty throughout the session. In no case has it been found necessary to resort to severe discipline. The members of the Faculty have worked together as a unit. Number of Students Two hundred and fourteen students have been enrolled during the session/The number in each olass is as follows: Academic students: Seniors 20,Juniors,32,Sophomores 38, Freshmen 81,Speoials 22,Speoial Norm

As a class the 34 Special Normal Students have been well behaved,attentive to duty, and eager to learn. The preparation for College work of many of them--teachers though they were before entering College-was wofully deficient, but all of them without exception have been benefited,many of them wonderfully so. Some of them have failed to pass the final examinations and cannot be advanced. Twenty of them have applied for the renewal of Scholarships. The work the College is doing for these men must result in uplifting the common schools of the State. At its last session the Legislature provided for an additional scholarship from each county. The Faculty recommends the following students be graduated with the grades and degrees indicated: Bachelors of Art May Rebeoca Bookman, with distinotion, James Edwin Belser, with proficiency Leo Hagood Browning with. proficiency, William Evans Davali with proficiency, Madison Peyton Howeli with proficiency, ir Herman Patrick Johnson, with proficiency Margaret Bruce MoDonald with proficiency, Catharine Isabel Moore, with proficiency, James Sims Spigener, with proficiency.

Charleston College 6 Infirmary The unprecedented number of students ill during the session with diseases which were contagious emphasizes the necessity for a separate ward in the Infirmary for such diseases. Since my connection with the College I have never known in any session so many cases of measles and mumps among the students as were developed during the session just ended. The Special Normal Students, although they were mostly men of maturity,seemed to be especially susceptible to these dieeases. The measles was of a partioularly virulent nature,and many eases were followed by pneumonia. In Mr.P.R.Sandifer's case-- a normal student-- death ensued from pneumonia which followed an attack of measles. Small pox also made its appearance among the students for the first time within my knowledge. There were five cases all told. The disease, however, was of a very mild character. After persistent effort every student was vaccinated, and I think ehat it should be required that every new student should be able to show that he had been successfully vaccinated before his matriculation papers should be completed. Steward's Hall The Steward's Hall has been conducted admirably. The snow white linen, the glass, and the table ware shining like burnished silver,the neatness of the waiters, and the efficiency of their service--and above all, the presence in the Hall at meal time of a refined and attractive lady , makes it, I believe, the most delightful students' boarding place in the South. The fare is abundant and excellent. As now conducted, its refining influence is an invaluable educational feature. The conducte of the students in the Hall is admirable. The price of board was $10.00 per month. The balance in favor of the Hall on the 4th June  was $104.30

The Board of Management by direction of your Board consists of three members from the faculty anf three students--two of the latter being elected by the student body, and all of them exempt from payment of board. This exemption causes among the students--and justly-very great dissatisfaction, and is entirely unnecessary and indeed harmful. Your Board is respectfully urged to allow free board only to the Assistant Manager. He only of the three students earns it, and to him only are the students willing that free board should be granted. Mind you, the students are paying board for the other two idle members of the committee. A cold storage room and a laundry room are greatly needed for the economical and comfotable management of the Hall. Comfort and economy would also be promoted if provision were made for the purchase and keeping of four good cows. A sum considerably above the price of feed and care of the animals would by this arrangement be saved monthly.

Pres. Sloan's 4th report Athletics At a meeting,held October 14th 1908, of the Joint Athletic Committee ---Mr.J.G.Davis and Mr.J.J.McMahan from the Board of Trustees, and Professors Bain and Colcock from the Faculty, and the President of the College, the following action was taken. (1) Prof. COlcock was authorized tohave Golf Links laid out on Gibbes Green and the adjoining square-the property of the College--and citizens were to be permitted to play thereon upon payment of an Annual Fee of $10. (2) Mr. Eugene McCarthy was employed as Physical Director and he was guaranteed $600. (8) The Physical Directtor should teach fencing and boxing to such students as might apply for lessons, and that each student who entered should pay two a,fee of $3 for the first month and $1 per month for each additional month. (4) That owing to limited space and apparatus,only Freshman and Sophomores should be compelled to attend other Athletic exercises. (5) That all connection of the South Carolina College with the South Carolina Inter Collegiate Athletic Association should be severed, and tgat an application which had been made for membership in the Southern Inter collegiate Association should be withdrawn. (This was done because in the opinion of the Committee each College could best manage its own athletio affairs, and if this management could now be made satisfactory, then athletics should be abolished entirely. (6) That the athletics of the College should be completely entrusted to an Advisory Committee consisting of theee members from the Faculty, two from the Alumni and two from the students --(the members selected from the Faculty were Professors Bain and Colcock and the President from the Alumni,Mr. Christie Benet and Mr. Beverley Herbert were selected. The students elected Mr. Ralph Foster and Mr. Eugene Oliver to represent them. (7)That the advisoryr Committee should draw up,a set of rules for governing athletics and submit them for approval to the Joint Ath. letic Committee. This set of rules approved by the Joint Commitee is herewith submitted. (8)Mr. J.Q.Davis resigned the Presidency of the Joint Committee, and urged the election of the College President for the Presidency of the Advisory Committee. This was done. The Golf Links were laid out and have been paid for by fees from citizens. Students are permitted to play without payment of fees. The grounds are beautiful and have prwed to be a valuable adjunct to both

The returns from fencing and boxing lesMc Carsons wære small. The feature of compulsory attendance upon gymnastic thy. exercise was not without friction. The College has reason to congratulate itself because of the withdrawal from outside athletic associations. The submission of athletics to the Advisory Board has worked like a charm.

June 7, 1904--6Law Lectures. During the session lectures were delivered to the Law classes by Associate Justice Eugene B.Gary (2); U.S. Judge Chas. H.Simonton (2); Associate Justice C.A. Woods; Judge W.C. Benet; Mr. Robert W.Shand; Mr. Wm.H.Lyles,; U.S.Judge WIllaim H.Brawley(lecture read by Judge Andrew Crawford): Mr. J.P.Carey; and Mr.S.J.Simpson. The College is deeply grateful to these distinguished jurists for so freely giving their time and talents for the promotion of the interests of the Law Department. Each one of these lectures was full of instruction and of immense benefit to those who listened. It is greatly to be desired that all of them should be gathered together and printedin a pamphlet. Provision should be made for a continuation of these lectures during the session of 1904-1905. Faculty Reports and Recommendations Professors Pope, Wauchope, Joynes, Green and Instructor Spahr have submitted reports to the Board which are appended to this report. A resolution offered by Dr.Joynes asking that steps be taken to memorialize the Legislature at its next session to change the title of the College to that of University was adopted and Dr.Joynes was invited by the Faculty in conjunction with the President to present this resolution to the Board. This resolution is also appended to the report and it is hoped that the Board may see fit fit to invite Dr.Joynes at your convenience to appear before you and read it. A programme for the celebration of the centennial in January is also appended. The President was also instructed to confer with the Board as to the advisability,of abolishing the requirement of compulsory attendance at Chapel and Church. Advertising The plan adopted by the Executive Committee last summer of advertising the College in the county newspapers of the State had a wonderfully beneficial effect in at least securing the good will of the Press-and that is of great value. It is to be hoped that this step will again be taken during the summer.

The students themselve are enthusiast advocates of taking mean means to increase the attendance at College. They have held two enthusiastic meetings, at which speeches were made by members of the Faculty and by the students urging the adoption of plans to accoomplish this end. A committee has been appointed composed of two members from the Faculty, two Alumni and two students and a corresponding Central Secretary located at Columbia, whose business shall be to conduct all correspondence and lock after the appointment of suitable students to conduct the  campaign in the several counties. Mr. George W. Vaughan was selected the Central Secretary, and it is asked that he be allowed $10 per month and necessary stationery etc. to carry out the instructions of the Committee during the months of holiday. 
June 7, 1904. Executive Committee Action of the Executive Committee 1. On January 27th it was ordered that the funds of the College be deposited on the 1st of February with the National Loan and Exchange Bank of Columbia. 2. That advertisements for bids on $15,000 insurance be inserted in the News and Courier and in the State. The Insuranoe would have expired on March 17th 1904. None of the standard companies would bid on the insurance,so it was finally distributed among the several companies in the City authorized to do business in the State. In no case was insurance given to a compary, without the approval of the Comptroller General. The policies are all on deposit with him. The rate was 2% and the entire premium paid was $3,000. 3. A committee of the Board and Faculty was asked for to devise plans and undertake work looking to the proper celebration of the centennial. 4. March 15th Mr.C.C.Wilson's xxxx plans (for building waterclosets,plumbing and making connection with City Sewerage,in rear of Rutledge College, and also plumbing and connecting with Sewerage for College professors Houses, with such necessary alterations and construct ion of buildings as were found necessary) were approved, and it was ordered that proposals for this work should be advertised for two weeks. In April the contract for plumbing was awarded to R.G.Ortagus, provided he should give an approved bond for $2,000. His bid was $4203.25,that being the lowest bid submitted. For the necessary new buildings, additions,and attractions to old buildings the lowest bid was that of Mr.Gaston: he failed to give the necessary bond. Mr. Barrett the next lowest bidder,refused to give bond, so the contract was finally awarded to the third lowest bidder, Padgett and Postell,for $2418.00,upon their filing the required bond of $1,000.
