464 Pres. Sloan 9th report, Jan. 1907THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA JANURARY, 1907 To the Board of Trustees, University of South Carolina. Gentleman: I respectfully submit herewith the Semi-Annual report of the President of the University, including Professors reports for the half-year ending December 31st, 1906, and the Treasurer's report for the entire year ending same date. NUMBER OF STUDENTS. Up to this date 121 new students have matriculated. The total enrollment up to date is 278. Of these 179 are pursuing academic courses; 29 are law students; 87 are special scholarship students and 13 have Post Graduate work. Eighteen women are included in the total enrollment. The special scholarships still seem to "go begging", although there is no class of students more faithful or who are benefitted more than the young men who receive these scholarships. It must be that the discrepancy between the value of these scholarships and these offered by ether State Institutions deter young men from applying for them. FACULTY AND OFFICERS.

His last visit in October was made to Hartsville Schools. In all of these visits and in all of the speeches Professor Hand's efforts were directed to bettering existing schools and establishing High Schools in the State. It is impossible for him to fill the demande made from all parts of the State for his services. His full report of the work already done will be filed with the Board at its meeting. With all of his field work he has found time also to do excellent work in the University the opening of the Session. ASSOCIATE PROFFESOR. It is urgently requested that the Board should promote Mr. A. C. Carsen, Instrustor in Physics, to the rank of Associate Professer in Physics, with a salary of $1800.00 Mr. Carson has been for several years practically in charge of the Department of Physics. Mr. Carson bears the brunt ef the work of that Department, and most admirably has the work been done.

A new and commedieus Infirmary, built with some regard to the proper care of the sick among three hundred students, is an absolute necessity. The Infirmary now in use is wholly unfit for the purpose: it is too small, too cramped in every way and with no provision whatever for contagious diseases. In it there is but one room for a patient critically ill and but two wards, both of which are in the second story of the building and are approached by a narrow, steep and chocked stairway. In all there are but 12 single beds. With an attendance of three hundred students, this provision for the sick among them is, I may say, criminally inadequate. Should an epidemic of any contagious disease break out among the students the Infirmary would be filled to overflowing - and no guarantee can be given that such an outbreak may not occur - the City Hospital would refuse to admit such cases and a separate building would have to be rented to receive them. I refer you to the enclosed report of Dr. Wannnamaker in regard to the typhoid cases occuring among students during the session. Necessarily the expense of the Infirmary have been largely increased, but the young men had to be taken care of. I also enclose a report from the Board of Physicians summoned to inquire into the cause ef the fever. This bulletin and succeeding ones were mailed to you individually. Before the meeting of the Board I shall have detailed plans ready te submit to you for a new Infirmary. As fas as I can see at least $10,000- will be needed for this building. LIBRARY. A extention to the Library building is absolutely necessary. The building is filled to overflowing with books, pamphlets and files of old newspapers - historical - and the room for Law books is too small and net at all adapted to its purpose. I recemmend that a fire proof structure be appended to the present library building for stering the most valuable books now in the library and for the reception of such books and other ouries which the library could easily obtain of there were provided a safe place for storage for such material. I hope to have ready to submit to you at your next meeting plans in detail, with estimate cost, for such a structure. I reccomend also that the offices of Librarian and Treasurer be separated. The work of Librarian and Treasurer is now too heavy for any one person to accomplish with precision. The Treasurer should have an office contiguous to that of the President. As new conducted the payment of bills, reception of fees and the transcantion of all business connected with the financial affairs of the University could not be be mere imconveniently arranged. The Treasurer and Librarian although thoroughly faithful and competent has far too much on hand to be accomplished with satisfactory thoroughness. 473 474 President Sloan's report Jan. 19, 1907- coutin.

Your attention is specially called to the following recommendations of the Faculty: 1st. That the Faculty recommend to the Board of Trusteses to authorize the organization and publication of a Commercial Course of three years - lending te a certificate - with option of an additional year of study leading to a degree - and that the Board be requested to ask the Legislature to provide $3000, for a departmemt of Commercial Science and Practice in the University. 2nd. That the Trustees be requested to memorialize the Legislature, asking authority to restrict the attendance of women in this Institution - without prejudise however to students now matriculated. It is further recommended to the Board that such attendance be restricted to woom qualified to pursue graduate courses of study. In both resolutions the Faculty was w except in the 2nd one to which Professor Davis dissponted. INCREASE OF PROFESSORS SALARIES. The cost of living in Columbia has increased so predigiously that it is with the utmost difficulty that Professors are able te make both ends met I, therefere, correctly recommend that their salaries be restored to the old mark - $2000. 477 Commercial Course Attendance of women students Increase of Professor's Salary. 478 Dr. Greens petition PROFESSOR GREENS PETITION Professor E. L. Green promotes the following petition to the Trustees: E. L. would respectfully that an increaseinmy salary he granted me. My services here for the last six and a half years i in which I are known to you, so that I need not metion the work in which I have been engaged, but would ask your attention to t___ portion of my report dealing with the work of the department." I hope Professor Green's salary will be raised from $1200 to $1500. His work certainly deserved to be rewarded by this increase. SUMMARY OF THINGS ASKED FOR. siste 1st.

Nearly all of Prof. Hand's time is taken up in visiting the Secondary Schools and in making addresses at various points in the State. He is not only indefatigable but most efficient in his work. His salary, except $100 which is paid from the University appropriation, is paid by the Southern Educational Board. All of the Professors have done excellent work during the Session and harmony prevails in the Faculty. Your attention is called to their reports, submitted herewith. STUDENTS. I am sorry to report that a feeling of unrest seems to be prevalent among the students. This has been particularly noticeable during the second term of the session. There is evidently a strong tendency - a most deplorable one - towards the establishment of two castes among them - the social position of the student at his home being the determining element in drawing the line between the castes. The same spirit of lawlessness also which, unfortunately, is now too prevalent in all communities is at times manifest in this community. The laws which pinch are exceedingly difficult of execution. Great tact and firmness I know are the only sure remedies for both of these evils and perhaps your President is not up to the mark in these qualities, but his task, it seems to me, is greatly increased by the fact that students may approach legislators and seek, with encouragement from them and with good hope of success, to have reversed by the legislature certain acts of the Board of Trustees to which the administration of the affairs of the University has been entrusted. It is as if the private soldier in one of the companies of a regiment should go to his Captain to have an order of the Colonel of the regiment nullified. If such a thing wore possible what would be the state of discipline in that regiment? INFIRMARY. The health of students since the outbreak of typhoid fever last Fall has been good. There have been no cases of serious sickness. We have had only light ailments to deal with. MESS HALL. The average attendance monthly at the Mess Hall has been over one hundred and it has been well managed in every way. Financially it is safe in spite of the extraordinary increase of prices of all food stuffs. If this increase continues to grow, however, I afraid board cannot, next session, be retained 11 per month. NEW HOUSES. As you know the construction of the professors new houses was awarded by the Board to Mr. Shand. The committee appointed by the Board at its last meeting to arrange definitely with him for this construction met with him, upon notification that he wasready with his plans, selected the plans and instructed him to proceed at once with the work; this has not yet been done, but Mr. Shand promises to have the houses completed early in the Fall. RECOVERING BUILDINGS. The last legislature appropriated $2,800 for recovering with tin the roofs of Science Hall and three of the professors houses on the Campus. The Executive Committee awarded the contract for this work to the Barr Hardware Company of Greenville, S. C. They were notified immediately of the award, and promised President Sloan's 10th report, June 1907#4. President's Report. To begin the work at the earliest possible daate. They ordered hope the work may now be rapidly pushed to completion. REQUESTS. (1) Associate Professor H. C. Davis has been awarded a scholarship in the University of Chicago and in order to avail himself of its splendid opportunities for scholastic improvement asks for a year's leave of absence. During his absence Associate Professor L. T. Baker, with his consent and that of Professors Wardlaw and Wauchope, could be assigned to Prof. Davis' duties, provided an instructor at a small salary, to be taken from the amount appropriated for Prof. Davis' salary, should be employed to take some of Prof. Baker's classes. Such an instructor - a capable one - could easily be selected from among the University graduates, who wish to pursue graduate work at the University for a compensation of $200. Please see Dr. Wauchope's report in regard to this request. I, join with him in hertily recommending that the leave be granted and further that a stipend of Prof. Davis' salary be allowed him. (2) Your attention is specially called to that part of Dr. Joynes' report which refers to the large amount of work required in the Department of Modern Languages and to the necessity of retaining the services of Mr. Bradley. (3) I again eernestly request that compulsory attendance at chapel every week day be no longer required, and that such attendance be required only once a week for the purpose of promulgating orders and for instruction by lectures or otherwise. During the twenty-seven years of my connection with this institution the attempted enforcement of this requirement has been a never ending source of friction and trouble. No good, from a religious point of view can be expected from a forced attendance of young men upon religious exercises. Is it right, indeed, in a State institution to require young men, reared in a religious faith different from that of the officiating Chaplain, to attend religious services under him? Denominational Colleges may have such a requirement but now, it is rarely found in them. Let the services be continued and the attendance be voluntary, and I am sure that it will be as great as now, and the good derived vastly greater. I will add that parents themselves seem to be indifferent in regard to this matter. Four times a year, they are informed as to the chapel attendance of their sons, and never yet have I had from one of them, voluntarily, an expression of disapproval for even the most marked disregard of this duty. Very respectfully submitted, (Signed) Benjamin Sloan, President. 495 Leave of absence for Prof. H.C. Davis.
