Legislature of 1865 convened in buildings on the S. C. College campus since the State House had been lev- eled by Sherman's troopsearlier that year. The war was at an end and the hopes of re-establishing the College were being rekindled by Gov. Per1y's proposal to open the College in the form of a university. A university, he suggested, would draw in more pupils since degrees in specific fields would be offered, the higher enrollment would bring in more money. Perry also pointed out that the majority of the students would be veterans who had been away from school a long time and who would need the versatil- ity of a university curriculum. The legislature approved the Gov- ernor's proposal in the form of a bill establishing the University of South Carolina with eight colleges, giving the Trustees the right to establish schools of law and medicine, provid- ing for a chaplain, and setting the entrance age at 15. Each course would cost S525 and a student could take a minimum of three courses. The pro- fessors were to be paid 351000 yearly plus the fees of the students enrolled in their departments. The University was to be governed by a faculty chair- man and no president was provided for. The bill was ratified on Decem- ber 19, the same day the S. C. College had been approved 60 years before. The University was patterned after the University of Virginia, having only the junior and senior classes. A student could choose his own course and upon completing the require- ments would receive a degree in that field. To receive a B.A. degree one had to complete two literary schools, two science schools and two other schools of his choice. The University opened on -Ian. 10, 1866. In the preceding years the build- ings had been used as hospitals, a prison, shelter for freed slaves and the freedman's bureau. Many refugees from the fire in 1865 remained housed on campus until 1869. In spite of the dilapidated condition, the old college buildings were in better shape than most of Columbia and the stu- dents came. By May, 1866 there were 48 on roll. In general the new students were more mature and well-disciplined as compared to their predecessors. How- ever, when the U.S. Army built a gar- rison on the present site of the Rus- sell House, the Rebels-turned-stu- dents became infuriated. The same blue uniforms they had spent four long years shooting at now marched in front of their campus every day. The professors were forced to repeat- edly warn the students that killing a Yankee in '64 was justified by war, but killing him in '74 would be an illegal assassination. There fart frimds ofthe University? Claw of1884 wer? called the Immortal Four during their college yearr. The University was growing and its only academic set-backs in the first years were the losses of two colleges. The School of Astronomy was discon- tinued after the theft of the telescope and the College of Medicine, which received criticism from the Medical College in Charleston saying one medical school in the state was enough, was ended when funds ran out. Social life in post-war Columbia was more lively than when money had been available. Refugees from Charleston were still in the capital and they added to the spirit. People would party for the joy of being together again in peace. 17

' . 1 Mechanics was a free, three-year col- lege, and under the presidency of William Niles, it boasted 66 students. The college's brief duration was the formation of the Alumni Association during the reunion of the Class of 346 in 1880. john M. McBryde took office after Niles resigned and the college began drifting back to the traditions and classical curriculum of the old S. C. College. In 1883 the South Carolina College was officially reborn, offer- ing two-year as well as four-year degrees. The church colleges across the state began complaining that the free- tuition system at SCC was drawing away prospective students, so to appease them, the SCC trustees estab- lished a token tuition of 840, which was refundable to needy students. Thomas Cooper's ideal of a free col- lege was not entirely defunct. Despite the fact that farmers were calling for a separate agricultural col- lege, SCC bought 70 acres of land adjoining the campus for the expan- sion of its experimental farm. In 1885 the college had 213 stu- dents but enrollment began dropping rapidly each successive year. There- fore, the Trustees agreed to expan- sion, and the second S. C. College gave way to the second University of South Carolina. McBryde remained President, the Columbia campus :Zi mf.- -- - '. sr: remained white, and Claflin College remained black. Under the university system each college had its own dean and faculty. There were 28 teachers and 148 courses for the 12 degrees and 6 certif- icates offered. When Clemson Agricultural Col- lege was founded, the University lost nearly 25 per cent of its students. The loss prompted Gov. Tillman to sug- gest the formation of a means for a cheap, practical educationi' - you guessed it - a third South Carolina College. The new SCC, officialized in 1891, was required to remain within the boundaries of theoretical science, law, literature and the classics. With no longer any great need for cows and fruit trees, SCC relinquished her farm land to Clemson College. At the resignation of McBryde, Dr. james Woodrow became president. The student body dropped as low as 68 in 1893 but suddenly rose to a high of 184 with the added attraction of 13 co-eds, admitted by a legislative act the preceding year. In 1897 President Woodrow was replaced by F. C. Woodward, who four years later was replaced by Benja- min Sloan. These last two administra- tions saw the abolishment of fraterni- ties by the legislature, the linking up of the campus with the new Colum- bia sewerage system and a peak enroll- ment of 301 students. Zi: 5 , At the centennial celebration in 1905, alumni toasted the proposal that the college might expand to broader horizons in the form of a university in the near future.
