PROF. C. S. WILLIAMSON. CS. WILLIAMSON was born at Culleoka, Tenn. He prepared for the university at Culleoka Academy • and entered Vanderbilt in 1898, where he took the Degree of B. S. in 1902, and M. S. in 1903. While in Vanderbilt he served as assistant in the chemical laboratory for two years, and as assistant in the Geological laboratory for one year. He came to Wofford in 1903, to fill the Chair of Chem- istry and Biology in the absence of Professor Waller, who is taking special work at Johns Hopkins. Pro- fessor Williamson has proved himself capable of getting hard work out of his pupils, and doubtless has a bright future before him as a teacher. PROF. J. A. QAMEWELL. J A. GAMEWELL was born at Rutherfordton, N. C. He was prepared for college in the Wofford Pre- • paratory School, and graduated from Wofford College in 1871. He began his life work as a teacher in the Boys ' High School at Mt. Sterling, Ky., where he remained for four years. In 1875 he was elected to the Chair of Latin Language and Literature in Wofford, and has occupied that position since that time. Professor Gamewell has been President of the Wofford College Lyceum since its beginning, and it is in this capacity, perhaps, that his work is most appreciated by Wofford students, as well as by those of Converse, and the people of Spartanburg in general. His administration is something unique in the way of lyceum management. It has attracted attention far and wide on account of the character of the men brought to Spartanburg. Professor Gamewell does not rely on the regular lyceum bureaus for lectures, but whenever a man of prominence can be found, neither pains nor money is spared to bring him to Spartanburg. By working this independently. Professor Gamewell gets select men such as no one lyceum could control. Not only is Wofford indebted to Professor Gamewell for his untiring labors, but equally so are Furman, Clem- son and others whom he has taken into his lyceum circle. In this age, when the Young Men ' s Christian Association is taking such deep hold upon the religious life of the Nation, it is an interesting tact to note that Professor Gamewell was President of the first Asso- ciation organized in Spartanburg. He is still, as are all of Wofford ' s Professors, enthusiastic in the support of the Association movement. 17

DR. D. D. WALLACE. DD. WALLACE was born in Columbia, S. C, May 23, 1874. He was prepared for college at Newberry • Male Academy, and the preparatory department of Newberry College. He took the fresh year at Newberry College, and went to Wofford in the fall of 1891, entering the Sophomore Class. He graduated at Wof¥ord in 1894, leaving a fine record behind him as a thorough student. While at Wofford College honors were showered upon him, one of the most important of which was that of representing Wofford in an inter-collegiate debate with Furman, in which Wofford won. Another was that of Editor-in-Chief of the Wofford College Journal. Linder his control the Journal work was systematized, and the publication placed upon a better basis. He went to Vanderbilt in 1894, and pursued courses in History, English and Economics. After re- maining at Vanderbilt for two years, he decided to enter active life and accepted a position in the Carlisle Fitting School, at Bamberg, S. C. Having taught here for two years he returned to Vanderbilt, and after a year of stupendous work, took his Ph. D. Degree in the summer of 1899. His thesis was on the Constitu- tional History of South Carolina from 1725 to 1775, a subject of great interest to him. and one which he expects to develop at greater length in the future. Dr. Wallace became Adjunct Professor of History and Economics in Wofford College in 1899, and was made Full Professor in 1902. He has written a number of magazine and special newspaper articles on subjects generally connected with Southern history and economic and sociological condition. As a writer he is strong and clear, and has attracted much attention. He has a bright future before him in the field of History. PROF. HUGH T. SHOCKLEY. HUGH T. SHOCKLEY was born and reared in Spartanburg, S. C. He was educated at Wofford Col- lege where he graduated in 1900 with the Degree of A. B. One year later he received the Degree of A. M. He studied Gymnastics in special summer course at Southern Chatauqua. Professor Shock- ley has been instructor in Gymnastics at Wofford since 1900. From 1900 to 1903 he held the additional po- sition of Assistant Head Master of Wofford Fitting School, and during the past year has assisted in the Eng- lish department of Wofford College. Professor Shockley originated the system and founded the School of Psycho-Pneumonic Gymnastics. Professor Shockley possesses those qualities which demand success and beginning of his career is the prophecy of a bright future. 18
