D. W. Daniel Public speaking when every ' jesture counts Little Joe Hunter Calculus — sure you will learn Doc Taylor Relaxation after an hour of Shakespeare Misery Holmes History, from the beginning of time GENERAL SCIENCE PRIOR to 1925, there was no School of General Science at Clemson. From the founding of the college until 1914 the president of the college served as head of the Academic Department. This department embraced the academic courses of all the various schools — it was essentially a service department. Beginning in 1914, heads of divisions served as acting directors — the first being Professor Daddy Furman. In 1918 the pres- ent Dean, Dr. D. W. Daniel, was made director. The name of the department was changed to Arts and Science in 1925, and to the School of General Science in 1932. The department remained a service department from the founding until 1925, but since that time it has offered a four-year course leading to the Bachelor of Science degree, and three-year pre-pro- fessional courses for preparation for medicine, law, den- tistry, etc. The majority of the General Science classes are held in the Administration building. When this building was rebuilt in 1895, the entire Mathematics de- partment moved temporarily to the Chemistry Building. Psychology and Sociology are now taught in the Library, having been moved from the main building in 1937. Prep Bradley Business law, and still human! John Lane puts personality into grammar

the present library stands, and here Col. J. S. Newman, the first professor of Agriculture, had his classes, but it was devoted mainly to use of the Experimental Sta- tion, and most of the actual teaching was in the Admin- istration Building. This building was moved back in 1903 to make room for a new building which was used as a library and agri- cultural building combined. In 1898, a Horticulture Building had been erected at a total cost of $1000, re- lieving but slightly the need for a place where agricul- ture might be taught exclusively. In 1911 the Dairy Building and Barn were built for $42,000, and again the original Agricultural Building had to be moved. Some of the agriculture classes were placed in this building, making somewhat lighter the burden of already over- crowded classrooms. On April 1, 1925, fire destroyed completely the Library — even the walls that were left standing had to be taken down. By 1926, the new Library was completed on the same site, and it, to- gether with the Main Building, housed most of the agri- culture classes until 1937, when the present Agriculture Building was built. For a long time the School of Agriculture has waited amid most adverse conditions for a plant of its own, and it is only fitting that they should at last obtain a building that places them up at the top among the Agricultural Schools of the nation.
