We are still young, and our history is so well known that it may seem unnecessary to tell it here 3 but we can never lose an opportunity of putting on record our gratitude to the State for the excellent manner in which she has provided for the education of her daughters. We have already mentioned-in the sketch of the life of our president-the establishment, in 1886, of the 'Win- throp School for Teachers. In the same year, at a meeting of the State Agricultural Society, Senator B. R. Tillman offered a resolution advocating the normal and industrial education of women, and four years later, on his election to the oflice of governor, he recommended, in his inaugural address, the appointment of a commission to report on the practicability of the establishment by the State of a college devoted to such instruction. On the report of this com- mittee, composed of Mr. D. B. Johnson, Miss Mary L. Yeargin, and Miss Hannah Hemphill, an act creating The YVin- throp Normal and Industrial College was passed December, 1891, by the General Assembly of South Carolina. As is indicated by the name, the Winthrop Training School was accepted as the zzzzffens of the State institution. It is simply impossible, in the space allowed us, to give you any just conception of what the State has done for us--you must come to see us to find out that. The picture on the opposite page shows the main building, which is devoted entirely to academic work, the dormitory, and the inhrmaryg all connected by covered passage-ways. Each building is heated by steam and lighted by electricity. Three principal courses of study are offered: Normal Course with Industrial Studies, Scientific Course with Industrial Studies, and Literary Course with Industrial Studies. Any student who is graduated from either of these courses receives the degree of A. B. and a diploma, which, for those completing the Normal Course, is n Zzfe Izkwzxa in leach Zill fha' pzzblzr scfmofs of ifzf Sfnif. A number of scholarships are offered, each county being allowed as many as it has members in the House of Representatives. ' The cost of attending is small-as small as it is possible to make it while securing the best service in all the departments. It seems to be the object of the authorities to make Winthrop good enough for the richest and cheap enough for the poorest.
