Winthrop Normal and Industrial College N ISQO, upon the recommendation of Gov. li. l R. Tillman, the VVinthrop Training School was adopted by the State and made a full State institution, being changed to XVinthrop Normal and lndustrial College. Gov. Tillman appointed a com- mission to visit normal and industrial colleges in other States and report on the practicability of establishing such an institution in South Carolina. This commis- sion, composed of Mr. D. ll. johnson, Nliss Xlary L. Yeargin and Miss Hannah Hemphill, made a favorable report and submitted plans for the new institution. A lloard of Trustees was formed, consisting of the Governor of the State, the Superintendent of Educa- tion, the Chairman of the Committee on Education in the Senate and in the House of Representatives, and seven others elected by the Legislature. After a spirited competition by many of the leading towns in the State, Rock Hill was chosen for the home of the institution. lVorlq was begun on the buildings in 1893, and in the tall of i895 the College doors were thrown open to South Carolina's daughters. The main building is a large, handsome structure. containing recitation rooms, offices, parlors, an audito- rium with a seating' capacity of 1.2oo a lar - ' e gymna- I , ' F- A , sium, and a lll'l1'2l1'3' with more than 4.500 volumes. The main building is connected with the dormitory bv a covered way. At the end of the dormitory. and joined to it by a covered passage, is the iniirmary. All the buildings are heated by steam and lighted by elec- tricity. Each fall a large number of applicants have been denied admittance to the College because of the limited dormitory acctmmmodations. The necessity for l11Hl'C room was recognized by the Legislature, and in 1393 an appropriation was made for the erection of a dormi- tory on the south side of the main building. This new dormitory will be completed before September. There are three cou1'ses ot- study: the normal, the scientific and the literary. Each student is required to take one industrial study. Instruction is given in cook- ing, horticulture, tloriculture, dairying, free-hand and industrial drawing, millinery, dressmalcing, stenog- raphy and typewriting and boolq-keeping. lt is impossible to tell in a tew words all the advan- . v. , .. tages which ll inthrop Lollege olters to her students. llie most cordially invite all of our readers lo come and see for themselves the noble worlt which the College is 5 . flnlllg'
