Excerpt from The Centennial Celebration of the Granting of the Charter to the South Carolina College: Held in Charleston S. C., Dec. 19 20, 1901, at the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition Since the last publication of our m agazine. The South Carolina College has celebrated its one hundredth birthday. And truly the 19th of December was as complete a celebration as any anniversary ever held anywhere. The sons of Caro lina gathered in Charleston with all eagerness to do honor to their grand old alma wafer, and with the aid of the resident alumni of Charleston, the alumni and students of Charleston College and the people of Charleston, they made this day more than dear to the memory of every Carolina man. Before giving any description of the big celebration it is desired that through these columns the Charleston alumni and the alumni and students of Charleston College be thanked most heartily for the courtesies extended our students and alumni on that august oeca-sion. And, too, we wish to thank the newspapers, and especially The News and Ciurier, for the splendid write-ups given our College. The issue of the lgth of The News and Courier is one that every Carolina man should keep on file. It contains more South Carolina College matter than any publication of the kind ever printed - thanks to our enterprising alumnus, Mr. August Kohn, of The News and Courier. Very nearly eight full pages are de voted to specially prepared biographies and cuts of our most noted 'honor grad u ates.' These sketches were collected with much difficulty by Prof. R. Means Davis, who, with a board of editors is hard at work collecting biographies of all the alumni, to be published in a bound book.
