Jefferson Hotel,
Columbia, s. c.,
Jawary 22, 19300
A special meeting of the Board of Visitors of The Citadel,
the Milit~ry College of South Carolina, was called for this day ~t
eleven oclock AM.
PRESENT& -- 'flro Jno. P. Thomc.3, Chairman, Col. Spivey,
Mr. estmoreland and Col. Bond, Presidento
quorum not being present it was decided to discuss the
following business informally subject to approval at a later meeting.
The meeting was called to consider the Budget for 1930,
and any other business needing the a ttention of the Bo~rd.
?resident Bond submitted the followinJ report and the
recommendations made by him after discussion were adopted,
1
January 20, 1930
To the Board of Visitors of The Citadel:
Gentlemen:
The proposed bill for State Colleges to retain
certain fees for building purposes and to bo rrov, from the
Sinking Fund Commission a sum not to exceed the amo~1t of "t!iese
fees collected at the various colleges during the seven precedL't
years, is submitted for your approval. This bill wa □ drawn up
at a conference of the Presidents of the State Colleges in consul tat ion with the Chairman of the Sinking Fund Gommittot, -.on
January 3d. At that time it was thought best to limit the amount
which a college might borrow to the total fees collected in the
five preceding years, but it would seem advisable to raise the
number to seven. The amount which was collect&d at ~he Citadel
during the past five years is shown in the f012..0v,ing table:
1924-25
1925-26
1926-27
1927-28
1928-29
$ 9,500
12,000
13,300
19,000
18,500
Vli th the pre sent tuition charge of $40 a year
our income at The Citadel will average about $1?~000 a year,
This amount is too small for us to plan a.hy large building cohstruction. There are two ways in which the amount can be increased somewhat.
1.
to require each;';year a "registration fee" of $5
for every cadet, and also a room-rent of $la month for the nine
months of the session.
2.
Beginning in September, 1930, increase the tuicadets from outside the State of South Carolina to $100
It is estimated that we can obtain about $9000
from the first source, and about $9000 additional from the seconu
which would increase the total of 11 undesignated fees 11 available
for building purposes to about $36,000 a year. I recommend the
adoption of these fees.
�Mr. John P. Grace, the "district member" of the
State Highway Commission, who has sh.own a considtJrable inter11st
in our desire to have the roads in The Citadel grounds paved,
suggests that the Board of Visitors havo a bill introduced in
the Legislature putting our roads under the State Highway system ;
in whioh case .the Commission oan proceed with the work.
The item in our budget for paving these roads
was d isapproved by the Budget Cornmi ttee, and J✓:r. Grace's suggestion is in line with the Governor's views on the subject. I
r eco mmend the adoption of this plan .
I do not sup pose that the sta te Highway depa r t ment
woul d also construct side-walks, and I reco mmend t ha t an i te rn
of $17 00 be put in the budget for this pur p oses
In vieTI of the fact that the Gov ernm
ent camp s
begi n early in June, and that our Juniors, 139 in numbe r, ha ve
to attend these camps, it seems fesira bl e on t h is ac c ount, as
we ll as for so m other reasons, to make a cha ng ti of one we ek
e
i n our colle ge session, - beginning~ week earlier in September,
and closing a week earli 8r in June. ~ re commend that t he dat t
of Commencement this year be fixe d for June 3d. and the opening
day of the session of 1930-1931 be made Septe m
ber 13th.
Respectfully,

Senator v.m. s. Legare&
was unanimously adopted:
The following resolution offered by Mr. Kreps
"Resolutiori offered by Mr. Kreps and adopted by the
Bo;;.,rd of Visitors of The Citf.1.del, June 2, 1930.
Since our l~st meeting, we have been called upon to
mourn the tragic death of one of our highly esteemed members.
Death came to Vmi. S. Legare, the Senator from Charleston
County ~nd to his confrere, the Senator from Orangeburg County,
in a deplorable automobile accident near the City of Orangeburg
on February 7, 1930.
By virtue of being Chairman of the Military Gonmittee of
the Senate, Senator Legare was an ex-officio member of the Board,
and g~ve time und his beat judgment to its deliberations, as he
did tc all the public duties develoving upon him.
His fine personality and agreeable manners made h:im a
congenial and helpful co-worker, and the Board deplores his untimely
ta.king-off.
1,e, therefore, desire to record our ovm sorrow in the
kinute-Bock of the Board, and to extend to his bereaved widow and
frunily our sincGre sympathy in the distress which has con;e upon them."
To the Contingent Fund Committee•

From the Board of Visitors of 'Ihe Citadelt
The Board of Visitors of The Ci tad el ..
The Contingent Fund Cow.mittee.
Gentlemen•
At the l ast session of the Legislature, when the Appropriation Bill
was considered in free conference, an item of $2200 {among others) was cut out
of the appropriation for The Citadel. Cf this amount, $1700 was for concrete
walk-ways in The Citadel grounds. As the bui]dings at The Citadel, are separated
by considerable distances, it is necessary for classes to march in all kinds of
weather on walks which are at present unpaved, and which are muddy in wet weathi:,r.
�For several years we have had an item in Tae Citadel budget for concrete roads
and sidewalks, but have never been able to get the appropriation. The need for
the sidewalks is immediate. 'lhe finu of Weston and Brooker, of Columbia, have
donated 150 t ons of crushed rock, and it is estimated that the other D'.literials,
and the labor can be obtained at a cost of $1700. 'Ihe Board of Visitors earnestly
ask the Corr,mittee to appropriate this amount from the ~ontingent Fund in order
th~t this important work may be done during the summer holidays.
Respectfully,
( s)
John P. Thomas,
Chairman.
Adopted.
Colonel and Mrs. Bond invited the Board to dine with them, the invitation was
accepted and the Board was most delightfully entertained and expressed their
appretiiation.
Report of Fresidentz
l
The report of President Bond was then read by him.
Curriculum1
The scholastic records will show that there are still many deficiencies in the lower classes, due to faulty prepttration, lack of habits of study, and
in some cases of ability.
The proble~ of freshman failures is a continuing subject for discussion
by high school and colleg• faculties. For some years, The Citadel faculty ha·s
given earnest study to the matter, and this year submit for the approval of the
Board a modification of the curriculum, which I believe is worthy of trial.
The present courses in the freshman class are mathematics (higher algebra
and trigonometry), physics, French, English and History. It is proposed to postpone the course in physics to the sophomore class, and substitute for it a review
course i n elementary algebra. as the proper preparation for the work in physics,
which is largely a study of applied mathematics.
While two years vrork in high school algebra is required for admission
to our freshman class, it often happens that this work has been done in the first
two years of the high school course, and the student goes to college without having studied any algebra for the two preceding years. For any satisfactory work
in a science like physics, a fair proficiency in the use of algebra, geometry,
and trigonometry is essential. Tue faculty recommends also that the curriculum
of the sophomore class belightened by pennitting students to drop either the course
in history or the course in mechanical drawing, both of which ~re now required in
that yeara
·
It is hoped that the adoption of these two changes will diminish the
number of failures in the tvro lower classes.
Appropriation by Legis+atures By Mr. Rivers, that the next Budget to the Legislature show the lump sum for Progessors salaries and not the itemized salaries as
at presents
APPROPRIATION BY LEGISLATURE
Last January v
1hen the Citadel budget was submitted to. the Legislature,
it contained estimates which called for an appropriation of $232,954.77. As finally
passed, the Bill made an appropii~tion of $203,092.14, showing a cut of 13 per cent.
'Mlile acknwledgment must be made that the Legislature dealt generously
the the Citadel as a general rule in the item of salaries, there were some small
cuts in the salaries of the assistant-professors which I feel sure would not have
been made if the members of the General Assembly had been fully aware of the merits
of the cases.
�-fJ.3
Tl
Captain YcAlistera
The el:unination of the item for the salary of the Director of Cadet
Affairs, (Item No.4) waa most unfortunate. At The Citadel this is a very necessary official, as he is charged with the oversight and control of a nuober of iitportant student organizations. It will be unadvisable for the students to be in
charge of activities involving the collection and expenditure of many thousands of
dollars. A responsible bonded officer of the college is, therefore, necessary for
the supervision of these affairs and a proper account of the funds involved.
'Ihe athletic activities for the season now closing show an income and
expenditure of over $40,000. The financial statement of the Bull Dog, (the college
paper). shoYs receipts of $2200, and of the Sphinx, (the college annual), of
$7118. The Class Fund for social entertaiments amounts to $3200, and the Cadet Canteen
does a business of about $12,000 a year. 'Ihe aggregate of these figures shows that the
Director of Cadet Affairs looks after the expenditure of about $65,000 annually for
non-collegiate activities of the cadets.
'!he salary of Capt. McAlister, the Director of Cad Et Affairs, was paid by
the State for the months of January, February and March of this year. It will be
necessary to provide the salary for the balance of the year for which he was engaged,
--up to September 20th-- from fees collected from pay cadets. It is imperative,
also, in my judgment, that this officer be retained for the next session. I would,
therefore, recommend the re-election of Captain lfcAlister at his present salary of
$2400 for the next college year, and that his salary be paid from the proceeds of
the matriculation-fee of $5.00 to be charged each cadet next year.
Approved.
Ca.pt. D. s. t".cAlister, Director of Cadet J.ffairs• re-elected at salary
of $2400.00 per year.
Adopted,
HONORARY DEGREES.
At the commencement a year ago, upon the recommendation of the faculty,
the Board of Visitors conferred the first honorary degrees of The Citadel, -- the
degree of LL.D. upon the only two alumni of Civil \\hr days, at that time living. In
the pust year both of these graduates have died, -- Mr. Orlando Sheppard, Class of
1865, on December 14th, at the age of 85 years, and Mr. R. o. $ams, Class of 1861,
and "Oldest Living Graduate" at the time, on March ~th, at the age of 89 yea.rs.
'Ihat the roll of alumni contains many names worthy to be thus honored by
their Alma Mater may be confidently asserted, but the faculty believes that the number of honorary degrees that should be conferred at any one Commencement should be
small if the degree is to carry the distinction to be desired. They, therefore, believe that in presenting to the Board the names of four alumni of 'lbe Citadel for
the degree of LL.D. they are recommending the maxi,mum number that should be conferred
thie year. 'Ihree of these are member of the Class of 1886, now the senior alumni
class• Thomas Perrin Harrison, Ph.D., Dean of North Carolina Coll•ge of Agriculture
and Engineering, Raleigh, N. c., James Pinckney Kinard, Ph.D., president of Winthrop
College, and Elliott Crayton Mccants, Superintendent of Schools, Anderson, s. c. 'Ihe
fourth is John Lake, an undergraduate of the Class of 1891, for many years a minister
and missionary in China. Rev. Mr. Lake completed three years of the college course
at The Citadel with distinction, leaving at the beginning of his senior year to begin the religious work which has been his life-calling. ~ith the approval of the
Chinese government, he has done a notable work in the organization on the Island of
Tui Kam of a colony for Chinese lepers. He is not only a preacher, but a great adminis
trator and a scholar, who is worthy of any honor which his Alma ~ater may wish to
bestow upon him. 'Ihe faculty recommends that he be awarded the diploma of The Citadel
as of the Class of 1891 and that the degree of Doctor of Laws be conferred upon h:in:.
at this Commencement.
Pro~essor Mccants, besides being a veteran school n~n, is the author of a
numbGr of books in which the background is a portrayal of interesting episodes in
South Carolina history. His latest book, "Ninety-Six", is bot only an informing historical novel dealing with the Revolutionary period, but ia a delightful piece of
1:lmra ture.
�Dr. Harrison and Dr. Kinard are both Doctors of Philosophy of Johns
Hopkins University, and have done much literary work as well as many years teaching of college classes in English. I am sure that the Board will feel th.at these
sons of '!he Citadel are all worthy of the hi6 hest recognition their Alma Mater
can give them.
The above recommendation approved and Col. Padgett further submitted the
names of Capt. Ellison A. Smythe and Hon. Joseph w Barnwell to be included among
.
those upon vlhom is conferred the degree of LL.D. Those gentlemen were notified
by wire of the action of the Board.
Mr. Rivers was requested to prepare a form for these degrees.
Adopted.
CHANGE IN COLLEGE YEAR.
For the past few years, it has been found advisable, due to the time for
holding the R.O.T.C. cam9s, and other cummer activities, to advance the date for our
Commencement, which was ordinarily set for the second week in June, to the first
week.This seerus desirable as a permanent policy, and conforms to the custom of most
of the other coll~ges. 'Ihe curtailment of a week at the end of the session shouid,
however, be balanced by a corresponding advancement of the beginning of the session
by one week, in order that the session may not be diminished below the required
number of weeks work. The approval of the Board is asked for this change. Approved.
The followir€ assistant-professors, desiring to pursue advanced university
courses, ask the Board to give them a year's leave of absence on condition that they
obtain a competent substitute acceptable to the head of the department and the president of the collegei Capt. R; M. Byrd, Department of Chemistry, has a year's leave of absence,
and M S. u. 1&-enn, of State College, Pa., will substitute for him.
r.
Lieut. R. M. Lyon, Department of Education, will have a year's leave of
absence and Mr. R. w. Achurch, University of North Carolina, will substitute for him.
Lieut. J. G. Harrison, and Lieut. J. I. Owen, Department of English will
have a year•s leave of absence a nd Mr. C.A. P. Moore, Statesville, N. c., and Mr.
Paul Sanders, University of Kentucky, will substitute for them.
MILITARY DEPAR'llv
!ENT.
'lhe report of Lieut.-Colonel Vin. c. Miller, Professor of Military Science
and Tactics and Commandant of Cadets, shows that the military department i s in a
very satisfactory condition. The annual inspection by the Ware Department was made
on April 24 and 25, and from informal expressions of the officers it is believes
that the general rating of the Citadel will, as usual, be designated as "excellent."
Among the recoI11.mendations of the Uomm&andant is one that c,1dets be permitted
to smoke in their rooms and in prmvatehomes where they may be guests. 'Ihere is no
question that the regulation against smoking is constantly being broken at the
Citadel, and that probably the boot-legging of cigarettes in barracks affects discipline adversely.
Approved.
'lhe statement of the Commandant is as follouu -"I believe that from all standpoints it will be advantageous to permit cadets to
smoke in their rooms. I do not recommend that cadets be permitted to smoke on the
galleries, in the recreation rooms, or in any place outside of th: ir rooms except
in private residences when invited by their host to do so."
Approved.
He believes that the punishment for smoking outside of barracks or in any
public place should be rather severe, but should not exceed seven demerits and
25 confinements for one offense.
Approved.
�It does not appear that parents generally attempt to enforce the prohibition of smoking by their sons {and daughters) and it is likely that the approval
of the Commandant's recommendation may help discipline. I therefore, submit it to
the Board for their consideration.
I transmit, also, for the Board's consideration some other recommendations
of the Commandant, about which the members of the Board may have definite views 'of
their own, and may perhaps wish to take action.
c. Add to cadet fees the cost of transportation to and from the Citadel-Carolina
game at Orangeburg.
Optional.
At the time of this game there is a great deal of traffic on the roads between here and Orangeburg, ts considerable pa.rt of which is under the control of
drivers who are rendered irresponsible by liquor or fast driving and I belie've it
is unwise to permit cadets to go and return by automobile under conditions vmich
expose them to accident. In the past, cadets have been advised in ample time, that
they will be required to get the affirmative consent fof their parent or guardian
to go by automobile { the permission usually ata tes''through the country"), but mahy
of them wait until the last minute and produce statements which are open to the
suspicion of being spurious and there are usually some cadets who go by automobile
without authority of any kind. These cadets frequently drive too fast in order to
get to Orangeburg early and to get back to the Citadel in time. It is my opinion
that the Citadel cam ill afford to be placed in a position of being in any degree
responsible for any untoward occurrence for the amount of money involved, and I
believe that the parent would be better satisfied with the arra.ngement here proposed.
trhe cost of the trip is $2.00 railroad fare, 14¢ trolley fare, total $2.14.
Another feature worthy of consideration is that of keeping control of the
Corps of Cadets during it~ absence from the Citadel. The seniors have been permitted .
in the past to go to Orangeburg the night before the game and other cadets have
arrived in Orangeburg by automobile beginning about 8-00 o'clock in the morning
and have remained as late as 11-00 P.M., and there have been complaints of an idefinite nature which have reached me alleging that cadets have misbehaved themselves in
Orangeburg. By arranging the trip to Orangeburg so that the cadets wmll arrive on the
field about 11-30 A.M. and form .for departure about 5-00 P.M., arriving and departing in a body, the exposure to such criticism would be lessened.
SPRING FURLOUGH.
d.
A Spring furlough to begin after mornir.ig classes on Wednesday before Good
Friday and to end on tbe following Tuesday night at midnight, will be approved for
these cadets whose parents desire them to go home at this time.
Adopted.
'lhe juniors are allowed to go on furlough and this creates in the mind of
other cadets a feeling that part of the Corps gets a spring vacation while the remainder do not; this causes this remainder to feel the necessity of a spring furlough themselves. It is probable that the same feeling would exist even though the
juniors were not given a furlough, since many of the schools in the state do grant
a spring furlough.
Adopted.
Should a spring furlough be granted I recomnend that it is for a period of
one week and ,. hat it begin after the work is completed on the Wednesday before Easter
and extend until class call on the following ednesday so that there will be academi
instruction b~th immediately before and immediately after such a furlough, which
would tend to discourage extensions being sought at either end of the furlough.
Adopted.
�I believe that this mat~er is of sufficient :importance to justify beginning the school year earlier. Should this for any reason not be practical it might
be possible to make up the time lost from instruction during this furlough by having
four hours of academic instruction on each Saturday morning for four weeks, and the
attendant loss of time in the military departnientcould be made up by an additional
hour of drill on each week day for the same period.
e.
All cadet dances to be on Citadel grounds.
At present the larger hops, of which there are some four or five during the
year, are held at Ashley Park outside the Citadel grounds. At this place control is
much more difficult than at the gymnasium, the civilians feel less restraint there
than they would at the Citadel and in addition cadets go outside the building at
Ashley Park more freely than they do at the gymnasium; the result is that there is a
greater tendency on the part of both civilians and cadets to use intoxicating
luquors at Ashley Park than is the case at The Citadel.
The larger hops occur at times when the bleachers are not required at the
gymnasium, so that the whole floor will be available for dancing. At present, the
blea hers a.re used by cadets for seats at chapel, but if their use can be less ened
th~re will be added a dignity to the chapel exercises which is not now the case due
to the dropping of books from the bleachers to the floor and the general feeling of
lack of dignity on account of sitting on bleacher seats; this statement with regard to
chapel exercises is not intended to introduce a new subject, but to indicate that the
removal of the bleacher seats for the purpose of these larger hope will not interfere
with the chapel exercises. Adopted.
f.
Hops to end not later than 1-00 A.M.
Hops now extend until two . o'clock, after which cadets with ladies are given
an hour , to take their ladies home and return to the Citadel; this brings them back
to the Citadel at or about 3-00 A.M., and results in the cadets being exhausted the
next day due to lack of sleep. In looking after the welfare of the cadets I do not
think it fair to them to authorize a practice which permits such exhaustion. Adopted.
g.
Provide extra pay for the personnel of this department
The personnel of the military departruent is detailed at the Uitadal, for the
performahce of certain duties in connection with the R.0.T.C. training which includes
the training at drills and supervision thereof and theoretical instruct ion in certain
subjects prescribed by the W'ar♦ Depart~ent. Beyond these duties the officers assist
materially in discipline and a system of discipline has been built up with these officers
as the backbone of the system; they devote approximately one half of their time to disciplinary matters and the preparation of memorandums, sometimes at my direction, sometimes ~f their own initiative, requiring the devotion of time at night at their quarters.
As a rule these officers are on duty at the Citadel from eight o'clock in the morning
until approximately 4-00 P.M. every day and I have to require them to take time off
on one week day afternoon for recreation to keep themselves in proper physical condition.
Adopted.
'Ihese officers have rendered and will continue to render loyal and faithful
service in this work, and this is not in any sense intended as a threat that they may
decline to do this work, because such is not the case. I am making this resommendation
because the officers are performing the work and it seems to me appropiiate that their
services should be recognized. 1be amount of the compensation is relatively unimportant.
h.
Authorize appointment of cadet sergeants as well as cadet officers from the
senior class, and corporals from the junior class.
At present it is prescribed by paragraph 39 College Regulations that in general cadet officers will be taken from the senior class, sergeants from the junior
class, and corporals from the sophomore class. Disapproved.
i.
Increase the number of demerits to 200 for all classes.
�Paragraph 5, College ttegulations prescribed the number of demerits allowed all classes as 130 for seniors, 150 for juniors, 170 for sophomores and 200 for
freshmen. Deferred October meeting.
This recommendation is made for the reason that under the present administration of discipline in the military department most of the demerits which cadets
received come from reports entered by tactical officers (officers of the m~litary
department in charge of the companies) and these reports are entered without regard
to academic class. 1he present system was adopted when most of the reports were
entered by cadets. There will naturally be more reports entered against freshmen
during the early part of their attendance at the Citadel, but this is taken care of
by a two-thirds reduction in the number of their demerits after they have been at the
Uitadel for two mont~s.
I believe that the proposed system will be fairer to the cadets and will
result in more efficiency in the turning in of appropriate reports by cadets offic•rs
and non-commissioned office rs when thilre is a greater margin of safety; in the case
of cadets who are incorrigibly careless I believe that the increase in th, nmiber
of demerits authorized will not prevent their exceeding the authorised number and
being reported as deficient in conduct.
It is important that the limit of demerits be placed at a number where it
can be adhered to as a dead line without the cadet being justified in feeling that
he has been made a victim of an unwise and unfair provision.
'!he present division of the Corps of Cadets into two battalions, each consisting of two infantry and two coast artillery companies, makes a balanced and
satisfactory military organization. If either R.O.T.c. unit 3hould preponderate in
numbers, it seems likely than an adverse effect would be produced in the morals of
the smaller unit. It appears that in the R.O. T.c. colleges generally throughout the
country, that there is a considerable excess of infantry units, with the result that
more Infantry Reserve Offivers are being graduated than are needed, and that there
is a corresponding deficit in t he number of Coast Artillery reservt officers needed.
Intimations have been received that it is the desire of the Ware Department, that
more of the Cadets at the Citadel be enrolled in the Coa3t Artillery Unit, the close
proximity of this institution to the coast defenses on Sullivan's Island making it
specially suitable for instruction in this branch of the service. If an unequal
division of the Corps into infantry and artillery companies be proposed, in favor
of the latter, it would likely be desirable to establish a single unit of the R.o.T.c.
and limit it to coast artillery work. This would probably be in accordance with the
policy of the i'iltr Department, which favors a reduction rather than an increase in the
number of different units at any particular institution~ The two units be kept equal.
For this reason, no encouragement has been given to the proposal for the
establishment of a cavalry unit at the Citadel, -- ~ subject that has been taken up
fruitlessly with the War• Departm
ent several times in the past eight yearso

Delinquent .ccounts.
To
The Board of Visitors through The President .
1.
One June 12 , 1928, it was directed by the Board of
Visitors that accounts unpaid at that time be put in the hands
of a collecting agency , after due notice to the parties concerned. This was done. Nothing was collected. It is possible
that a few of these may yet pay, judging from the correspondence on file .
2~
Also it was decided that in the future fees must be
paid in cash, or covered by adequately endorsed notes.
In June 1928, nine seniors were permitted. to give notes
in order to close their accounts • Of the nine , three have
paid in full, two have paid on account , and four have paid
nothing, as follows:Paid ~50 . 00

The recent decision of the Board that herea:fter a senior's
account must be paid in cash before a diploma is granted will
safeguard the college from unnecessarily slow payment of notes,
or actual loss.
3.
Du.rmg the present session, a number of patrons have
secureq. delays and special arrangements in paying the quarterly
fees.
few of these cases have proved to be unsatisfactory.
It seems necessary in a few instances for special arrangements
to be made, as in the case of a sister or mother, who holds a
small salaried position, doing the financing.

6.
No definite report is given at this time on class or club
scholarships now in force, sire e collections are still being made
and it is believed that these accounts are in ~atisfactory shape.
The old class scholarships of 1923 to 1928 inclusive, have
paid nothing during the past year, and it is improbable that a:nything more will be collected.
- 7.
In order to insure the collection of fees in the future
it is requested that the Board of Visitors issue instructions whereby a patron whose account is ten days past due after the time for
a succeeding payment to be made, will be asked to withdraw his son
fran the college until all arrears shall have been settled, providing also that the last scheduled payment, now due April lst,must
e made by !fay 1st.

?o tho Bo8rd cf ViFitors of r:ri:1.e Citadel;.,>
Gen.tlemen:
I ht~ve the honor of submitting herewith an account
cf the affairs of the Military Collage for the seasion now
closi.ng.,
The statistical information about the present session is f;iven in the very- complete report of the Registrar
which is app8nded,
It will be seen from this report that of the total
enrolment of 671. :16 hav0 1.wen dis,charged du.ring the session 1
most of whom, as usual, have been members of the freshman class~
The number cf resig.:rnticns and oth-::-r c::1sualties in the upper
classes have been re m
arkably small .. The senior class of 112
members has suffe1 ed a loss of only one man during the session,
-- a cadet v,ho while on leave got married, and, conseq_ue.ratly,
not being permitted to return to the Citadel, was droppede Of
the 46 casualties, only one was dismissed for misconduct, -a member of the freshman class who exceeded the limit of de.mer•i tso

The present courses in the freshman class are
m8.themfltics (highe:r aiget2:·a and trigo.nometr~r), physics, F:::-ench, .
E:nglish, c1nd hi story,, It is proposed to postpone the course i.n.
physics to tha scphcmnre claEs, and substitute for it a te7iAw
c0urs9 in e:ementary al~ebra a3 tha proper prep&rati on for the
v1ork in physlc s, wh:'..ch is lnrgely a study of applied rr:a ther.1a tics.,
While two years work in high school algebra is
req_uired for ad.mission to our freshman class, it often happen::: \
thnt this 'Nork haa bosn done in the first two yeal's of the h:.gh
school courss 1 and the student goss to college without having
studied any algel1rg for tl:le two preceding years., For any sat i s-factory work in a scienee li.ke physics, a fair proficiency in
th~ use of algebra: gacmetry , and trigonometry is essential&
The faculty also recornmend s that the cu.rriculum of the sophomore class be lightened by pe::·mi tting students to drop either the
cou::'.'se in hi story o:".' the course in mechanical drawing , both of
v,hich are nov1 r0q_u.ired in that year~
_,,,
It is hoped that the adoption of these two ch~nges
will diminish the nn'Tiber of failurvs in the two lower classes,,
AP?ROPRIATIO~ BY LEGISLATUP~.
Last J3.nuary nhen the Citadel budget was submitted to the LegislRture, it contained estimates which called for
an appropriation of $232,954 Q77~ As fin3lly p3ssed, the Bill
,
made an eppropriati.on of $203,092014, showing a cut of 13 per
cent&
While ad.knowledgment must be made that the Legislatur e dealt generonsly with the Citadel as a general rule in
the item of salari0s 1 there were some small cuts in the salaries
of the assistant-professars which I feel sure would not have
been made if the m8mb ers of the Gen.<3rr: d ,.\ssemb ly had been fully
.
aware of the marj_i;3 of th8 cases.
I infer that the principle on which these cuts were
made was that no injustioe woul6 be 6one the assistant-professors
if their salaries we~a not reduced? and that the economic condi ti ens in tha f;tat~e-·ca'T'.'Cod l'c..;-r nii inc:reases not wRrra.nto1 by

2Cth, he will begin his fifth year of service 2t a salary of
$2260 (if tho Boardts scale is to stand)o The salary for this
e:: ssi s tan t f o:c the ca lend8r ;;rear 1.930, therefore, ( the salary
requested of the Legislature),was computed for eight end twothirds months at the first rate, $2130, and for three and onethird months at $2260, which gives tha amount $2166.10.
,
It may be contended that the refusal to provide the.
small incr,.e.i:ise works no i.njusttce to the teach-:.:r, since his sale-•
ry is not decreased, but kept at the same figure that it was fer
th9 year 1929.,. Thj_s :Ls true, but r:ictually, in working out, an
anomalous condition was created. Referring still to item No. 28,
this assistent-professor drew a monthly salary of $177~50 from
September r..::Oth to December 31st, 1929, which was Ruthor1zed e.nd
provided by the Act of 19290 His monthly salary for the present
year is $169967, -- or, $7,,83 3 month Jless. In f[rnt, the March
salary of this teacher had to be reduced to make up for overpayment in January ::ind Februar;y·, so thct he got 2 check for
March of only $154.01.
This case is typical of the assistant-professors.
I cannot believe that tho Legislature will insist
upon this discouraging policy towards the young wen who are
earnestly serving the State es teachers, -- especially es the
total incr<:3:sse in the salnries of all the ossitnnts c1mounted
to only $1524o52a
That these assistants Are striving to fit themselves for more efficient service RS teachers is amply shown
at this time by applications from four of them for a yeer 1 s
leave of absence in ordsr that they m2y pursue advanced Univer~
sity studies along the line cf their special subjects; -- this ,~
of course, without any fin2ncial essistance from the State, but
altogethe1~ Pt their ovm e:xvensoo
Due to the somewhat intricate method of determin- ~
ing the salarisG a~ the assistant-professors illustrated above,
i t might be advisable for the Bo2rd to change the date e ~

funds involvedo
�The athletic activities for the season now closing show an~ income and expenditure o:f over $40,000. The fi,nancial state □ent of rhe Bull Dog, (the college paper), shows receipts of $2200, and of the Sp.hinx, (the college annual), of
$71180 The Class Fund for oooial entertainments amounts to
i3200, and the C2det Canteen does a business of about $12,000
~ year.
The aggregate of these figures s~ows that the Director
of Cadet .Affair8 loo2rn after the expenditure of about ~65, 000
annually for non-collegiate activities of the cadetso
It seems clear to me that the College has the
responsibility of seeing after these activities, and that the
Legislature might well provide the salary for the officer for
that purpose.
The salary of Capt. iiicAlister, the Director of
Cadet Affairs, was paid by the State for the months of January,
Febrtrnry, and I.larch of this year~ It will be necessary to provide the salary for the balence of the year for which he was engaged, -- up to September 20th, -- from f~es collected from pay
cadets. It is imperative, also, in my judgment, that this officer be retained for the next sessiono I woul~, therefore, recommend the re-electicn of Captain McAlister at his present salary /
of $2400 for the next college year, and that his salary be paid
from the proceeds of the matriculation-fee of $5~00 to be charge~
each cadet next y0ar"
The reduction in appropriations requested for
other college purposes is also a mattor of serious concern. It
is not feasible to cut the wages of servants, or the number of
them, twenty-five per cent (as was done) without impairing the
efficiency of the institution. Whether \VB can pay for the necassary amount of coal, water rents, light consumption, and oth-::r
indispensable supplies on the reduced budget is a ~uestion which ·
the Quartermaster must attempt to solve.
✓
A provision in the Appropriation Bill requires
the State colleges to deposit with the S~ate Treasurer the tuition fees collected during t~e current year. ihis provision
states that 11 th.is fund shall be held in trust by th0 State Treasurer to the credit of tha institution and shall be paid out and
expended for permanent improvements or other purposes on the order of the Bo8rd of Trustees su_bject to the approval of the State
Finance Committeeo 11
On April 24t~1, the Quartermaster of the Citadel
paid to the State Treasurer ~~9480, being the tuition fees collect••
ed sd.nce January 1, 1930, and the receipt of' the Treasurer is
in hand. About $800 was later added.
Tho tuition fees collected last year and deposited
in the savings department of the Carolina Savings Bank amounts,
with the interest, to $22,405.64.
It will be seen that the total 4lmount now avai1able for the I.Iain College Building, which is the ne:xt objective
in the building proeram at the Citadel, is about; 4S32, 685.. .As
the estimated oost of this building is about $256,ooo, it is
evident that a l3rger income from tuiti.or: fees mu.st be ob~Jali.D1=id
if our plans are to be l'Galized in the ne:xt i;en yef..n's o E.aisiw;
the tuition charge frcm $40 to $100 a year for oa:ets outside ;f
the State will probably increase the annual inco~e from this
~ource to at least $25,000, and it seems rAascn~ble therefore to
expect that by January~ 1934, the b'J_ilcHng fu:::.a. may reach a tot3l
of $125,000, -- half ,che amount neocsd,. If tho L0gisl.at1.J_:·e ·Nill
permit us at that time to bor~ow 6 ~lko aB0urt, rled c ing the future income from tuition :fcrns,··tt i:] ;:,n;:s:t~J:.ti that t~rn- J\f&i.r1 Col=- lege Building may be const~ucbei enJ 00~up~0( in the Gummer of
1935. Vihile that appea:rs a lons ti,l/; "co wai"ti f..:,!' 2. building which
�is urgently needed in the Dresont year, 1930, it would seem to
be the part of wisdom to make plans even for a remote future
rather than to make none at all, and to trust that good fortune
may expiadi te in some u.ne:xpected way the realization of our hopes
o
T-he census of the Citsd.el taken in .Ap:ril shows that
thirty-three officers ars living at the Old Citadel, who with the
members of their fa~iJies make a total of ninety-five persons occupying the bui lo.inc □ at Uarion Sq.uare o
~her8 are five separate buildings composing the
group which is known as the Old Citadelo The large Cdntral quadrangiilf::r building is the historic "Citad8l:r vJb.ich was first occ11pied just a hunured years agoo It was thc:n only two stories
high, -- the third story being added in 1849 and the fourth not
until 1910,,At ·,;he p·i:·esont time,, the medical w1it of the National
Guard occupies the front room on the ground floor of this building, and officers use other~rooms as garages. The Citadel offi-_
cers have quarters on the second floor, but most of the second
floor and all of the third and fourth floors are unoccupied. The
whole building is serving very little purpose, and is falling
into disrepair. The East Wing is al8o totally c1eserted and in
its present condition uninhabitable, no repairs having been made
for many yearso The three other buildings, however, -- the west
Wing, the King Street Extension, and the :Meeting Street E:xtension,
-- have been kept in good condition end f~rnish accommodations
for the great majority of Citadel officers, -- the present quarters for officers at the new Citadel being limited to five apartments, and therefore entirely inadeg_uato to accommodate n faculty
of more than forty professors .
:c
~he problem of furnishing qu3rters to m~rried officers is already n difficult one, and is becoming more so each
year as the bachelor professors make plans for entering the mntrimonial estate. In the sur,,mer of 1928, we fitted up two 2ddi tional
sets of quarters at tho Old Citadel, 3nd in 1929 two more. Owing
to the reduction in tb.G appropriation for mgintenance , it does
not eppear possible to make cny additions this swnmer, al though
it would be desirable to do so.
The desir~d ultim2to solution of the problem is
of course, the build::..ng of odeq_unte quarter's on the cRmpus of the
new Citadel for All tho officers of the coll~ge. In thd meentimo,
)
however, the necessity for the Boerd to retain control of the
buildings at liarion S\1uere, probably for many years, is very evi-dent, as anv othor disposition of these buildimgs would create 8

�therefore, believe that in presenting to the Boe rd the names of
four fmmr alumni of the Citadel for tho degree of LL.D. they are
recommending the maximum number that should be conferred this
year. Three of these §re members of the Class of 1886 , now the
senior alumni class: fhomas Perrin Harrison, PhoDo, dean of North
Carolina Colleg e of' Agriculture and Engineering, Raleigh, N.C.,
James Pinckney Kinard, Ph. Do, president of Winthrop Collgge, and
Elliot·b Crayton IvlcCants, Superintendent of Schools, And. erso n, S. G.
The fourth is John Lake. an unclergraduate of the Cl~ss of 1891,
for many years a t-:iinist er a~1d missionary in China,, Rev Mr. Lake
completed three years of the colle ge course at The Citadel with
distinction, leaving at the beginning of his senior year to begin the religious work v,hich has been his life-calling,. With the
approval of the Chinese government, he has done a notable WQ,rk
in the organization on the island of Tai Kam of a colony for
Chinese leperso He is not only a preacher, but a greet administrator and a scholar, who is worthy of any honor which his Alma
Mater may wish to bestow upon him. S:he faculty recommends that he
be awarded the diploma of the Citadel as of the Class of 1891
and th~t the degree of Doctor of Laws be conferred upon him at
this Commencemento
o
Professor lv1~ Cants, besides being a veteran school
man, is the antb.or of a number of books in which the background
is a portrayal of interesting episodes in South Carolina history a
His lattrnt book, "Ninety-Sixi:, is not only an informing historical
novel dealing with the Revolutionary period, but is a delightful
piece of literature.
Dr. H8rrison and Dr. Kinard are both Doctors of
Philosophy of Johns Hopkins University, and have done mu.ch literary work as well as many ~rears teaching of college classes in
English. I am sure that the Board will feel that these sons of
the Citadel are all worthy of the highest recognition their Alma
1.~ater can give them.
CHAIJGE IN COLLEGE YEAR.
For the p8st few years, it has been found advisable, du.e to the time for holding the R.O.T.C. camps, and other
summer activities, to advance the date for our Commencement, which
was ordinarily set for the second week in June, to the fir st weeko
This seems desirable as a permanent policy, and conforms to the
custom of most Olf thd other colleges. The curtailment of a week
at the end of the session should, howevar, be balanced by a corr0sponding advancement of the beginning of the session by one week,
in order that ~the session may not be diminished below the req_uired number of weeks worko The approval of the Board is asked for
this change.
The following ussj_stant-professors, desiring to
pursue advancec1 university courses, as.le the Board to give them
a year's leave of absence on condition that they obtt..in a compu·tent substitute acc9ptable to the head of the aepartmont and. the

i,IILI1:.ARY
DEPARTl'li:ENT.
The report of Lieuto-Golonel Wm,, C. Hiller, Pro-:-··
fessor of l\UlitarJ,r Science and Tactics ond Commandant of Cadets,
shows that the military department is in a very satisfactory
condition. The annual inspection by the war Department was made
on April 24 and 25, and from informal expressions of the officers
it is believed that the general rating of The Citadel will, as
usual, be designated as "excellent.n
I
.Among the recommendations of the Commandant is
one that cadets be permitted to smoke in their rooms and in
private homes where they may be guestso There is no question
that the regul~tion against smoking is constantly beiag broken
at the Citadel, and that probably the boot-legging of cigarettes
in barracks affects discipline adversely.
The statement of the Commandant is as follows: -nr believe that from all standpoints it will be advantageous to
permit cadets to smoke in their
recommend that
1 cadets be permitted to smoke on rooms~ I do not in the recreathe galleries,
tion rooms, or in any P,lace outside of their rooms except in
private residences when invited by their host to do so."
J(
He believes that the punishment for smoking outside of barracks or in any public place should be rather severe,
but should not exceed seven demerits and 25 confineme nts for
~
one offense.
~t does not appear that parents generally attempt
to enforce the prohibition of smoking by their sons ( and daughters) and it is likel;y- that the approval of the Commandant's
· reco~endation may help discipline. I therefore su.bmit it to
the Board for thair consideration.
I transmit, also, fo~ the Board's consideration
some other recommendations of the Co:nmandant, about which the
m8mbars of the Board may h3ve d efini~e views of their own~ 2nd
may perhaps wish to take action.
�Par. 5.
c.
Add to cadot fees the cost of transportation to aht
from the Citadel-Carolina game at Orangeburg.
At the time of this game there is a gr eat deal of
traffic on the roads between here and Orangeburg, a considerable
part of which is under the control of drivers who are rendered
irresponsible by liquor or fast driving and I believe it is unwise
to permit cadets to go and return by automobile under conditions
which expose them to accident. In the past cadets have been advised, in ample time, that they will be required to get t.pe affirmative consent of their parent or guardian to go by eutomobile
( the permission usually states ;,through the country"), but many of
them wait until the last minute and produce statements which &re
. open to the suspicion of being spurious and there are usually some
cadets YJho go by automobile without au thd)ri ty of any kind. These
cadets frequently drive too fast in order to get to Orangeburg
-early and to get back to tho Citadel in time. It is my opinion
that the Citadel can ill afford to be placed in a position of being
in any degree responsible for any untoward occurrence for the
amount of money involved, and I believe that the parent would be
better satisfied with the arrangement hero proposed, The cost of
the trip is 02,00 railroad fare, 14¢ trolley fare, total C2.14.
J-'JJ.other feature Yrorthy of consideration is that of
keeping control of the Corps of Cadets durinc its absence from the
Citadel. The seniors hnve bean permitted in the past to go to
Orangeburg the night before the 30.me and other cadets have arrived
in Orangeburg by automobile beginning about 8:00 o'clock in the
morning and ho.ve remained as late as 11:00 P.E., and there have
been complaints of o.n indefinite nature which have reached me alleging that cadets have misbehaved themselves in Orangeburg. By
arranging the trip to Orangeburg so that the cadets will arrive on
the field about 11:30 ;'_.n~ and form for departure about 5:00 P.:M.,
arriving and departing in a body, the exposurG to such criticism
would be lessened.
d.
Grant a spring furlough of one week.
The juniors are allowed to go on furlough and this
creates in the mind of other cadets a feeling that part of the corps
gets a spring vacation while the remainder do not; this causes this
remainder to feel the necessity of a spring furlough themselves. It
is probable that the sar:10 feeling would exist even though the
juniors were not gj_vcn a furlough, since many of the schools in the
state do grant a spring furlough.
During February, March and April there vrnre 239
cadets who wont on furlough for reasons which appeared to be satisfactory; most of those reasons were backed up by letters or telegrams from parents or guardians. It v:ras impracticable to inves-·
tigate all these requests from parents or guardians, but 2 number
were so investigated and a considerable number were found to be for
causes which were deemed insufficient for granting a leave of absence although the original statement from the parent or guardian
would create the impression that there existed an emergency for
which a leave should properly have been granted. I believe that
probably in tho majority of cases the parents are interested in
having their sons come home during the spring. There is always
manifested every spring a spirit of unrest \Vhich is very appm~ent
in the military department and is probably apparent in the academic
department. I believe that there is no doubt that the Quality of
the work in the academic department as well as the military department will be materially improved.
�3houlJ a spring furlough be granted I recommend
that it be for o period of one week and that it begin after the
work is completed on the 1?ednesday before Easter and extend until
class co.11 on the follov1ing Wednesday so that there will be
academic instruction both immediately before ahd immedio.tely
nfter such a fur lo ugh, nhi ch would tend to cliscournge extensions
being sought at either end of the furlough.
I believe that this matter is of suf f icient importo.nce to justify beginning the school yenr earlier. Should this
for any reason not be practical it misht be possible to make up
the time lost from instruction durinf_; this furlough by having four
hours of academic instruction on each Saturday morning for four
weeks, and the attendant loss of time in the military department
could be made up by an additional hour of drill on each week day
for the same period.

e.
All cadet dances to be on Cit adel grounds.
~t present the larger hops, of which there ure some
four or five during the year, are hold at Ashley Park outside the
Citadel grounds • ..:i.t this place control is much more difficult thGn
at the gymnasium, the civilians feel less restrnint there than they
would at the Citadel and in addition cadets go outside the building
at Ashley Park more freely than they do at the gymnasium; the result
is that there is a greater tendency on the part of both civilians
and cadets to use intoxicating liquors at Ashley Park than is the
cnse at the Citadel.
The larger hops occur at times v,hen the bleachers
are not required at the gymnasium, so tho. t the vrhole floor will be
available for doncing. At present the bleachers aro used by cadets
for seats at chcpel, but if the:rr use cnn be lessened there will be
added a dignity to tho chapel exercises wh ich is not now the case
due to tho droppinc of books from the bleachers to the floor and the
general feeling of lack of dignity on account of sitting on bleacher
scats; this sto.temont rri th reg&rd to chapel exercises is not j_ntended to introduce a new subject, but to indicate that the removal of
the bleacher scats for the pu1~pose of these lnre;er ho ps will not
interfere with the chapel exercises.
f.
Hops to end not later than 1:00 A.H.
Hops now extend until two o'clock, after TThich
cadets uith ladies are given an hour to take their ladies home and
return to the Citadel; this brings them back to the Citadel at or
nbout 3:00 A.E. and results in the cadets being exho.usted the next
day due to lack of sleep. In looking after the welfare of the
co.dots I do not think it fair to them to authorize & p1,:,actice which
permits such exhnustion.
Such dissipation on these occasions naturally leads
to other dissipations at the same time and encourages dissipation
at other times.
At the Mili tm~y .Academy dances do not extend beyond
midnight. Tam sure that the hops of the Citadel cadets will be o.s
enjoyable if they begin earlier and end earlier, nnd there will be
eliminated to some extent the objectionable feature above referred
to.
With hops ending nt one o'clock the dooce leave to
take young ladies home uoulcJ. extend until 2: 00 A.1'I.

department.
Provide extra pay for the personnel of this
The ,ersonnel of the military department is detailed
at the Citadel for the 1)erforrnance of certain duties in connection
with the R.O.T.C. training which includes the training at drills
and supervision thereof snd the~retical instruction in certain subjects prescribed by the Wor Department. Beyond these duties the
officers assist materially in discipline and a system of discipline
has been built up with those officers as the backbone of the system;
they devote approximately one half of their time to disciplin&ry
mutters and the preparntion of memorandums, sumetimes a.t my direction, sometimes of their own initiative, requiring the devotion of
time at nir;h t at their quarters. As a rule these officers are on
duty at the Citadel from oiGht o'clock in the morning until approximately 4: 00 P . ~I. evoi~y day and I have to require them to take
time off on one week day afternoon for recreetion to keep themselves
in proper physical condition.
These of:~ice1 s have rendered and will continue to
render loyal and faithful service in this work, and this is not in
any sense intended as a threat that they may decline to do this
work, because such is not the casa I am making this recommendation
because the officers are pc:rforming the v,ork and it seems to me appropriate that their services should be recognized. The runount of
the compensation is relatively unimportnnt.
h.
Authorize appointment of cadet sergeants as vrnll us
cadet officers from the senior class, and corporals from the junior
<i.rlo.ss.
At present it is prescribed by paragraph 39 College
Regulations that in general co.det officers will be taken from the
senior class, serceo.nts from the junior class, ancl corporals from
tho sophomore class.
Tho adv □n tages of the proposed recommendations are
believed to be as follous:
The members of' the senior class YJill be given a
responsibility in the military control of the Corps
uill tend to develop in them a response to responthorn bettor for their duties as members of the
Corps.
( 1)
greater share of
of Cadets, which
sibility and fit
Officers Reserve
(2)
Improve discipline by eliminating the present
system of having members of lower classes senior in military rank
to a largo percentage of tho senior class and requi.red to enforce
discipline ni th rer,;ar<l to these privates of the senior class,
while at tho SDmG time these members of the lower classes nt times
find th ems elves suborclino. te to these so.me privates or the senior
class when the lat tor □re detailed as company command.er s or officers
of the guard ; such a shifting of relative rank naturally inpairs
discipline.
The disudvantages of the proposed system are believed
to be:
(1)
Juniors advancing to the senior class would in
some cases move from the grade of corporal to tho grade of major
and captain. I believe this is not an especially important objection.
�(8) 'I'he quality of th0 higher non- commissioned
officers would not be of such a high character coming from the
mi ddlc of the senior class as ·r1ould be Mio case if taken from the
most efficient men of the junior class~ I believe that this would
be overcome by the incrensed prestige of the sergeants being
seniors , and from my observation this year after having used them
as instructors I believe that the seniors of the midcilo class will
develop proportionntely to their responsibilities •
. t
(3) Tiosult in complete chem.go in t;1e comnmnd of
staff groups each year without juniors ha.vine been in the grade of
sergeant and understudying these groups . It is my belief that this
objection is more apparent than real .
( 4) In case it should become desirable to return to
the proscmt scheme there mir:~ht be an unfavorable reaction in the
new seni or class due to their feeling that they had been '. imartyred 11
by having ;;rights" takon from them . Should this become .necessary
it would be cared for by the military system of the school .
It is my opini on that tho advantages of the proposed
scheme decidedly outnei gh the dis advantages . I do not recommend ,
however , that tho change be directed now but that the President and
Commandant be authorized to make the chane;e if in their judgment it
appears Hise . I expc1ct to go to West Point next month and I -rmuld
like to confer with the officers of the tactical department at that
institution to doternine their observation in the success of this
proposed scheme that is now in use there .
i.
Increase the number of dor.'1.ori ts to
;200
for all
clo..sses .
Paragraph 5 , College Regulations proscribes the number of demerits allowed all classes as 130 for seniors , 150 for
juniors , 170 for sophomores , and 200 for freshmen .
This rcconr:10ndation is mado for the reason that under
the present administrat1on of discipline in the military department
most of tho demerits nhich cadets receive come from reports entered
by tactical officers (officers of the military department in charge
of the companies) and those r(:=;ports nru entered without regard to
academic class . 1he present system was adopted when most of the re ports were entered by cndots . There will naturally be nore reports
entered against freshmen during the eGrly part of their attendance
at the Citadel , but this is taken care of by a two - thirds reduction
in the number of their deriieri ts after they have been at the Citadel
for two months .
I bol1ove t.\rnt the proposed system will be fnircr to
the cadets and will result in more efficiency in tho turning in of
appropriate rcpor ts by cad,Jt offi cors nnd non- commissioned officers
when tllore is a greo.tor margin of safety ; in the cnse of cadets who
are incorrigibly careless I believe that the increase in the number
of demerits authorized will not prevent their exceeding the
authorized number nnd being reported as deficient in conduct.
It is important that the limit of demerits be placed
at a number w'.1ere it co.n bo adhered to GS a dead line without the
cadet being justified in feeling that ho has bean made a victim of
an unwise and unfair provision.

'Infantry Reserve Office ~c s are being graduated than are needed,
1
\l(N
and that there is a oor:r.a s;_J1.)llding deficit in the number of Coast
Artillery reserve officers Deeded. Intimations have been received that it is the desire of the War Department that more of the
cadets at the Citadel be enrolled in the Coast Artillery Unit,
the close proximity of this institution to the coast defenses on
SullilV'an' s Island t1a.king it specially suitable for instruction
in this branch of the servicoe If an une~ual division of the Corps
into infantry and artillery companies be proposed, in favor of the
latter, it would likely be desirable to establish a single unit
of the R.O. T.a., and limit it to coast artillery work. This would
probably be in accord with the policy of the War Department,which
favors a reduction rather than an increase in the number of different units at 8ny particular institution.
For this reason, no encouragement has boen given
to the proposal for th~ establishment of a cavalry unit at the
Citadel, -- a subject that hHs been taken up fruitlessly with the
~r Department several times in the past eight years.
.
Similarly, the Department does not consider favorably the establishment off a unit of the Air Corps at tho Citadel.
Gen. Fechet , Chief of that service, aays that
"consideration is being given now to the advisability of discon. -tinuing Air Corps R. O. T. C. uni ts 1' , and stat es further that 11 the
establishment of military flying training nnits at civilian institutions of learning is not considered f ea sible or practical at
present. 11
The Government, however, is anxious for graduates
from institutions li.ko the Citadel to attend the Air Corps flying
schools, whore they are trained not only in the art oi' practical
flying, but are taught allied nground subjects 1r, such as the consfruction of air-plane motors, aerodynamics, aerial navigation,
meteorology, e to.
·
Gon. Foch.et says: "The establishmont of Air Corps
R.O.T.C. units at institutions of learning is considered unnecessary duplication 2 s long as the Air Corps already hes an overage
of non-flyers in the reserve. I should, howevor, like to have
your graduates enlist as flying cadets in tho Air Corps to bo
commissioned in the .Air Corps Reserve upon completion of the flying cadet course.n
It is taken for granted that even if tho Citadel
should confine its R.O.T.C. wor.k to that of a Coast .Artiller u.ni·c
this need not, and should not 1 interfere with the necessary infantry instruction to preserve the present organization of the
corps as two battalions of infantry for purposes of ceremoniese
Du.ring the past session, we have received a numb ,_..

of distinguished offiaers with special reviews, and the Friday
afternoon dress parades have always been largely attended by tit"
interested citizens and visitors to the City.
�HEALTH
The report of the Surgeon, Lieuto Col. R.S.
Cathcart, M.D., states that the general haalt~ of the Corps_
during the past session has been excellent. fie states 11 tha"'G
there has baen less illness and fewer serious cases then in any
previous year." With the exception of five cases of appendicitis:
there hakbeon no serious surgical op~rations, and contagious
diseases, under the effective system of isolation carried out in
the cadet hospital, hav0 been confined to four cases of mumps
and two of Vincent's angina e
The excellent facilities of the Mary Bennett
Mua rray Hospital, and the eompetont servici:JS of the Surgeon and
nurses, are sources of the greatest satisfaction in the assurance which we can give to parents that at the Citadel the physical welfare of their sons is amply looked after, and that we
believe that they are safer with us than they 1nould be at their
own homes.

Tho report of the Cadet Y. M. G. A. Secretary is appended showing tho scope of that work in the Corps of Cadets.
It is also gratifying to note that other cadet
activities have done oorth-while work during the past session.
Several members of the Round Table, in particulP.r, are worthy of
mention. Cadet Cooksey, president of this literary organization,
was also presideBt of the South Carolina Intercollegiate oratorical Asso~iation this year . In the State oratotical contest held
at Rock Hill a fow weeks ago, the Citadel representative, Cader
H.E. Hamilton, took second place, spe11king on the subject nThe
Blac.lt Legand." The Citadel had two debating teams which engaged
in contests with Wofford , Presbyterian, -p11rman, and the College
of Chnrleston. Among the subjects of JjUblio interest studied and
debated have be0n su~h topics as The New tlumanism, TuIBss Education,
Prohibition, Disarmament, ~md the Negro Question.
Cadet Stalvey, the membtr of the senior class to
make an address at the Commencement exercises tomorrow, is also
one of the best of the Cadet speakers.
QUARTERk;:.ASTER 'S
REPORT
The annual report of the ~uartermaster will be
made out for the fiscal year ending .Tune 30th and wi 11 be submitted to the Board at its budget meeting in October with such other
information as the Boerd may re~uire.
Recently the ~uartermaster has taken ~ut a guaranty policy to cover the bank deposit of the Citadel's ope.n account.
This policy provides for the protection of a deposit of not more
than $20 , 000 from September to February, m1d of only $5000 for
the other six months, -- these figures being sufficient in Major
Tiller's judgment to cover any likel;y loss. This policy, however~
does not protect the tuition fees of last vonr in.the savings
department, amounting to $22,405 .64. rt may be that the Board
will consider the advisability of investing this money in securities that bear interest in excess of that sllowed by the bank,-4%.

Mr. J.E. Smith, Secretary
Union Station,
City.
Dear Mr. Smith:
I am in receipt of yours enclosin~opy of Minutes
of the Board meeting of October 10th, and these appear to be in
order.
In the paragraph in rereremce to Cadet Collins,
the final action on motion of Mr. Still was that if Cadet Collins
applies for admission to the Citadel for the Session of 1931-1932,
it will be considered • .
V
As Cadet Collins was one of six cadets who were in
the same predicament, I think it might be well to make a memorandum
to be brought to the attention of the next Board meeting that these
other Cadets should have the same consideration. They are as follows
W.L.Walker
Sophomore
W.M.Gambrell
Freshman
L.R.McD 0 nald
"
G.M.Booth
"
E.A.Clinkscales Sophomore.
! would be glad if you would hold this as a memorandum
and bring 1 t up at the next meeting of the Board when you read the
Minutes.
Yours truly,

To the Board of Visitors of The Citadel.
Gentlemen:
The new session opened on Sep~0mter thirteenth
with en enrolment of 622 cadets, distributjd 3mocg the several
classes as follows:
Seniors,
Juniors.
Sophomores,
Freshmen,
130
123
J.55
214
The senior class is much the largest in the
hi story of the institution, the greatest number he:-:'etofore be-
ing 111.
rhere have been considerable lossJs in the other
classes, however, due principally to the wide-sp~~ed business
depression, vl!.1ich has affected the attendance a·c most of the
institutions of learning in the country~
A year ago, the Board authorized the ~aising of
the tuition fees of Cadets from other Statas f~om $40 to $100
a year, in ordar to increase the funds available for the construction of the new college building~ This increase in the tuition fe~s went into effeYc at the begj nninB of this session, and
the Board will b0 intereatad to know ~hat is tho expectation
regarding funds from this sourcee
The numb~r of cadets from other States in our present corps of 621 cad<cits is 171, and tuition is paid in four instalments of $25 each on S&ptember 13, December 1, Fobruary 1,
and April 1st. The first instalment now in tho hands of the
Quartermaster amounts to about $4000. Allowing for the usual
casualties which occur, the total income for tuition from outof-State cadets will probably be about $16s000u To this will
be added the fees received from South Carolina cadets. Besides
the 78 Beneficiary Cadets, who pay no tuition, we have 370 Pay
Cadets. Of th8se, 124 have been awarded free tuition by the
State Board of Public Welfare, lebving about 245 who will pay
the tuition fe8 of $40 a year. The incom~ from this source, allowing for casualties, 1r,ill not likely fan below ~~9000, making
a total of about $25,000 for the sossiono
The available funds for the new College Building
and Library may therefore be summarized as follows:
Funds in Carolina Savings Bank,
Funds in State Treasury,

Dear Sirl
Concerning the Scholarship, I offered the Citadel and which
t:e have heretofore discussed, I wish to say that my financial status is
such that I am unable to carry it on. The failure of crops and markets
hr:..s placed me v,here I have little to go on, and having had so me.ny reverses, I ask that you please have the authorities there to relieve me
if possible.
I e.m great admirer of the Citadel, and trust that I can in
son:e other way do v•hat I can for the Citadel, but under present conditions
I have a pretty hard t:ime to get along with rr.y own personal affairs.
Please let me hear from you so I can feel some relief from
my obligation which I cannot meet.

To the Board of Visitors:
One of the scholarshipsfrom Aiken County having been
vacated by the holcier,Cadet Lillard,who left the Citadel without authoriw
but with the knowledge and consent, ap1Jarently, of his mother, I recommend
that the proceeds of this scholarship be given to Cadet C.l.I . J?adgett,of

a member of the Junior class,and made application at the begim1ing of the

To the Chairman of the Board of Visitors:
I am transmitting herewith the record in the case of
Cadets Iorter,Vandiver and lJettles,who were absent from The Citadel without authority for a period of 2I hours on Sunday,January 2oth,I929 .
Cadets very well understand that leaves on Saturday afternoon and evening are confined to the City of Charleston or its vicinity ,
and the cadets above named were fully aware that their journey of over
four hundred miles w-as entirely without ~uthority. They"took chances" to
get back into barracks without being reported,and resented the action of
the Cadet officer who,in the discharge of his duty,entered the report
against them,thereby subjecting themselves to dismissal for another firs~
-class offense.
The discipline of the Citadel,it seems to me,would be
seriously impaired if these offenses were palliated,and I concur in the
recommendation of the Commandant that the Cadets be dismissed.

MELTORAUDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT:
I wish to report to you the details of an investigation
concerning the cases of Cadets Nettles, Porter and Vandiver, T.C.,
who have been reported n21 hours and 55 minutes late returning
from general leaven on Jan~ary 20> 1929.
I submit herewith their explanations which show that
these cadets left the Citadel Saturday and went to Camden and Rock
Hill ..
From my investigation it transpires that these r-adets
were not reported absent at taps due to the inefficiency of the
sentinel on post at this time~ They were checked as absent from
reveille, breakfast and chapel and Cadet Nettles was checked absent from retreat formation - Cadets Porter and Vandiver, T.C.
were not reported absent retreat sinr-e they were seniors and not
re~uired to attend that formation. These cad~ts returned to The
Citadel about 9:45 Sunday night. They threatened the cadet officer
who had discovered and reported their absence and info1·med hitr,
·
that he would have to ~ight one of their number and that Cadet
Porter had, by matching among the three~ been selected to fight thi E
cadet officer. Later on aftur this throat, also made the s u bject
of the investigEttion but before it was reported to m Cadc;t Port8r
o,
with the other two mffiNBX cadets visited tho cadet officer and
told him he )Porter) would not fight him because he knew what woul d
happen ~f he did fight him ovor making the report. Those threo cadets were by another cadet notified by telegraph in Rock Hill that
their absence hEd been fo ~
md out and th8y wure by this tul0gram a dvisdo to hurry back.
It is m opinion that those cadets loft tho Citadel
y
with tho intont.ion of being a bsont witho ut loavo beyond tho perio d
of general lcave v T~is tho cadets deny~ but th0ir credibility is
roduced by the fact that their statomunts v 2. ry ovor some details
concerning which th8ro could have boon no failure of m
emoryo I ro-·
fur to tho statom0nt of tho two of those that they rotl:-- rnud diroct L,1

PRESIDENT'S REPORT.
Th-e President read his very interestin~ report and he was requested in
ture to send advance copies of his report to the members )f the Board.
✓
His recommendEitions and suggestions as well as those of the Comr;1andant
and Faculty were read and acted on as follows :
Of the one hundred and eleven
three have completed the full course
few exceptions still have one or two
to received the diploma as soon as t·
members of the senior class, all but
for either the BA or BS degree . The
courses to make up, and are recommended
is necessary work is done.
In this connection, the faculty endorses favor~bly the request from the
Class of 1919 that the degree of BS be awarded to Oscar Newton ~aylor, ot
Oak Park, Illinois , who left the Citadel near the end of his jun_;l.or year to
go into the Army, and who afterwards completed his course at Northwestern
University. ADOPl'ED .
The suggestion of conferring honorary degrees has been made by one
or more members of the Board . It is customary a t the Commencement exercises of many colleges to award a few honorary degrees to persons who ha, e
attained to distinction in the literary or scientific world, or have rendered conspicuous public service.
J
This is a practice which the Board may consider worthy of adoption
in regard to the Citadel. The Act of 1925 limits the degrees to graduates;
living today, two of the oldest graduates , that fast diminishing band of
ante-bellUfii alumni., whose long lives of usefulness and public service could
fitly be reoognized by this honor; and the faculty of The Citadel recommends
to the Board that it confer the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws upon Mr
R O Sams, Class 1861, "Oldest Living Graduate" at this time, and Mr Orlando
Sheppard, Class 1865, former chairman of the Board of Visitors.

�Academic veparmen~
I would recommend the pror.1otion of Captain Hair and Captain .Anderson
as additional full professors in their respective departments, with the
rank of Major. Captain Hair has been teaching in the mathematics department
for the past twenty years. He is now Associate-professor at a salary of
$2500 which is supplemented by a salary of 0500 as Adjutant. Captain Anderson was elected ten years ago, and is now the Associate-professor of civil
engineering at a salary of $,2500 a year. I would recommend that in the budget
for 1930 a request be made to have it raised to $3000, which is the normal
salary of a full professor. I would also reconnnend that Captain Prouty, Re~
istrar, and Captain Phillips, head of the department of Business Administration, both of whose salaries were approved at $3000 by the Legislature, be
promoted to the rank of Major. I would also recarr~.end the designation of
Captain Myers as Associate-professor.
I have a letter to the Board from Captain J K Coleman, Associateprofessor of History, who requests a year's leave of absence in order that
he may pursue studies in residence at Columbia University for the degree of
Doctor of ' Philosophy. In conjunction with the head of the department, he
submits the name of N.a- Jam.es W Patton, a graduate student at the University
of North Carolina, as a competent teacher to supply for him. It is commendable in our younger professors to continue their advanced studies, and I fully
endorse Captain Coleman's request. AroPI'ED.
In the report of the Commandant of Cadets, he comments favorably on
the method tried out this year of keeping the recruits in separate barracks,
as minimizing hazing and producing a sense of cohesion in the freshman class.
He makes the foll owing recommendations for next session:
That the gray uniform overcoat be re quired of all cadets next session.
He estimated that about forty percent are now provided with the gray, and the
old OD overcoets still on hand are worn only about the campus • .ADOPI'ED.
That a special fee be charged cadets to cover any general movement
of the Corps of Cadets, such as the trlp to Orangeburg to the CitadelCarolina football game. Not approved.
That a complete tailor-shop be established at the Citadel for the manufacture of our own uniforms. Deferred for further investigation.
The Commandant thinks that the mere drinking of intoxicants should
continue to be an offense, although not necessarily one to be visited with
dismissal, Sfid reconnnends that the original paragraph be re stored and the
substitute be retained as an adf itional r egulation. ADOPI'ED.
Up to the present time, no remuneration has ever been given to cadets
who give their ser-vices in the Band. The Commandant recommends that a stipend
of C25 a year be given to cadets after two years s ervice as a ere di t tm acc ou:r;i.t J: concur in this r ecomm.endation. ADOPI'ED.
The Commandant renews his reconnnends.tion that cadets be permitted to
smoke in quarters and in private houses, but that smol:ing in public places be
prohibite.d and punished. I transmit this without prejudice. Not adopted,
1/t
�but smoking in quarters ~d private houses is made a minor offense with a
penalty of l demerit, anu smoking in public a more serious offense with 10
demerits.
He also recoumends that the restriction on card-playing during release
from quarters be reomved, but that it should remain a minor offense during
call to cuarters, and that gambljng remain a more seruious offense at all
/ times. 1Tot ao.ted on.
~
The Commandant b"lieves that the time when cadets may obtain classrings is of sufficient importance to merit adrninistrati¥e control, and reconnnends that c~dets should not be p0rm.itted to wear cla ~-rings before the
beginning of the second semester of the senior ye~x. ADOPI'ED.
It seems to be desirable to make a change in the Regulation prescribirg
....
the terms to be used in granting discharges. The term "honorsbly discharged"
is at present used only when a cadet is "clear in scholarship and discipline,
and not in arrears." The omission of the qualifications as to scholarship
would conform to the general college practice where the accepted meaning refers to conduct only. This will avoid a good deal of explanation and correspondence. The registrar's certificate as to a cadet's scholastic credit gives
in detail the information in that particular, ~a I would reconnnend that
paragraph 27 be changed by omitting the requirement of scholarship for an
honorable discharge. ADOPI'ED.
The Director of Cadet Affairs reconnnends that a fee of $3 for each
quarter ee charged to each ce.det for student activities and that the first
instalment be the YMCA fee which is now required, and that the other instalments go to the Bull Dog and the Sphinx as collected. The amount is not
large,and will prove burdensome to very few, if any, so I recommend its
approval. It i s also re corr..r: ended t~rt a co1:: of the "'1ull Dog be eent to
each member of the Board, ADOPI'ED.
Capte.in Mcilister recor.-rmends the abolition of the holiday
has always been given heretofore for a cadet picnia. The picnic
some other institutions of former days, has lost its distinctive
and no longer deserves a place on our calendar. I concur in his
dation. ADOPTED.
The housing of the faculty is a considerable problem,
time we are in need of half a dozen sets of quarters. Space
floor of the King Street Extension and on the first floor of
Street Extension of the Old Citadel is avail~ble for fitting
and the approval of the Board is requested for expending out

Gontlemon:
I hav9 the honor to submit herewith an account of the
affairs of the Military College for the session now drnwing to a
close.
The vory complete report of the Rogistr2r which is appended gives in detail a great deal of statistic~l informetion
which tho Board will be intorosted in looking over, and I take this
opportunity to say that the work of this important office is conducted by-. Captain Prouty in a very thorough and satisfactory way.
After meny years of effort, it is gratifying to find
that tho scholastic work of The Citadel is receiving the recognition and credit of a standard college • .An instance may be cited in
a communication recently rocoivod from the registrar of the University of Chicago, stating that the bachelorfs degree from the Citadel will admit the holdors to the graduate courses of that University for the doctor's degree. Gradually, also, the records which
our graduates are making after leaving Tho Citadel oro receiving
the favorable attention of the universities and also of th~ Govornment services and of business corporations. The Board will be interested to know that many of tho present gradu~ting olass have
been accepted for positions as soon as they havo completed their
courses hore. A part:ml list of these is given with this report.
-Of the ono hundred and olmvon mombors. of the senior clas~
all but three have oompletod tho full courso for either the B.A.
or B.S. degree. Tho few exceptionS still have one or two .courses
to make up, and are recommonded to rooE1iV'e the diploma ae'i soon as
this necossary work is done.
In this connootion, the faculty ondorsos favorably tho ~
request from tho Class of 1919 that tho dagreo of B.$, be awarded
to Oscar Newton Taylo:b, of · oak Park, Ill• who l,oft tho Citadel near
the end of his junior yenr to go into the Army, and who afterwards
completed his course at Northwestern University,
The history ~f the granting of degrees by 1he OitaQel
can be summarized by the following references:
Previous to the year 1900·, only the diploma was awa)'.'ded
to f;!'adu.ates~ and no degree was · confer~ed by the Board of Visito±'s.
Inf that year, on the 17th of February, _an Aot was approved which
gavo the Board power to confer the degree of Bachelor .of Science.
At first, this degree was restricted to those honor graduates who
y
�2ttai~ed the high generrtl avorago i~ studies of 85 por cont. Conaoquontly; it was recoivB1 by a sm2ll percentage of tho gradu2ting
class. Fivo out of nineteen members of the Class of 1900, and only
thre0 out of fiftoe.n the next year, received the dogreo. Manifestly,
this arbi trary-.: lir.1i t3tion was unwise, and in 1904, tho Boe.rd passed
a resolution confnrri:'lg the degree of Bachelor of Science on all
the graduates of tho A0adenzy» making it retroactive to cover all
tho classes back_,..:t~86"
February 14, 1911, an Act was approved furthor:-o~tend.:..ng the power of the Bo2rd to grant the degree of Civil Engineer.
:~ollowing the recommendation of the American SociP.ty for the P~ornotion. of Engineering Ed.uo2)i6h~ ·: ~:'.l.i s ~ s ~t p.ost.;.gr@c.ua t ,e e.oiiree :!J-..~ing
awarded to graduates in civil eng1neor1ng who have done at leas~
three years of re spons:i.. ble ongino.ering \: 0rk Emd who prosoht a thesis
on some phase of their profession deemed worthy by tho onginoering
, faculty of The Citedel,. This limits tho dogro0 to thoso gradlll.ates
of special attainments, and tho Citadel C~E. dogroo is conse~uehtly
highly ostoemod by thoso , who havo received it, even by thoso who
hed already obtained membership in tho American Society of Enginoorso
I wish to ~uote hete for the information of tho Board
the following extracts from tho head of tho dopaTtmont of onginoering. Major LoTellior says: "During the past yoar, formnl recognition
of the ehginoering course at Tho Citadel has come from two important agencios, viz: tho National Council of State Boards of Engineering Examiners and the United States Civil Service Commission.
"Severnl .yoars a@o, the former appointcd · a committee to
preapre a list of Trecognizod' engineering schools, the graduates
of which would bo entitled to certain recognition when appearing
before examining boards. Tho Citadel is on this list.
"In numerous announcements of examinations by tho Civil
Service Commission it is specified that applicants must be graduates
o-f 'recognized' schools of onginouring, and The Cj_tadol is so
cl6ssod by it. At least two members of the senior cl3ss have been
placed on tho list of oligiblos for appointment in the u.s. Coast
Survey, which is one of tho four commissioned services of the Government, the officers being on a parity as to rank and pay with Army
tmd Navy officers.
nm this conne!Ition, it is interesting to note the re-
).
cent record of the two most recent recipients of tho Civil Engiuoor degree from The Cit~dol, Oliver H. Kollock, Class of 1922,
and Ambrose G. Hnmpton, Class of 1921.
"Rec~ntly, tho Flinkkote Compgny, a large corporation
in ror.~d work, decided to solect throe or four highway engineers to
spend t~roe months in Europe studying highway prcctico abroad.From
the large nwnbor of highway engineers who would naturEilly seek such
fl desirable appointment, Kollock was among the smell group appointod, and he is now in ET!ll'opo.
"In the caso of Hnmpton, tho thesis which ho submitted
, '.
�for his degreo was ' acceptod for publication by tho Engineering
:ffews-Rocord, tho loading .American journal in tho c·i vil engineering
and contracting field, 8nd was commentod on editorially os follows: - 'A notable example of the last practice (rationalizing
concrete form-work} is furnished by tho two articles by A.G. Hampton. His tosts are a praisewortltvundertaking to disclose the facts
upon which a calculated engineering tlosign can bo predicntod •·••
They arc encouraging evidence of the possible yields that may be
obtained by appiying research methods to practical construction
problems' ~
A fow years ago, the propriety or granting the degree
of Bachelor of Arts to those graduates who specialize in their
Junior and senior years in literqture, history,and languages was
consifrorcd by 'Dhe Boe.rd., and on April 4, 1925, an Act was approved
with this provision, n1uid tho said Bonrd shall h8ve full power to
confer degrees on graduates of tho said collogerr. This Act removed
the l imitation a·s to the kind of dogroos which may be conferred,
and at the Commencement on Juno 8, 1926, the dogree of Bachelor
of Arts was conferred for tho first time. In the throe ~ecim-l~
;f onrs, this degree has been oonforrod. on 33 graduates. .S't.Cc~ 4 d,"":!J
The suggostion of conferring honorary dogroos has been
m2do by one or more members of tho Bee. rd. It is customary at the
Commencement exercises of many colleges to 8'Ward a few honorary
d~groes to persons who have Bttained to distinction in the liter&-ry
or sciontifi~ world, or have rendered conspicious public service.
/
This is a practivo which tho Board may consider worthy
of adoption in regard to The Citadel. Tho Act of 1925 limits tho
degrees to graduates; and for some years it might be woll to thus
limit the awards. Thero arc living todny, two of the oldest graduates, that fast diminishing band of ante-bellum alumni, whose long
lives of usofulness and public service could fitly be recognized
by this honor; and tho faculty of The Citadel recommends to the
Bo8rd that it confer tho honorary degree of Doctor of LawJ upon
Mr. R.o. · Sams, Class of 1861 0 rroldost Living Graduate" at this time,
and Mr. Orlando Sheppard, Class of 1865, former chairman of the
Boe.rd of Visitors.

The reports of the heads of departments indicate that
the work of t~e upper classes has on the whole been q_uite satisfactory, and 7 some cases much better than usualo In the lower
n
classes, a.t:,d 1.n the freshman cla:ss in particular, there is still
the comp~aint that too many stud.ants come to us with i .nadeq_uate
pre,paration and also many who are not imbuea. with the purpose of
serious study.
,
I woul~ recommend the ~remotion of Capt. Hair and Capt •

examination on July 12th.
On January .31st, last, Mr. J. R. Crouch, Cl ass of 1899,
died by a deplorable accident in his home at Greenville. A Number
of years ago, Mr. Crouch gave tho Board a bond for $5000 for founding a scholarship to bear his name, and his son, James R. Crouch,Jr,
was tho first holder of it, - graduating in 1927. Since then, the
scholarship has been held. by Cadet R.N. Simmons, a nephew of the
founder. Cndot Simmons is just completing his junior yonr, so thnt
ho is due to grnducto in 1930. Up to tho present timo, tho foos

At tho Citadel, the consistent effort to preserve a
wholesome discipline and ro~uiro systematic attention to studies
io ane of the most difficult of the adminiRtrative dutieso The
public, in gonernl, probably places a proper vuluo o.n this kind
of discipline$ but it must bo saicl with :-eegret that in too many
instances parents wish exceptions to be ma de in the cases of their
own sons, and thus rondor it difficult for the authorities to
:preserve any disciplino at all.

This weok-end period is not intondod as a closing-up
of the collogo or an into z-ruptio.r:i of lts orderly ro utine, 8.nd no ·
genoral exodus of students to all parts of the Stato is expected ..
But it is a remarbable fact that with modern rapid motor transportation the mania for travel has seized all olomonts of the
population including the students at college, and everywhere they
,
•

are encountered. on the roads, either trhitch-hiking" or speeding in
their own cars, - vehicles often of very doubtful degrees of serviceability.
While the :preservation of the regular order at the
Citadel has come to be one of the most difficult of its problems,
certainly, if this policy s_hall be abandoned, a very radical. change
will take place in the discipline and in the character of the college work done here.
With the increase in the size of the Corps, the work
of the office of the Comm13.ndant has correspondingly increased, and
tho otfiders of tho Army detailed to the Citad:191 as instructors in
mili ~ary science aro ron~.ering a great doal of sorvico not required
of thom by tho War Dop9rtmont in tho dopartmo.nt of discipline. Following tho plan in use at west Point, Bll minor delinquencies arc
taken up by these officers orally with tho cadots. Offenses of a
serious nature arc ·c onsidored "by tho Cor£1I1andant, who consul ts tho

That tho gray u.:r..iform overr.rnat bo roc;_uiroa. of all cadets next session .. Ho estimates that a.bout forty po1.:· ci:mt are now
provided with tho gray, and the old O.D~ overcoats still on hand
are worn only about tho · campus,,

That a special foe be chargod cadets to covor eny general movement of the Corps of Cadets, su.ch as thu trip to Orangeburg

Last yoar, tho Board, in tho interest of improving conditions regardlng drinking at the Citoool, changod Pa~; .. 60 (c)
of the Collogo Regulations to read as follows: "Any cadet found to
bounder tho influence of intoxicating liquor, or found in possossion of it as ownor, will bo dismissod. No appoal will boreceived or ontortainod by tho Board." As this paragrDph formorly
rend, tho offense was nthe drinking of intoxicating liquor or havi.ng it in his possossi,on", which was _punishablo by dismissal or
othorwise.
An unfo:i;fsoon contingency ar;so i!Lwhich cadets reported:
for being undur the influence of liquor frankly confessod to taking one or more drinlrn, but conten,ded thrt they were not under tho
influocne of it.
Tho Commandant thinks thot . the mora drinking of intoxicants should continua to be an offonse, although not necessarily
one to be visited with dismissal, and recommends thct the '~
originnl
paragraph bo restored and the substitute retained as an additional
rogula ti on.
5.
Up to the presont time, no romunoration hes ever boon
given to cadots who give thoir services in the . Band. Tho Comman/
dant rocommonds that a stipend of $25 a year be givun to cadets
after two years sorvico with this organization. I concur in this
recm.mmendation.
6.
Tho Commandant renews his recommendation th3t cadets bo
permitted to smoke in quarters and in privoto houses, but that
smoking in public places be prohibited and punished. I transmit
this without prejudice.
7.
He also recommends that the restriction on card-playing
/4uring reloase from quarters bo removed, but that •it should remain
V ~ minor offense during call to quarters, and that gambling remain
a more serious offense at all times.
'
-
✓
8.
The Commandant bulievos that tho time when cadets may
obtain class-rings is of sufficiont importance to merit administrative control, and recommends that cadets should not bo permitted
to wear class-rings before the beginning of tho second somc:ster of
the senior year.
It seosm to bo desirable to mako a change in tho RoguJ.D.tion prescribing the terms to bo used in granting discharges. Tho
+,orm "honorably di scharged 11 is at present usod only when n cadet
is "clear in scholarship nnd di sciplino, and is not in arrears."
The omission of the qualification as to scholarship would conform
to the general college practice whore the accepted moaning refers
to conduct only. This will avoid a good deal of oxplcnation and
correspondnnce. The registrar's certificate as too cadet's schol~ ·
estic credits givos in detail tho information in that particular,
ahd I would recommend that paragraph 27 be changed by omitting tho
requirement of scholarship for an honorable discharge. - ~
-...--Annual Inspection.
The annual inspection of tho military department was
mndo this yonr on M:ay 2 11 3, 4, by Major W.E. Duvall, Inf2ntry, and
J..1:Gjor c-s. Ccffory, C.A.C., who had been dotnilod for thet purpose.
While the official report has not yet been received, Major Duvall
had no hesitntion in saying informally thnt he found evc:rything
in excellent condition.

�With the exception of the _outbreak of influenza L~sv ~e0ember, the general health of the cadets during the past session has
been good. Dr. Cathcart reports that there has not been a case of a
contagious disease during nhe year. Half a dozen cases of personal
injuries, due mostly to foot-ball, were tr0ated by the Surgeon,and
'3 11 made good recoveries. Nine other cases of serious illness. also
rn~1d e good rocovorios ..
The influenza opidomic all over tho country was fortunately
~fa mild type, and cut of 323 ca~os at Tho Citadel not a large
number were seriously ill. But with a normal bed capacity in the
Mary Bennett M:uri~ay Ros_pi te l of t=iirty bods, improvised accommodations had to co mede as tb.6 o:pidemic increased, until on December
12th 104 cadets wero boing C8red for. Upon the advice of tho Surgeon, and the apprc,val of tho Chairman of tho Board, I then furloughed the cadets, with tho oxception of t~ose who were ill,until
January 4th. • This was later extended to tb:a 9th.
Dr. Cathcart calls attention to the need of an additional
wing to the Hospital in view of tho large size of tho Corps and such
an emergency as occurred at this timo.
i tern in tho budget under the head of "materials" was approv ...
ed by both houses of th~ Legislature for the purpose of screening
all the doors and windows in the two Barracks buildings. Unfortunate~,
ly, when the Appropriation Bill was sent to free conference a cut
of $5000 was made in this item, which makes it necessary to defer
other important work in ord~r that the screening _
may be completed.
Student Activities
An
Tho Ilirector of Cadet Affairs, Capt. McAlister, has the direct••·
ion and supervision of the athletic and social activities of tho cadets, and directs the financial affairs of the college publications.
His complete and inturos'1:iing report covers ell of these activities end contains some important recommendations. Unden the head
of Athletics,he writes this paragraph which I wish to QUOte with approbation,and which I tnow will be road with satisfaction by the
Bor:;rd:
11 In a December issue of the Bull Dog an article was pub:t-ished
with reference to tho action of the Association of Educators meeting
at Chnttanooga, Tonno,reg2rding the brand of athletic-competition in
various scho0ls in the South. This article stated that this association took a vote to designate those schools showing the most sportsr,12nliko atti tucte on athletic fields and in athletic halls during contests. Tho report stRted that The Citadel was reted first in this
troup. This, r:think,is _
the highest tribute that can bo paid an inntitution's athletic activities. The question of how our teams play
Js more important than the number of games that the teams win."
A new addition has bo :Jn made to the already formidable list of
college sports during tho_ past year. Boxing ,as an inter-collegiate
~;port sea.ms to have been 1avorably received by the public. and, as
conducted. under tho spociEll rules adopted by college s:budents seems
to be - not only un0-bj_e.cti@able but as developing
r •
I
�,1cnlinoss 2.nd sports.rpanship oo,u.nJ. J.,.y _well ·with other contos.ts. Also,
... t soems to be ~ttondec1 wi -bh vury l i ttlu l;i..abili ty __tn. -personal inJuries. The spor.t h~s been cul ti yated in tho training comps of the
-.~rmy, Wavy, and Marino Corps since tho beginning of tho World war
nnd it is likely that tho renovmed. ].if.r. Tunney, 88 a reprcsontnti vo
of · ~me of the milj_tary services, hns hr;d somvthing to do with the
wHlo -popn.J_::u:ity that it enjoys nt the prosont time.
Whether amuten.r boxing ns practiced in tho colleges
comes under tho bnn of the lnw whJch .:prohibits prizo-f'ighting is
e ques.tion which the Governor wishes to lrnvo decided. He has sug'':.,-:. . stod that _ friendly suit be brought to hove n decision on the
a
point. I wrote the presicent of the University and nskod if the
J,!';.W Deportment of the Uni vorsi ty woulc1 look a :ft er it; but his judg1.,e.:.1t is that tho mG.ttor shoy.lc1 be taken up from another direction.
I respectfully submit t::io question to th::i BoRrd.
The financing of student publicntions hns bocdmo n mettcr of importance and concern to ell tho colleges. The consensus
of opinion seems to bo th2t the college p2.por and college ~nnual
h8ve become so genernlly accepted os a part of tho student activities that c foe for their support ought to be essessod on all the
stuc1onts just as n fee for text-books.
Tho Director of Cadet Aff~irs recommends thet n fee pf
$3 for onch quarter be chnrged to ench cadet for student 2ctivities,
::ind that the first · stn.lment be tho Y.MoEeA. fee which is now req_uired, nnd thet the/ instclmcnts go to the Bull Dog and tho Sphinx
as colleetod. Tho amount is not large, and will prove burdensome
to very few, if any, so I recommend its npproval.
Captain McAlistor recommends the nb.oli tion of tho holiin May· which has always been given heretofore for a cadet picnic.
.I:he picnic along with some other institutions of former days, has
lost its distinctive character and no longer deserves a plnco on
our calondar. I concur in his rocommendntion.,
~- f..t.'f

.,.
Ho also points out an apparent tcncloncy among a number
'of the cadets to use intoxicating liquors, - not to the excess, it
io true, of being nundv.r the lnfluoncen of them ns construed under
i ho regulations, bu.t with as much indulgence as ce,n '11e ventured up,
on without incurring such a report. This concurs precisely with the
view of the Commandant previously presented*
The roport of the Y.M.C.A. Secretary shows thst this
j J'.•ganization is sofving a useful purpose in the Corps. It gots out
r tthandbookn annually.. which is sent to each incoming freshman, giv- l.n.g him a more intimate view of Gadot life, and it looks after these
1 r:1on on their arrival in Charleston, giving them necessary directi ions and making the way easier for them at tho beginning.
In the religious work in the Corps, the Association is
lnd.ebted to many of tho clergy and laymen in the City who give fully
0f their time and .service.

The general public does not seem to be aware that if
the enrolment at The Citadel should be limited to its present number , 720, the need for a bui lding program would still be an urgent
m
atter . The impression exist s that we have practic ally a complete
pla nt for the number of students in atte ndance. Such is not the
ca se. It may seem strange to the uninfo rmed that tho main college

The size and importance of this building, which very
properly has been designed to be the crowning ar.c.hltoctnral f eatui.,o
of tho Now Citadel, preclude the possibil i ty of ~ny inforior or
cheap construction. The ostimatos of tho arc hi. te ,:, t; s_ made g year
ago give tho probable cost, including t!'lO Atldi. t o:eium, as $400,000.
An item for this amount was put in the Citadel budget, but wa s r efused by the Bud.got Committee, and was not pressed when the Appropriation Bill was beforo the House and Senato. The re~uosts of all
the State colleges for appropriations for new buildings met with
a similar fa.to.
�Under . t .h.o :provision~ of tho lRW which permit tho colloges to rotain their tuition foos, it is possible to devise a
plan by rrieans of which those foos m2,y _ o us od during tho course
b
of a number of y0 ::1rs to 2.mortizo a loan for the erection of new
buildings.

ou1· h op os may bo realized. in four or fl vo yo 2r s . rt is unfortuna to that something so much noodod at the prosont time should
h2ve to be postponed for so long, but if no osrlier consumation
of our desires can bo nnticipatod, plans should be medo. at loast

In this connection, tho attentio~ of tho Board is call~
ed to tho effort madu during tho last session of the Legislature
to have tho old Citadel buildings at Marion Sg_uare turned ovur to
the City of Ohc.rleston. Tho persons who advocated this measure
could hardly have boon aware of tho fact that those buildings are
sorving at tho prosont timo f:m ina.,sponsablo purpose for tho Militory Collego. Just as the genoral public is unaware that tho Now
Cit~dol still l:ctcks its main college buildine;, it is og_ually ig ...

officers and professors. At the new site, t ho only buildings constructed so far for the faculty arc two housos, ono for the president, end the othor, - ~ four-apnrtmont house~· - for the comme,ndc

The cession by thu State of e.11 tr..e 1 :,v.Jld.ings at Marion
8q_uare to the City of Charleston would cortaj.n1y be inopportune at
th0 present timo. to Gay tho loast; and in view of tho needs of the
t.1 ili tary college; I think that, with one exception those buildingfJ
ought to be retain0d by tho State until a satisfacto17 sale can be
i11ude of them, and that the proceeds sh1..., u'Ld. then ·be Llf.rnd fo:r furt.he1·
construction at tho ITuw Ci'bE:del.
�Prop9rty-·vnluos in Cherloston probably do not warrant
the oxpoctation that tho Old Citadml property could bo sold now,
except at a groat sncrifico, but thoro is no reason to bolievo
that n few year □ hence it may not bring its propor price. Until
this time come □• it io nocossary that tho buildings 2t Marion
SQUGro bo rotninod by tho Boerd of Visitors for tho uso of tho
fncul ty.,
Ono exception might bo considered which brings up tho
inturosting historical fnct that the one hundredth anniversary of
-~1.10 construction and occupancy of tho Ci tad el will occur on the
8th of next .Janunryo This is not tho contonary of tho Citadel
~·:,cadomy, of cours .J ~ vrhich will no doubt be properly celebrated in
1942; but on Jcnuary 8th 9 1830, tho formal opening of rrTho Citadeltr
was colobrated with an imposing coromony~ It wns,indood, an e~ent
of great moment in tho wolfaro of Ch2rlcston~ Eight years boforo,
in 1822, a frightful caltnstropho ho.a. .t ?
:ii'.'oatonod tho city, - an
uprising of tho nogro popu.lo;_tion -to m2ssGoro tho white people and
dovnstote the town,, Fortunately, tho p:Lot vrns revealed by a fnithful negro, and tho awful calamity nvortod; but tho Stato proceeded
to take effective moans of defense against any · similar threat in
the future by providing fmr tho construc+,ion of a stronghold in
tho ei ty whore arms and munitions could ·be stored 2nd an offoctive
guard maintained.
An Act 11 to establish n compotont force to act as a
municipal gua1~ for thu protection of tho City of Charloston and
its vicinityrr was passed in 1822, and provision made for the con-·
struction of a "St~ te Arsenal rr, - aftorwnrdo callod TTTho Ci tsdoln,
F:edorick Wesner wns o~e~gc~ a~ a~ohit?ct,_ ~nd.ho drew tho plsns
fmr n rectangular fort1f1~:d..bu1ld1ng with bastions, thoroughly ef~
foctivc for defense, which in tho course of tho next few years was
completed. In tho foll of 1829, tho building wns rendy to bo occupied.
At tho joint request of the State and City authorities,
tho United Sta tos Wa.r Dopartmont agrood to fu.rnish tho guard from
troops stationed at Fort Moultrie, and tho 8th of Jonu.nry, which
was customarily colobrcted nt that timo es tho anniversary of tho
Battle of Now Orleans, was selected for tho coromony of occupancy.
The Mcrcuey of January 11, 1830 gives tho following
rec ou.nt of tho exorcises:
"Tho State A.rsunal being ready for tho rocoption of tho
l'Ggula r · troops dostinod to occupy it, Friday l2st, tho 8th of
ci°Qnuary, was soloctod as a day suitable for tho ceremony of delivering it into thoj_r possession.
·1
Ten volwn"toer companies of tho Sixteenth and Sovontoenth
regiments wore cletailod as an escort to this guard, whilst tho
Washington Light Infantry wore despatched to tcke possession of
the Citadel as the guard on duty to bo relieved~ .Abollt nine o'clock
i;ho steamboat John David Mongin ar:aivod at Fitzsimons' warct with
throo companies under the command of Major Heileman,
�and from thonco march•3d to Broad Stroot, whore they wcro formeli
in lino in front of tho Custom Houso. The oscort was formed in
Broad Stroot, tho right on mooting Strooto About ol~von o'clock
tho pscort under tho command of Captain Egleston moved dovm Broad
Stroot, and u_on Lrajor Heileman being apprizod that all was ready,
p
the line of march was taken up, and upon tho military passing
the city hall~ in which tho intendant and council, tho oommissionors who had suporintondod tho oroction of tho building, tho
officers of the Uni tod Sta tcs army.~ foreign consuls and distingu'ishod str·angcrs had proYiously a ssombled ~ they formEJd in tho
roar of tho military~ folloVJed by a largo concourse of citizens,.
Tho procession move'.l up mooting Stroot~ and upon E:rriving near
to tho arsenal? tho m:Lli tuJ'.'Y formed into line with presented arms,
whilst the &•i.vilian _procession moved through the great ontr£mce
into tho interior of the Q~'.'sonal an1 took possession of tho immonso balconies that noarJ.y surroundoc. it vii thino The Uni tod
States troops then p:::.ssod the State t1·oops, and thet portion intended to occupy tho station entered and took post on tho right
of the Washington Light Infantry. Tho romaind..er, togother with
the State troops then entered and formed a line e.round tho s4uaro~
The coromo111 of relief then took pl[;co, Col. Hunt acting RS old offi~er of tho day. Tho now guard he.ving p2ssed inspection, they wore rn?.rchod past Major Heileman, asting cs new
officer of tho dny, wore received with military honors, and took
position to the right of tho old guard. Tho coromony of relief
having concludod, and the 8rsone,l having 'boE'.in delivered to the
9hargo of Major Belton, commanding tho United States troops, the
officers of tho Unitaa. States Army were invited to tho saloon and
introduced to Col. Hunt, severally, to the Intendant and Members
of Council who had previously been stationed thoro. After tho
coromony of in-troduction, tho Intendant nddrossod Major Heileman
and his brother officers, explaining tho object of tho Institution and tho duties they wore oxpectod. to perform; rominding them
of tho order of tho war Dopartmont; as~ing th.om of tho full reliance reposed. in them both as soldiers and friends; and welcoming thorn cordially in the name of tho communityo Ho also made ·
some brief remarks in allusion to tho say, (tho 8th of January),
which haQ boon selected. to receive them; upon tho happy illustration which their establishment amongst us afforded. of the true
principles of our government, of tho confidonco with which a State
may dem.o.nd assistance, and of tho readiness of the national administration to afford. it. Ho concluded by inviting Wia jor Heileman and his brother officers, and e.11 tho comp2.ny present to a
collation :prepflrod. for tho occcsion. Tho collation w2.s very num!l'Jrously attended, and presented an animated scene of republican
fostivity.n
Thu. s, it will bo seen, that in tho beginning, the Cito -◄
dol was occupied by United States troops. This oecup~tion, however, was of berely two Jrears duration, for th0s0 wore the days
when nullification was brewing war-clouds on tho political horizon. Governor Jamos Hamilton, Jr., in his message to tho General
Assembly on November 27, 1832, made the following suggestive
recommendation:

Jefferson Hotel, Columbia,
November 5, 1929-
s. c.
A Special Meeting of the Board of Visitors of The Citadel, The
Military College of South Carolina, was held this day at ten oclock
A. M.
Preaent - 'Iha Chairman, Mr. John P. Thomas, and Mr. Westmoreland,
Mr. Kreps, Col. Ihmmond, Col. Padgett, President Bond and Quarterm~ater Tiller, and later in the day Mr. Still,.
y
Cadet Latmer& Thia Beneficiary Cadet from Chesterfield Uounty,
made application for his discharge and it was approved by the Board,
and Cadet Padgett of Colleton County was appointed to fill the vacancy.
~rs. R. G. Thomasa to whom had been offered the office of Asst. Librarian, under certain conditions, advised the Board through the President that she could not accept the position,
Col. Hammond moved that the salary placed in the Budget for an
Asst. Librarian be stricken out, and be inserted an itam "N,athematic ian
Emeritus", at a salary of $1200.00; his duties would be to lecture on
higher mathematics, Engineering, and Road Building under the direction
of the President.
The Board then recessed to meet the Budget Ccmimiasion in office
of Governor Richards at eleven oclock.
The Board met with the Budget Commisaiona~~~~ Governor
Richards, Senator McCaslan, Chairman, Senateae Committee, Mr.
Robertaon, Chairman, House Finame Committee, and Mr. Duncan, Secretary
to Committee.
'!he following letters from President Bond to the Board
and the attached correspondence was furnished each member of the Budget
Committee and became a part of the records of the meeting.
The Budget for 1930 vas read by President Bond and carefully
followed by the Committee, who asked many questions, especially where
any increase or adjustments of salaries or other items occurred. All
inquiries were fully answered or explained by President Bond. After
fully analyzing the Budget, the Governoro stated that no change in the
present handling of the funds of the College would take place (unless
the Legislature at its coming session orders it) for the many reasons
advanced for and against any changes in the present method of keeping
the accounts of the College. Because if certain monies collected from
Cadets under the present plan and returned to the State Treasurer, the
Boa.rd would expect the lump sum of such items to be added to the Bud~et
0
to avoid a deficit in maintenance.
'Ihe Governor adjourned the meeting at about two oclock P. M.
Respect fully,
.....
Secretary, Board of Visitors.

COL . 0 . J . BOND
PRESIDENT
October 25, 1929
To the Board of Visitors of The Citadel:
I have received a lett~r from..the State Auditor, a copy of which is enclosed, - which is so important that I_
believA ±.hn
~a shQU.ld decide what action.....shall be taken in
reply. I am submitting for t h ~ · a - t i o n of tho Board.the
necessary statistical i ~ t i o n with some explanatory statements and recommendations.
Tho question raised regards the fees collected from
cadets, and involves a decision as to ·which of these f0es must
be remitted to the State Treasurer.
A printed circular which we sent out to parents
exhibits the oxpenses of a cadet for a session~ ~hose are paid
in four instalmonts .. .Among tho i terns is a quartorly foe of
$12.00 for "laundry, lights, heat, hospital, wator, etc." This
appt;ars to be the item (and the only one) which raises a ques-,
tion with the State Auditor.
·
No distribution of this twelve dollars in specific
amounts among the various items is made, but an an~lysis of the
accounts for the year 1928 shows that an approximate distribu~
tion for that year vJOuld b0 about as follows:
For
For

permanent improvements
1.50
Total
12.50
For the prusent year, 1929, the figures might vary
a littl~ rolativoly.
In order to show how this distribution is det0r•
mined, I give heru certain accounts of the quartermastor under
tho budget classification.

Stated in its simplest turms, tho actual cost of
those items for the year was $77,567i54, of which the State paid
$43,.430 .. 00 and thr:; balance, $34;_137~54, v1as paid by cadet fees~
The Board is aware that the budget figures are
never made to cover all the cost, but foes from cadots supplement the appropriation. If, however, any of thc:s.e fees are to
be remitted to the State Treasurer, it will be necessary to
provide a larger appropriation, and a 11 the i terns named above
will have to be put in the budget in larger amounts.
The immodiat~ ~uestion before us is whether we
shall remit to the State Tr0asurer all or any of these fees which
we have colloctdd in tho first instalment for thd present session?
If so, it will be necessary immedistely to re<luest the Governor
to return us the same amount from th~ contingent, or some other
fund - so as to pay our necessary running expou.ses.
,
I think this matter should be considered with the
Governor, and respectfully suggest to the Board a conference
for that purpose.
Before taking any action in the matter, I will
await instructions from the Board.
Respectfully,
O.J. Bond,
Prc:sident.

.
Col. O.J. Bond~ President,
The Citadel,
Charleston, S. C.
Jea r Sir:
In order to clear up a matter about which there
has been considerable doubt, this office has requested an
opinion from the Attorney General as to which fec,s and other
revenue may be retained by State Colleges and Institutions.
A copy of his ODinion is enclosed herewith.
Based on your last audit by this departm~nt it
seems that the opinion will req_uire that the following fees
collected at your particular institution be remitted to the
State Treasurer , although due to the period covered in our
last audit, there may be other fees from which no receipts
were shovm.
Hospital Fees
Heat , Light and water Fees
It is req_uested th.at you arrange your records
so as to segregate any of the fees, or other revenue, v1hich
under this opinion , should be remitted to the State. It is
paaticulbrly re ~uestod that this segregation should begin with
the openini of school this year and that remittance be made in
accordance therewith.
Your attention is further directed to paragraph
one:of the encl ose d opinion which provides that all moneys collected and which arc to be remitted to the State Treasurer shall
be remitted on or buforo the tenth day of each month .
Yours very truly,
J.M .. Smith,
State Auditor.
�"Section 882 of the Civil Code of 1922 provie,:;s: 'That
all moneys collected by or for any State department, institution,
board or commis sion shall be paid into the State Treasury on or
before the ~enth day of each month, and all monoys so deposited
shall be credited to the general fund unless otherwise provided for in the annua l .Al,3~ropriation Act: J?rovided, That this sect~
ion;f:lhal1 not re g_ui re the State colleges to t urn into the State
Treasury moneys collected from students for food, including college farmrJ)roducts, clothing , breakage, books, college entertainmants, society and association dues and collece publications.'
•
"Ac~ No. 592, Ac ts of 1926, provides: ' Tb.a t all tuition
fee s collccte~ by Winthrop-College, The Eedica.l College of
South Carolina, University of South Carolina and the Citadel
shall be used by tho Board of such college or institution, toward
the payment of permanent improvements in ~1ch college 0~ inatitution, excepting the per capita loan fund as may be provided
by law.'
"Under the provisions of the Section of the Oodo q_uoted
Ab ove, tha State collegas are expressly permitted to retain fees
~aid in by students for board, breakage, society ~nd associati on dues and ~ollege publications, which I think vrnuld include
student activity fee. In addition under Act. No. 592, q_uoted
above, Winthrop Colleg0 , i:::1he lviudical ColhJge of South Cs rolina,
Univorsi ty of South Caro lina and tho Ci t .ade l are a,uthorized to
retain tuition feos. The law makes no provision f or disposal
of excess, wher0 a f E;o loviod for a specific purpose produces
a su~ greatdr than is necessary to take care of the purpose for
v1hich it is levied, and it is our opinion that such excass may
be retained by thu college or institutton.
"It is also our opinion that in view of the fact that
tho lavv expressly provides ·✓vhich fees may be retained by the State
colleges, it is to be presumed that all fees not expressly
given to the colleges may bo remitted to the State Treasurer,~
hence, room rents. matriculation fees, semaster fees, late rogibtration fees, inf~rmary feds, library f0es, laboratory fees and
special course feos must b8 remittod to thu Stato Treasurer in
ac co rdance with tha law."
�-EXPENSES-Q:'he expenses as outlined below are subject to change by action of the Board or
Visitors.
en a new cadet is enrolled a $10.00 deposit on account of uniforms is required.
This sum is additional to the uniform items paid in the .egular installments. This fee is
not returnable if the applicant makes a reservation and does not report.

Charleston,
s.c, January I8th,I928
!~~j~cial meeting of the Board of Visitors was held at the Citadel this
~~f ~t Io o'clock a.m.

F .B .Grier, Col D.. E .Spivey ,Hon: J .H .Hope,.! .H .l.ei th, Gen' 1. James. C.Dozier,

the meeting was the consideration of an appeal of Cadet J • .I.JPolkes,from
the findings of the Court 1.=artial(Board of Officers)appointed to consider
the case.
This case came to the Board in the following correspondence:
December 29th,I927. ✓
Col.O.J.Bond,i:.resident.
I received this morning your letter of the 28th
inst.,advising me of the confirmation by the Board of Officers of the
finding of the Honor Committee in the case of Cadet John.Folkes.
~or and in behalf of John.Folkes,I hasten to give
you notice of an appeal from the findings aforesaid to the Board of
Visitors of the Citadel.
As I am not advised as to the procedure necessary
to bring the case properly before the Board of Visitors for thier ~onsideration and action at the earliest :practical date,,I beg you will ad~lse
me fully and promptly in respect to same.
As you are perhaps advised,I ,as permitted,along
with my brother,to attend the first ·meeting of the Board of Officers and
heard all of the testmmony taken at that meeting and I nm.st say I am at
a loss to understand how the Board could,in the light of the testimonyt
sustain the action of the Committee.

Col.O.J.Bond,PreSident.
Further referring to the Case of Cadet John. I1 olkes
I understand,as his representative,that I am entitled to a full copy of
the record,including the testimony,and I shall be glad to receive same at
your very eaTliest convenience~ If I am mistaken as to my rights in this
matter,please so advise me.

proper procedure to have the case in question acted upon by your Board.
As soon as I am,I aill take the necessary steps to that end.
In the meantime,I beg to remain,
Very truly yours

H.. L .i.:on tague
The followmg from President Bond:
January Ioth,I928.
l' r John.P.Thomas, Chairman:
I have received a communication from the Board of
Officers rvhich investigated the case of Cadet Folkes,which I think should
oe forwardecrTo you with my endorsement. It is very rare,111 my op1.m.on,
when the ronor Committee and a competent Board of officers fail to get the
facts. It seems to me that if the Board of Visitors reserves the right to
remit the penalty ( "pardoning pow err' ) , that it will serve the purposes of
discipline much better not to go into the trial of these casesof discipline
except in very rare casesreferred to them by the kresident.
As a practical question it would seem that the
calling together of the Board,which may involve great inconvenience to
members of the Board,and also considerable expense to the institution ·
should not be required except in extraordinary circumstances, I believe,
therefore,that the announcement to the Corps that the Board of Visitors
will not review ordinary cases of discipline will not only have a salutary
effect on discipline,but will relieve the Board of unnecessary and un1,leasunt labors and also save expense to the in1?titution.
( signed J
O.J.Bond. I~esident
�January 6th, I928
Fresident O.J.Bond, The Citadel.
Prompted by a desire to maintain at rrhe Citadel the highest possible···
standard of honor and discipline,the Board of Officers appointed by you to
investigate the case of Cadet Folkes,beg to supplement their report by the
following comments;1
.Je feel that the effective continuation of the "honor systemH at The
Citadel is absolutely essential to the proper maintenance of discipline
in the institution and honor and integrity among the Corps. Je have the
highest respect for the members of the Honor Corill!li.ttee,chosen by the
student body from their own number, ,le have sincere praise for the thoroughness, care and impartiality which they have shown in investigating the
present case and others submitted to them, We confidently believe that
their judgement in cases affecting the honor of any member of the· Corps
is more likely to be correct than that of any other investigating body.
If an appeal is to be made from a decision of the Honor ~ommittee,we
believe that a review of the case by a Board of Officers selected from the _
faculty is certainly sufficient to prevent any injustice from being done.
,fe believe that a furtner appeal to the Board of Visitors will result
in the complete break-down of the honor system,since it will be impossible
to induce students of the right character to serve on the Honor Committee
if their acti ans are to be reviewed and often reversed by the Board. ,1e
further believe that_ if the practice of reviewing such cases by the Board
is continued,nearly every case in which the Honor Committee finds a student
guilty will be carried to .the Board,requiring their frequent attention to
matters for which they have little time or inclination.
,le r-....now of no other college in which it is the custom for members of
the governing board to review and sometimes reverse the action of its
students and faculty in matters of this sort.
,Vith the best interest of the institution at heart,we respectfully
request that you submit these comments to the members of the Board of
Visitors.and urge the definitely~o announce to the faculty and student
body that they will hereafter decline to hear appeals from the findings of
the Honor Cornmittee,unless such action is recommended by the lTesident of
institution ..

General Order No.---------I.
The replrted increase in the use of intoxicating liquors by
Cadets has caused the Board of Visitors grave concern. No Colle~
will be doing its duty as an educational institution which does
not teach its students the danger· to young men of indulgence in
drink. A young man addicted to:' this habit will find it difficult
to obtain employment of any kind when he graduates from College,
and he runs grave risk of impairing if not destroying his health
us&fflness and happiness.
In order to impress upon th~ Cadets the seriousness
with which the Board views the indulgence in intoxicating liqUOJ!,
_,t he Boarg,,.instructs that Par.6o(C) of the regulations be changed

.rune 4, 1928
To the Board. .of Visitors of .the Citadel.
Gentle-men:
In submitti.ng the annual report of the affairs of the
Military Colleger there is so much of satisfactory progress to
repoM that it vrnuld seem inappropriate to lay stress upon the d;i:Eap:pointments wb,ich we have ):).ad A year a_ ~ however, we looked forgo
ward to one great hope which . has not been realized, . and which is so
fundamentally important for our future · J;)rogx:ess that it deserves
the place of first consideration . in this report. I refer to the unsuccessful efforts which were made to get funds f " r the construction
o
_ of the Main_ College building of the New Citadel.
8
At the reQuest of the Chairman of the Board the architects prepared plans and estimates last summer which showed that the
cost of this building would be approximately as follows:
,k...__
M:ain Adminj_strat ion Building, $259,200 . :
Audi toriwn,
144, 00D.
,-
At its meeting last ootobe1" the Boa;rd directed that an
item of $400,000 be put in the budget of the ditadel for this pur;..
pose :and that an effort be made to get an a.ppropriation from the
Legislature to cover tlw cost of construction. However 1 at a special meeting of the Board held in Columbia in January 1a·st_., it was
decided not to l)ress th.is request; but to obtain the appr·oval of
the General Assembly to _a bill which _
would authorize the Board to
borrow $250,000 on an :ilinortization plan, making use _of tuition fees.
-.
The pressing need of a bu~ldtng program is not peculiar
to the . Citadel, but is a- problem common to all the State institutions of learning. It wfll be of interest to examine the statements
of these institutions as to their neels for permanent improvements .
as shown in their reports for the past two years,' and atso tno ·pro- ·'

A trustee of 0110 of our notable universities who had an
unbounded. confia.ence · in tho mission and. the; integrity of his instft.\l.tion~ announced. with all se:-iousness that nit was thu solo duty of the
Commit-tee on Finance to find whatever -sums th0 Committees on Education
and xaru on Buildings and Grounds might state to be necessary to carry
on adeq_ua to ly tho work of t~1e University. n
J-,..,.._,
From the point of viow of the colleges, this wo~ld be .
· ari -ideal viow for the . Legislature to tako in regard to th9ir budgets.
Nor would it ap:pear altogether absur~, porhaps, oven to tl1~oconomistgi
of the General Assembly if t~1.oy felt assured tha.t tho fig.uros subrp.itted
expr-e-sse-d the roal minimum of actual no eds and not ambition:s desires ·
for oxpansion. In tho tab lo above, t~1e req_uu-sts of the various institutiohs for their building programs are undoubtedly bi;3.sod upon auth0ntioatod needs and careful estimates • .And. yet. fol" a _total of two ana." a
' half .· m.illions f?tatod as thei:r needs for now construction, only ten por
cent was grantoa..
' 1
This policy caru;1ot, of course, be adopted as permanent.
1 1 he facilities
l
for higher ed.u cation must be onlargcd to meat tho}.gr.owth
, of tho State- in population and resources. Tho members of thc. _Logisla. ture, however, may say that tho. amoJJ.A;1:;S asked for. '.f:i&JI!_ by the collogos,while entirely reasonable from tho po_nt of viow of thoir need.s , i
c2nnot be provided for on account of the inability to raise a suffic iortt revenue from taxation.
· ·. · · ·
It is .to moot this serious situation that the governing
boards of tho colle-gcs have been seeking other methods of financing
thoi- building programs. Va,rious method.s are being tried in different
r
pnrts of the country.
1 • .A Stat.c Bond Issue.
2. Direct legislative appropriation.
3. Private financing (benofact:ions and campaigns)~
Tho first of these methods has been co.opted in a number
of States, but was d.ecisively rejected in Sou.th Ca.J?olina a few years
ago when a Constitutional amen:clment for that purpose was submittod to
the people~

ThG oxporionco of the p~st two years gives little hope
that sufficient funds cDn bo obtained from current appropriations.
Tho Cito.d.ol hns boon pa:rticularly fortunt:;to in receiving sovorsl notable benefactions, which hnvo provided our beautiful
2nd woll-eq_uippod hospi t::--,1 2nd tl1.o splendid now Andrew
Iil\:i.rray Bc.rr2cks. Funds from the s2me som~co h2vo assisted l8rgoly in tho addition of the president's house, and the 6fficors' ~uartors on tho campus. In those lotter buildings, tho cost he: s boon partly borne by
funds from tuition foes. Tho construction of Alumni Hall is due to
voluntary subscriptions from members of the Association of Graduates.
But benefactions cannot be counted upon oven when most needed. Therefore, the proposal of tho Board to utilize tuition fees to amortize a
loan seems to be the only feasible plan yet proposed for continuing
our needed building p:rogr2,m. If the Ci tadol is to become a really important educational institution, the construction of tho Main College
Building is tho imm0di2.te need.
B,
In this connection, the subject of raising the chRrgo
for tuition has a direct bearing. An oxnmin~tion of tho statistics of
102 St2.te¢ universiti0s and State Colleges in tho United States shows
tho following interesting facts:
For residents of the Stnto,
make no charge for tuition,
charge less than $50 a year,
charge from $50 to fi100, and
ch2rgo more than $100 •.
For non-residents,
3()% make no chnrge,
28% chargo less thRn $50,
18% ch2rgo from $50 to $100, and
24% charge moro than ~~100 •.
Tho charge for tuition to both residunt and non-resident
students in the Stat0 colleges of South Caroline\ is the sc.mo,. $40 a
year. Of 16 other Southern universities and colleges,. only two charge
tuition to residents of the Stnte. It would s0om,. hO\·rnvor, th2t a
charge of $50 a yoar at tho Cit2del to stud0nts irom South Carolin2,
except in cases approved by the St2to Bo2.rd of Public Welfare, woiU!it:
not be a umti~E hardship, 2nd a charge of $90 to non-residents would
be reasonable. On this basis, the probable 2nnucl income from tuition fees would bo 2bout $30,000, 2nd incrosso of abmut 50% over our
present income.
If the Board is allowed to set aside this amount each
yce..r a building program can be planned which, ·whilo not ado q_uate, wiL_
r: t least help us slowly Jto at tc?. in the objects we he-ve in view. It
should bo said that if tho raise in the tuition foes proposed above ir
cdo:ptod by the Boe.rd, it should not go into offoct until tho session
1929-1930,. ss vve h2ve already mc:do a largo number of reservations fo:r
noxt session on tho present basis of n forty-dollar feo.

The nu.mbers in tho two lower classes will be considerably
increased after the records of the session are completed, The considerable number of failures in these classes is not peculiar to the Bitadel, but is the common problem' in all grades of the educational ·
field in all the States. The ~n1ver~ity Society of New York, in a re~
view of the whole field of education, has compiled records to show
that ~ the multitudes of boys who start out in the grarru:nar schoo,l,
of
only Z~ per cent go on to the completion of a college course. The
losses, according to thi~ authority, occur about as follows: nof all
the boys who start school, more than a third drop out without ever
finishing the Eighth Grade. Another third - nlmost - stop at the end
of the Eighth Grad~. The final t _ ird go on into the High School .,. but
h
less than half of them graduate. Only about one of every ten boys who
start school goes on to college. Even of that ten per cent who ·enter
col).ege, less than a third graduate.n Of the living 1\merican men today, it is estimated that less than one in a hundred are college graduates. But the number is increasing, and the value of a college education is not diminishing ;Ln the esteem of the public. On the contrary, the facilities of the higher eQucational institutions are everywhere being taxed by increasing numbers of . applicants for a~mission
whm. have very different degrees of aptitude and qualifications for - advanced. wor.k, and many who are not q_ualified at all.
�- -----------------------,,
.
Some very serious _problems arc involved., Rnd solutions
c.ro boi ng sought in the e stablish.mont of j'unior high schools in the
field of socondnry education~ and of junior e ollegos further on, with
tho possibility of tho old-time "college of l iber2l artsn being finnlly forced to give t he specialized courses oi' the modern university
or go out of existence .•, At the Citadel, we o.re holding to the conserva tive pl2n of using the f i rst two years of the college course · for lay
i ng t he foundntion of wh~,t 1'If:3y be called a ngeneral educni;ionH, during which time the student -i s "!'eq_uired to tnko o. proscribed course of
studi~s , 2nd i n the junior nnd senior yenrs offering eloctivep courses
which be nr di rectly upon his prospective life-work.
LITERARY ACTIVITIES.
A gradual decline of the literary societies has been .one
of the re gretta ble features of our colleges gener~lly. It is probably
due to the i ncr easing, attention-which is being paid to athletics and
t o soci~l a ct ivities by student s~ There is always, however, a limited
number of men with litera~y tastes who/ are willing to give some of
their spe,re t i me to purely seholarly pursuits, and during the past year
a committee of professors from the literary depe.rtments organized in tht·
~orps a selected grou:p under the t itle of "The Round Table 11 for the pur~
pose of discussing ~uestions ~f intellectunl ~nd cultural inte~ests
and for the practice of or al ·expression. This society meets bi-weekly,
2.nd h.2. s discussed such topics as wThe purpose of education 11 , 11 The gener al s ta tus -of edu.c-ation in the United States 11 , 11 Prohibition 11 , and "The
presidential elec-tion. rt
Tho Round Taolo also arranges for inter-collegiate aliebates and oratoTical contests~ and it is gratifying to report that the
Citade l debaters won in contests both with the College of Charleston and
Wofford College this session- A member of the Round Table represented
the Citadel in the State oratorical contest, and others hav~ submitted
theses on TrJohn C. Ce.lh.ounn in the competition for the u.n.c. medal.
We h2ve reason to look upon the experiment of the Round
Ta ble with decided hopefulness.,
BENEFICIARY SCHOLA.RSHIPS.
There are sixteen vacant scholarships to be filled by competitive examinations on July 13th in the following counties:

MILITARY DEPARTMENT~
The mili tery department has been conducted with effi--~c iency, and the report of the am1ual inspection dated May 16th
st:;ates. that the units at the Citadel are pronounced proficient,which
cBrries with it the pr:i.vi.lege of designating four rrhonor graduates .. n
This does not mean, h9wever, that four of our graduates will receive
~ommissions in the .Army 1 as that depends u.pon the number of .vacancies ·
available., It is also to be noted that no udi stinguished · collegesn
ai·e 'd esignated this· year; but only a statement regarding · proficiency
is published" I have, however~ a letter from General Richmond P ..
Dav is, . commariding the Fourth Corps .Area, stating that the military

DISCIPLINE.,
---·---
,
w:l.. t1~· tho incteasc in tho size bf, the Corps, the problem of discipline has become more d.iff:i.cult. at1d the work of administration more caxe.c'fiing, This is esp&c ·Lally t:c·U.o as regaro.s ppplicati9ns for cadets to be 2bS~ht from dutyd Tho trouble doos not lie
altogether with · ti;i~ ~adets 1 but thD rospcinsibility mu.st be shared by
many parents who db not cq~:tldrate with us in trying to onforcc; tho
regulations of the iilsti tut1dh: Ap:plica~ions for fu.rloughs arc rc.
~uested for the slightost roasons and sohleti~es even upon very doubtful pretexts. A remarkable bond.ition ha$ ari~en in the collegGS generally due to modern rapid highway trarl~port~tion, and that students
aro making a custom of ~et~irlg out at thG week-end ostensibly to hike
to their homesl • sometime::! rrtoro tha.rt a hundred ·miles ~away, - but
with tho expectation of gott ing freo -bi"a.hspo:t:lifation on the way from
o°!jliging motorists. Tp.is practice has m~ny objectionabie featu.res,
and should be str<;>ngly q:i. sct:,uraged not b.i'ily as a bad thing per- SC, .
but also because it is demotali21ing t.o t1ib students and to w" ecfu.cational work of the d~llo~e.
·
If thEJ tiiacipii~e of tho cit~.dol is to be of any ef.~
,,..feet, the granting of fu.rlougli~ ~rid loave~ fuust continue to be limited to cases of necessity. It Wduld probab1y be advisable, however~ to
suspend academic exercises fu1a. gi -ie a gertqfl~l leavo ·of a few days in
the f:1pring to those cadots whoso parents. dq~;t.re them to spend a short
time at home. As our session is now of the mihimum. length for a sta dard college course, and every holiday- flepr~Wbnts a real loss, I
recommend that Memorial Day (May 10th) and thb Friday in May which is ~
usually- assigned to the Cadet Pionic be removed from the list of holi- ?11->/....
days, and that instead a furlough be granted all cadets from 1 P.M.
Thu.rsda;r ,b efore Good Friday until tho following Tuesday morn i,ng,nine
o'cloo.k. .

The prevalent practice of drinking intoxicants, not
uncommon, \lnfortunately, among oven ou.r be st people, has had its effect upon our stu.dent.,.,body, some of whom have been reported. for being under the influence of tnto:xicants and suspended. Tho Board at
�(.
-
:' .,
' ;
a special meeting on March 22nd c onfirmed the suspension of three
of these by dismissal. I have to report two additionql cases since
that time, Cadet Beck, suspended on April 17th and Cadet Stover on
April 23rd~ The Board by resolution barred any appeal in cases of
bhis kind, and I recommend that these cadets be dismissed. I do not
beliave that this ~·ice smong college students c8n be controlled ex-·
Ct:;pt ty stringent enfo:~Gement of the l)enalty of e:xpuls:on ..
The abar..donm.ent of t~18 Honor System !:ly the Gorps
of Cadets might seem to indicate a considsrable set-bnck to disciw
:pline,. Among a numbe:r of irrespon □ ible cadets, the removal of this
vory powerfuJ_ agency i:r: the student-body resnl teG. in some cases of
hazing 9 and also engend.erod a feeljng~ perhaps, among some of tho
lawle:ss eloment that tl-':ey may ~10H be a little bolder in wrong-doing,
but on the whole J I do not believe that the gono:ral sent:Lment of the
corps has been aJ.toredt either towards what is morally right,,. or in
their attitude tow2rd discipline .. Thero may be a certain feeling of
relief from the dira0t responsibility of discipling their fellows, always -a disagreeable duty, - but a very large clement can be depend~
od upon to favor a strict enforcement of regulations by the regularly
c.onsti ttited atithori ties.
In the very seri.ous matter of hazing, I believe that
some decided pronow10ement of the Board is opportune at this time o
At West Point and Annapolis, and in war-time at any
institution which t1:-ajns men for the military · ostablishment, great
stress is laid upon the q_u.alities of virility, endurance, and _
leadership; and a selectiv-e process of weeding out the weak and timid is
considered nocossa:i:'y., We hoar much of 11 he~,men", men of physical
force rather than of moral cour~e and scholarly habits. In peacetimes, however; there a~e some young men who go to college for tho
serious purpose of study, and do not care for tho horse-play. Some
of thos~ have told me that they wotild like to take their college
,c ourse here, but p:referred to go · to a collego where they would not be
subjected to hazing. The State, by appropriate laws,. has approved
the protection of these men in their right to get an education with....
.out molestation 1 and a :pledge should be req_uired of every upper
classman not to eng2,ge in .t ho practice. Sirnh a plea.go is now taken
by every_ new cadet when he matriculates, but to bo · effectivo it
( should be renewed at ti:le beginning _of each sesi:::i0n by all the upper ,
·. c J.assmeno ( I therefore recommend that no cadJt bo given admission to l
the bq,rrac'lcs until he has subscribed each year to the following
pledge: "I,, . {cadet's -name), being fully advised of the regulation
against ha,2ing, hereby promise on my honor. and without any reserva ...,
tton that I wlll not engage in hazing of any kind a.uring my connect:Ii.on with the Ci t'adel., Tl

Tho Commnndont renews his recommendation m2do last /
year that cadets bo :pormittOd to smoko ih bnrr:::wks. ·While personally
I should liko for tho cadets to refrain from smoking,I su..bmit tho
l
q_uostion to the Board for tho ir judgment. If smoking is pormi ttod,
it would soom best to limit it to barracks while on tho Citadel
grounds, B.nd prohibit it on the public streets ..
RELIGIOUS EXERCISES.
During the vast sossion, wookly religious services
h.eve been hold on Sund2.y morning :i.n Alumni Hall, use boing made of
tho bleacher-scats which wore installed for the basket~ball games
~nd retained throughout tho session. Tho construction of an 2uditorium ad.cq_u.ate to accommodate tho on:biro student-body for assomblios
of all kinds is one of the much... needod buildings which vve vainly hoped wo\lld be approved by the le.st General Assembly, and which is a
matter of such lmportance that efforts should be c.o ntinuod for its
accomplishment.
These Sundqy morning services have generally been
con~uctod by tho mlnistors of tho City of tho several denominations
i~otatiori., so that the catlets have had the opportunity of hearing·
not only the ministers of tho:Lr own church but also of all tho · othor
denominations. An item of $500 was allowed in our budget for tho
expenses of these religiou_s servides~ and an honorarium of $15 has
boon sent to each of the ministers who has preached for us.
,
On several odcasib'ns, this Sunday morning hour has
been utilized .for lay addresses, when there was a :particular message
which I wished to have presented 'Ob tht;, dadots. On October 23rd, Dr •.
W.W. Bal 1, editor of the News & Cau.tier; mado an excellent address ·
to the Corps upon Wade Hampton and his services to the State. This
was ~ propo~ of the State-wide movement among the schools and colleges I'or raising funds for the Hampton statute to be . erected in
Memorio.l Hall at Washington, towards which the Cadets made a contrib'q,ti on of one hundred dollars •. Other noteworthy addresses were mqde c;
Dr. w• .Cyril. O'Driscoll, of the Medical College, M:rs. Mary Harris
Armor, a · :prohj_bi tion loctu.rer of interne tiom!l renown, and Dr .Nicol,
of the Salvation Army.
While we have adopted the plan of a goner2l service
at the Citadel because the distance to thci various churches is to6
great to send tho sq_uads of Cadets,. as vras the custom at the old Citf:1"
del, this service is held at an early hour so as not to interfere witb
the regular morning services in the City ch1u~ohes, and the Cadets arp
encouraged to affiliate with the congrege.tions of their choice and
attend ihdividually their own denomina. ional. services~ A considerable
t
number do do,,
.
The report of the Secretary of the Y.M.C·.A., Nir.,
Leland, , shows that the Sunday evening services at the Citadel have
__ 1Haen interesting and well-attended, and tha~ this orga,n:i.zation is

HEALTH,,
Tho report of the Surgeon shows that tho percentage
of illnesses among tho cadets during tho past session has been remarkably small. In particular, it iw worthy of note that contagious
diseases were limited to two cases of mum12s and one of measles. Half
a dozen injuries of a more or less serious kind, incident to football, were treated and fully recovered. Thero were also half a· dozen
surgical operations, mostly appendicitis, but these cases were taken
to the Infirmary in tho City, and made good recoveries. we had two
cases of pneumonia, and four cases of true influenza.
The enlargement of the Hospital to meet the possi~le
needs of the growing stud en t-•body is a matter which should be given
eonsidoration.
During the coming vacation, the inside of the hospital will be given a fresh coat of paint, funds for that purpose having been provided in our last budget.
r'"'
The report of tho inspootion by the State Healt-h
Officer was entirely favorable as to the health conditions on the
campus, and inspections by several mosq_uito experts also indicate
that there are no breeding-places for mosq_uitoes on the Citadel premises.
During the past session, the Citadel sewerage system
was connected up with the Citadel s;srstem just north of the Citadel
grounds, an appropriation of a few hundred dollars having been made
by the Contingent Fund Committee for that purpose.
CADET ACTIVITIES.
The so-called nextra-curricular" activitius of the
modern college cover a wide field. At the Citadel they req_uire the
constant superviLJmD~ attention of ono academic officer, the director
of cadet affairs. He looks after the financial affairs of the Can teen end the cadet publications, supervises all the public social

by Citadel teams 1 - foot-ball, b2sket••b2ll, be.s0,~to..ll , trc,ck~ swimming, tennis, and this year~ fencing,. Of course, the greo.tost of tH
these is foot-ball.
The construe tion by the CitJ,. of Ohnrl es ton of tho
Johnson Hagood Memorial Starl:Lum in :prQximity to the Citadel campus
has been of the greatest se:cviao to us; 2.s :1.is use is practically
confined to the Citadel foot-ball gameso The Director of Cadet Affairs points out that the original plan of the Cit~ in building the
stadium was to utilize it not only for foot-•ball but also for baseball by the City League during the summor .. The desirability of res i
serving the Johnson Hagood Stadium fo:i. fooi:i,~1:311 and :putting the

that an arrangement wr.1,s me.de be~,;ween tr.,e City and tho Citadel Athletic Association whereby a se:pa:r·s.t-J gr·2n.:c~-stand. was erected. at a

SOUT:iERW ASSOC .KA TION;
The Citndel has now been a member of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States for
four years. It is the p:.~ac tice of this Associ.G tion to make a triennial ing_uiry into the work of the memb0r institutions and report
such matters as they deem sub,100t of cr.iticism. The report on the
Citadel received in December lnst states that this institution conforms to the standa:rds of the .Associc1.tion in most essenti.a l :p2rticulars, but that two ~..m:portant c:r:itl.oi,sms m1J.st be mndc: first, as to
the e:xc essi ve m.1m1rn-~' o:C ho1rrs which the modern language professors
teach; and secoml~ the onti::ely inadequate library facilities furnished the studentEJ,..
·
The unex:pe0t8dly :i.arge fi-•eshman cl2ss lo.st· fall
caught us unprepared in -teaching force o At tho last moment, . we engaged Wi.r. E.C. SeJbrook, E graduate of last year, to assist in the
mathematics de:pa1·bment, but 5.'t was not so ea::w to get a French tenet:. ·
er on short notice, and four professors in tho mod~rn language de-
,,--
�partment undertook to take care of the work by assuming extra hours.
We expect to relieve them of thts und.n.e burden by the election of
an additional assistant. As to the library, a remedy is not apparent at the present time. If the plans for the construction of the
main college building had been carried out as we hoped, the opportunity for providing ample library fqci.lities would have occurred.
If these plans should develop in tl~e future~ the conspicious example f
of the University of Virginia and of Columbia University of having
the library as the central feature of t;he college plant could be
admirably carried out at the Citadel.
With the increase in the number of cadets there · is
necessarily a corresponding incr·ease in the size of the faculty ,and
the problem of furnishing quarters to professors is a difficult one,
especially to married men,, We c1.re i11 immediate need of two additional sets of quarters, \11.hich can be arranged. in the Meeting Street Extension of the Old Citadel on the ground. fJ.oor in rooms temporarily
used by the Medical Unit of the Ne.ti0r.al Gue.rd~ Th.ere are nine families now living in the building 1 and while it may occasion the Med.i•
cal Unit some ineomreniem1e to move to other quarters, ou..r need for
.the rooms they occupy is Ul"gent, and, besides, it is in every way
desir.able th.at this building which is already occupied by so many
families be reserved altogether for such pu:-posos.
In this con.rJ.G•}tion I will state that I wrote thEt
Governor in regard to assistance from tho Contingent Func1 for the
purpose of putting in the ne3essary partitions 8.,nd plu.mbing, - for
these quarters, - a favorable bid for this work having been · obtained, but a letter from the Secretary on May 22na. j_nformed me that the
Committee had aeted unfavorably on the applicationo l as.k that the
Board authorize the expenditure of any available Citadel funds for
this purpose. The ·cost should not exce8d $1600.
The faculty recommends to the Board the award of the
degree of Civil Engineer on M~. A.G. Hampton, graduate of the Citadel in the Class of 1921, who has been engaged in ~ngineering work
si.nce that time. His thesjs, vihich has been approved by the engineering department is cntitlod: rrcontrolling Displacement of Concrr-ete
Forms.tr, a study" in connection with the constru.cti.on ·of- 'the lower
Santee highway-·brid.ge. .•
Several of tho graduates of this year will go into
engJ.neering work, Cadets Burnett, Lennon~ and Duke with the State
Highway Department, and Moore with t:1e ccmpa.riy building the Saluda
Dqmo Cadet McCarthy will hold a fellowshtp in physics next year in
the Uniwersity of Indiana~ and Cadet Myers. a fellowship in civil engineering in the Unive~sity of South Carolina~ Nine oth~rs have already accepted positions to teach, thmace will begin with the study
of medicine, and a numbo.r , will accept busi.ness i,ositions. ·

COL . 0 . J . BOND
PRESIDENT
October 16~ 1928 ,
Gentlemen:
The session of 1928-1929 opened on the 22d of
September with an enrolment of 717: distributed among the four
classes as follows:
Seniors,
Juniors,
Sophomores,
Freshmen~
112
117
187
301.
The 229 Juniors and Seniors are distributed among
the electives as follows:
Bachelor of Arts Courses:
English as major,
History as major,
1,1odern Languages as major,
24
25
3 ..
Bachelor of Science courses:
Chemistry~
Civil Engiheering,
Physics,
Business Administration,
37
47
18
75.
If the two upper classes should continue to be
as laTge as -at present, which it is reasonable to expect, the numbers in the several electives will be great enough to keep the _per
capita cost of tuition within reasonable limits, and even to permit
the introduction of another elective course designed to give those
who intend to become tc ~chere at least four courses in subjects bearing upon this vocatione \ I would ask the Bo8rd to authorize a trial
of this course to begin with the junior cl2.ss of 1929-1930. I d.o
not think it will be necessary to elect any additional professors,
as we havG in our faculty teachers who are competent to tako charge
of the couraes we would offer, at least at the beginning.
Tho Board will be interested in the distribution
of · tho- present corps of cadets by States and, in the caso of those
from South Carolina, by Count i es.
The number of students from other States, 26 per
cent, is... unpree-ed.ented; and particularly romarl.able is the number
f-ronrthe state of North Carolina, 68~ Georgia is represented by 51,
and.. the · numb-er ·of' cadets from those two States alone oq_uals the tota J

· ..
Gentlemen:
The session of 1928-1929 opened on the 22d of
September with an enrolment of 717, distributed among the four
classes as follows:
Seniors,
Juniors~
Sophomores,
Freshmen,
112
117
187
301.
The 229 Juniors and Seniors are distribnted among
the electives as follows:
Bachelor of A~ts Courses:
English as major,
History as major,
Modern Languages as .major,
24
25
3 ..
Bachelor of Science courses:
Chemistry~
Civil Engiheering,
Physics,
Business .Administration,
37
47
18
75.
If the tvvo upper cla sees should continue to be
as large as at present, which it is reasonable to expect, the numbers in the several electives will be great enough to keep the per
capita cost of tuition within r0as0nable limits., and even to permit
the introduction of another elective course designed to give those
who intend to become tcachora at least four courses in subjects bearing upon this vocationc I would ask the Board to authorize a trial
of this course to boGin with the junior cl2ss of 1929-1930. I do
not think it will be necessary to elect any additional professors,
as we havo in our faculty teachers who arc competent to taku charge
of the courses we would offer, at least at the beginning.
Tho Board will be interested in tho distribQtion
of ·tho- present corps of cadets by States and, in the case of those
from South Carolina, by Counties.
The numbor of students from other States, 26 per
cent, ;i.s.unpree-ecl.ented; and particularly romar.ltable is tho number

Charleston,s.c, January 22d,I927
A Special meeting of the Board of Visitors was held at the Citadel,this
day at Io o'clock,a.m.
Present,J:r Jno .P. Thomas, Chairman, Col Padgett , Col Hammond, I.Ir Hutchison,
~lestmoreland , Still, Grier, ::ei th,Hope, Gen' 1 Dozier, and President Bond ..
Governor Jno.G.Richards and Hon Spivey,unavoidably absent.
The reading of the unconfirmed !vlinutes were dispenthed with.
The Chairman stated the Board had been called to consider the violation
of paragraph 6o(C) of the Begulations by Cadet G.L.Cain,of the Seniorcl-t,1.S
using intoxicating liquor and being in an intoxicated condition at a
dance held in this City.December 22d,I92@. After investigation of the
ca liRie charge by the Commandant and the President .Cadet Cain.was suspended January 7th 1927. The President then referred the case to the
Board of Visitors,under date January 7th,saying"I regret to have to
r~port the case of Cadet Cain,a member of the Senior Class,who was
intoxicated on December 22,and whom I have suspended today,after an
investigation into the circumstances of the offense. I am sending you
herewith the facts in the case for the consideration of the Board.
I concur in the opinion o~ the Commandant that it is necessary for the
sake of the discipline of the Citadel to visit the punishment of
dismissal on Cadet Cain."
A petition was received from the Senior Class to allow a representative
to appear before the Board in the case of Cadet Cain.
Mr Still,duly seconded moved he be allowed to appear at the proper time.
W.r Hutchison,moved that cadets from the Senior Class.and Commandant
appear before the board as stated in the record and any others Cadet
Cain may desire. adopted.
Col Padgett,out lined the proper proceeding by the Board, we should hear
from Cadet Cain and friends,and I.Ir Grier was requested to ask any
questions the Board may desire. Cadet Cain was heard at length in his
own behalf,he also submitted written statement acknowledging his guilt
and pleading for punishment lighter than dismissal. He further submitted
letter from Cadet Crouch,and names of a number of cadets,that the con uct
of Cadet Cain on'December 22d,I926,had been exaggerated.
In his examinationCadet Cain stated that he carried liquor with him to
the Shrine dance and took one or more drinks,no liquor was in the car
but the small portion he carried. He was accompanied by several Cadets
and a c!-vilion,and he returned to the Citadel about 8 p.m,with Cadet
Crouch and I.Ir Eisemann .. r.:aj Wm . C.Eiller, Commandant ,made the following
written report to the President ."I have investigated this case.It Seems
clear from the Cadet's explanation and from the testimony of witnesses
that the Cadet was actually under the influence of intoxicants.The Cadet,
according to the testimony of witnesses,came back to the Citadelj##f#H#
in an automile from which he had to be helped,and also had to be assisted across the quadrangle and to his room.I personally smelled liquor on
the breath of Cadet Cain. This case is of so clear and unequivocal a
character that I have no hesitation in recommending that the cadet be
dismissed and I do so recommend." The President stated I concur in the
opinion of the Commandant. The Board also beaFd appeals from Cadet
Crouch.Ir H,.Cain father of cadet Cain,. !Jr J.C.Lanham,an tntimate friend
of the family spoke at length with much feeling,also had appeal from the
citizens of Summerton,S.C,and from Cadet Deschamps,of the Senior class.
Upon the conclusion of the hearing,I,':r Hutchison moved the Board confirm
the action of the President and Commandantin the dismissal of Cadet Cain.
�Col Hammond,offered the fQllowing substitute,Resolved,First,That the
recommendation of the Commandant and the President is hereby approved,
and that Cadet Cain be and is hereby dismissed. Resolved,Second That
in consideration of the previous good record of Cadet Cain,he be
allowed to apply for admission to the senior class next year~ adopted.
The original resolution was lost and the substitute adopted.
lr Hutchison voting Aye on the resolution and No on the substitute.
Case of Cadet Lyn, fightin~ Cadet l;owell: The President under date of
January 6th.wrote the Chairman,as follows-I recommend that Cadet Lin,be
dismissed."It is clear from the endorsement of the Commandant that
Cadet Lin is not a desirable student to retain in the Citadel."

1 . The construction of steam lines , sewerlines , mter :;..i:nes , end gas
lines , connecting the new Of!icer' s houses 'Vi th th.e respective systems

It ,;ould seem det,irable thd,t the sewer cLnd steam lines be put in by
the Gal - i van Buildj ng Com,.,..any, and probably the other lines also • ..:unds
for this p,crpose are available in the ..;.~ propriati on bill under the i tern

�The Gray Uniform.
This is the uniform worn by cadets on occasions
when a full dress uniform is required. New cadets
are provided with this uniform in February, and the
first formal appearance of the Corps on the customary
Washington's Birthday Parade is in the gray. About
May 1st, the gray trousers are replaced by white duck.
The gray is the uniform worn by cadets at dress parades, dress reviews, at formal social functions, and
for ''visiting'' in the city on leave, after February 22d.
This is the historic "cadet gray" uniform which has
been associated with The Citadel sin& its beginning in
1842. It is almost identical with the full-dress uniform
of the West Point cadets.

�The Field Uniform
New students are provided with the field uniform on
the day that they matriculate. It is expected that
they will make a deposit of ten dollars with the Quartermaster sometime in advance of the opening day and
fill out a blank measurement card, so that this uniform may be ordered and ready for them upon their
arrival. All cadets appear in uniform at all times.
This uniform is the one worn in barracks, at classes,
at physical exercises, and instructional drill. It consists of woollen 0. D. shirt, with black tie, 0. D.
breeches and puttees, campaign hat and tan shoes.
�The R. 0. T. C. Unif<;>rm.
This is the 0. D. Uniform of the Reserve Officers
Training Corps.
As the military work at The Citadel is required of
all cadets, it is expected that every student will be
enrolled in one of the two units of the Reserve Officers Training Corps maintained in the military college
by the U. S. Government, and upon graduation be
commissioned in the Officers Reserve Corps of the
United States Army. While few of the graduates of
The Citadel take up the profession of arms as a lifework, all of them, no matter in what civil occupations
they engage, are prepared to serve the country as
officers if necessity should arise. The two branches
of the service for which The Citadel cadets a reespecially trained are the Infantry and Coast Artillery Corps_

'Remarks of J.P.Thomas Ghair""an
at the opening of the New ~arracks.
About ten years ago, the Board. of Visitors realizing
that the old. quarters of 'l1he Ci tad.el, on Marion Sq_uare
were inadequate for the proper ex)ansion of the institution, turned theix attentj_on to securing a new site
for a p-reater Citadel.
'11 0 the City of Charleston, we
are indebted. for thiE: present magnificent site.
1\'hile
the State was liberal in providing funds for
our first buildings, the costs were extremely high and.
the fund.s were exhausted. before we had. an ad.equate :plant
for the opera ti on of the School. 'l'he 1:'lant was ·unoccupied
for a year, while we waited.for additional funds •.failing
to get them we decided. to occupy what oui 7-d.ings we had.
al though we were badly handicP,pped., having our hospital
at the old ~lant in the City.
You can well imagine my joy wh en a citizen of Charleston called on me and expressed. a desire to d.o something
for the Citadel in a very substantial way.
A tlo~pital
was suggested and as a result of ~is generosity, we have
the splendid r.[ary Bennett Murray Hospital, second to none
in the State.
A year or two later this same citizen, literally
paved the way to the ureater Gitadel by providing funds
for the Mary Bennett 1v11.1rray Drive-Way in Hampton Park.

Somefui.mg over a year ago the Hoard of Visitors was
confronted. with the task of housing 575 cadets in
3arracks that could accommodate only 420 comfortably. the
Board decided to ask the State for an appropriation for
a new Barracks &l.ilding, but had little or no hope of
getting this appropriation, until this same generous
citizens came forNard and made another magnificent
gift, which when matched. by the ;:;tate has enabled us to
build. the hand.some building which vou now see before you,

On behalf of the 8oard of Viritors, and of the State of

and to assure you that no words of mine are ad.e quate to
express to you our deep a~pre~iation o~ your great generosity to the Ci tad.el. This p,enerosit-y has taken euch enduring form, that not only wi 11 t 11e young men of to day be the

Case Cadet L.J.Hames,Jr: This is a case brought o-ver from the April
meeting as unfinished business. The honor Committee after a full inve&
tigation found this cadet guilty of hazing,the Committee report reads
",le the unclersigned, feel that Rames has been dishonorable in violating
the pledge against hazing~ signed by A.B.Youngblood,President,o.nd C.A.
Des Champs,0ecretary,and five other members of the Honor Committee.
This cadet was asked by the honor Cor.unittee to leave and was marked. on
the records dismissed absent without leave. ·The board. requested. Col
Hammond to ask all questions for them. Cadet Hames was ~uestioned at
great length mainly as to the punishment inflicted on himself.Cadets
Youngblood~Du.valtJohnson,DesChamps and others were examined at length.
Cadet Descnamps read the minutes of the Honor Committee when they liad

To the "B-0.ard o..f Vi,3i.±ors cf The. Citaclel: .
Ge nt l emen :
I have t he honor to pre se ..1t herewith my al,ll.1.ual report of the affairs of the Military College for the session now
closing.
This session opened on September 20, 1926, with an _
enrolment of 5BO cad..ets, of whom 269 were new cadets .. The numbers
in the several cJra.s.ses were as follows:
rl
Seniors; 65,
Juniors, 79,
Sophomores1 156,
.Freshmen, ~80.
,,
These figures mark new high records in all classes.
About 84 per nent of the cadets are from South Carolina, but nineteen other States are represented by the numbers shown below:
Mississippi, 1,

In looking back ovErr tho history of the Ci tad.el since
i.ts _reopening in 1882, it is intcrestong t0 r . ote that the cmss
of 1886, which ,was the first to grudu...1t0 after the War, held the
· record for sizJ~ 53 m0moo·rs";" .untj_l June, 1922, when the last class
to graduate at the 61d Citadel broke the long~standing record by
one. _
that is,. 54 members,.

In the five years at the New Citadel, the numbers of
~-graduates in the successive- classes have been as :f0ll.ows:
1923~ 50 graduates.

But from an cxaminatiorl· of the figures for the
lower cla.ssos now at tho Citade1-•, ·it seems likely that tho numbQr .
of gradua t0s w:i 11 :prog:r.•os.si-volY in~ro:::::.so for several years to come.;
Tho principr:i.:L reason fo,:o tho crowded condition cilf
the colleges gor-.orally 1::3 -~'!.; "-doubted.l;v clue to tho great increase
in tho enrolment in t.11.c h::.,gh s-:-.t,.c,o J_s , :fi, om v1r1ich an increasing
number of grad.u.ates iEibU88 oach year, The gratifying growth of the
cadet corps at tho Citad.o1 is :p:i:obab1.y d.u.o chi o:cly to this .,;,.__"Lv ,
but I believe there aro other ccntrrJutiri..g factors.
The system of discj_plino at tho Citadel 1 which place~
certain restricticns u.:pon the time an.:'.. conduct of our · students
makes an appeal to many parentst who feel dubious about sending
off their sons to colleges where no restraining influences are
placed upon their livos and actions~ For older mon and timivorsity
student □, complete li1'Jerty of action should of course be allowed;
but r, lC.l'(jC percentage of college freshmen of the present day aro
adolescent4 without mature judgment and. developed character, wgo
need guidance in conduct as well as in studies •
. Tho condemnation of hazing in tho regulations of the
Citadel, and tho effective measures takon· to prevent at least the
most objectionable forms of it, havo contributed in my judgment in
a considorable degree to tho increase in tho size of tho corps.
There are still some people (not parents looking out for a college
for their sons, however) who believe that hazing is a good thing
for new students, if it can be kept in tho bounds of mod.oration.
Just as persons sometimes say that a conflagra.tion is a good thing
for a city in order to destroy tho slums, The trouble is that in
both the case of .hazing and of incondiarism the matter so often
gots beyond all oontrol~
rl
./.

'The definite limit to the increase · in the size of the
Corps depend.s, , of course, upon the housing facilities of the barracks. The most important event of the year, therefore, at the Citadel is undoubtedly the completion and occupation of the Andrew B.

As will be seen, and. was to be expected., 70 per cent
of the casual ties have occurred. in the Freshman Qlass, most of these
being cases where the boy could not stand. the discipline or was d.eficient in academic preparation~ In making an estimate of the number
of old. cadets likely to be ~resent at tho opening of the next session, wo must allow a loss of 62 due to the graduation of the senior
class, and. the possibility of about 60 mbre casualties in the other
classes due to various reasons, making a total loss for the year of
177, ancl leaving a corps of about 400 old cadets.
Applications for ad.mission of new cadets are being received every day, and already rese~vations have been for 160 recruits,
including 20 nl$w beneficiary cr:dets o It seems likely therefore that
tho total. enro.lment next session will exceed 600, and may be as large
as 650. In case these estimates are verified~ it will likely be ne- ·
cessary to engage ad.di tiona l teachers, ana. tho 9luthori ty of the Board

The duty of looki.ng into .this

Military Department.
The military department of the Citadel during the past
yearhas been in charge of M:ajor Wm. C. Millor, U.S.A., whose ad.ministration of · the manifold. duties of the combined offices of rrofessor
of 1\/I ilitary Science and Tactics and Commandant of Cadets has been in
every way satisfactory. · He has shown good. judgment, d.ecision, and tire,..
less industry in tho ad.ministration of dutir:?s which req_uire not only
those q_ualities but also tact and infinite patience.
The Citadel was officially visited last Fall by Colonel
F. W. Rowell of the Fourth Corps Area Hcadq_u.arters ~ and was inspected
for rating among "Distinguished. Jv
iili tary Colleges 1 on March 24-25
t his Spring by Lieut.-Colonel w.s. Bowen and Captain Leonard V. Gallagher, of the Genera l Staff. Ho information has yet -been received
as to the result of this inspection, but Major M
iller thinks it probable that the Ci tad.el will again appear this year on the list.
Among tho events of intc1"e st in the military department
iuring the present session was the meeting of the Association of Military Colleges held at the Citadel on April 2d. This Association com~
9rises the seventeen colleges and universities in the eight Southern

it hacl been proposed. to hold the encampment, will be purchased by the· ·

In tho change cf the fatigue ~~iform from olive drab
to cad.et grey, 'Which was approved. by the 3oc:rd at its last special
meeting; the Command.ant has worked out a tentative plan whereby this
can be done as expeditiously as possible without, making the old.er
cadets who have sergiceable O.. D9 uniforms incur two great expense.
There will necessarily be some lack of uniformity d.lll~ing the transi-,
tion period., but with the one instruction to get the Corps into gray
as soon as can be done economically and. conveniently, I recommend. that
, the Command.an-t; be left to devise the best plan to carry out this :purpose.

Major IAiller,having received. orders to report to Camp
TicClellan for du.ty in connection with the summer camp to be held
there, has had. to loave in order to take u:p those duties. At my reo~uo st, he has :prepared. a report, :particularly with reference to his
clutios at the Citad.el as Command.ant, and I am attaching this report
as an append.ix to my own, and. invite the attention of the Board. to it.
I am very much disposed to defer to his judgment in al1
, matters pertaining to his department, where he has a knowledge of conditiorts from a personal contact which no one else can possibly have~
It is, therefore, only after thoughtful con4iieration that I do not
concur in his recommendation to permit smoking by cadets in barracks.
Not that I thinlc any moraJ. g_uestion whatev-e:c is involved in the use
of tobacco. I believe, however, tb.at ther,:; c.re considerations of
health, expense, and the formation of useless i~ not actually injurious habits which make it '.ldvisable to prevent cadets from using tobacco as far as possible, o spec iall:r w:1.ile they aro in the growing and.
still ±rhmo.. turo ·.c-.c;e o '.:.:hat it is going to b(:l increasingly difficult to
d.o this in view of' the f .'lct that ('~ :Lgo.::e t cr>•2mo.k ing is now indulged. in
by all ages and. both sexes is :probably tr-:rn"
Oi1e good feature of
the rrtraining" which members of the athle-;;j_c teams undergo, is their
voluntary abstention from smoking; and as Y!omen have now so generally
invaded what was formerly considered. the , m:J.sculino domain of smoking,.
perhaps our boys might be induced. to give up cigarettes as ntoo efftminate."

The customarypsalute rms given the Board by the .trtillery squad. and a
review of the Corps by the Board \'JaS a very pleasant feature. The Corps
made a fine appearance and created a good impression in view of the short
time the Cadets had been in barracks . The Board inspected the 1:urray
barracks and. the enlarged ~.ess Hall, which occupies perhaps the entire
length of the Barracks building, a,nd. they were much pleased with the
general conditions for the care of the Cadets.
The Corps was granted leave in consequence of the Board meeting . The
0enior class was granted authority to visit the state ~air at Columbia.
The ti.nut es of the meeting June 6th, 1'927, \rere read and no objection being
noted,were confirmed.
' .
ttention was called to a very coP1plimentary notice cor:ied from a recent
article in a Savan11ah pa.J?er cor::.r,1enting on the fine appearance of the
Cadets on their recent trip to play foot ball at the new Jtadium savannah,
and the 1-resid.ent was requested to issue an order commending the Corps
and also write Col Grayson,the author of the article and send him a copy
of the order. adopted..
Charleston,s.c, October I9th,I927.
~1:5u.l
The Board of Visitors has received with great satisfaction
the favorable reports from Camp :.. cClellan-.: and Fort Muol trie of the work
of the Cadets of the Citadel . .{.0.T.C.units which were in attendance there
during the suEuner.
~t these camps,\·1here students from many institutions are
assembled,and where a strict observation is made of the conduct of the
students,the Cadets have an unusual opportunity of reflecting credit and
distinction upon their college. That the Citadel Cadets,by their attenti<n
to duty and their deportment maintained the high traditions of their
institution is a matter of pride to the Board.
The letter from Col Grayson, of ,:iavannah, ,.rho wrote in such
high :praise of the conduct of the Cadets at the recent foot-ball game in
that City is another instance which the Board notices with approval, and
ii;; desires to express in published orders its cornnendation of these
examples of the soldierly and gentlemanly bearing of the Cadets,-~fnduct
\Ihich is to be expected of them.a£ couFse,but none the less prais,vorthy
on that account.
By order of the Board ,

1:y dear Col. Grayson:
, The Board of Visitors of the Ci tad.el were in aimual session
here on day before yesterd.ay,and during their deliberations had occasion
to refer to the very complimentary letter which you wrote about the
cadets at the 1..ercer-Citadel game in your city a few weeks ago. The Board
greatly appreciates the praise •;1hich you gave our boys, and are proud
that their conduct deserved the notice and commendation of yourself and
'7L/ I,
�others while they were in your City. In an institution like the Citadel,
where the u.nifor. immediately advertises it for good or for _ adverse
report.it is particularly gratifying when the conduct of the students
wins applause. Please accept the thanl:s of the Board for your kind
thoughts and for your much-appreciated letter .
Sincerely yours,
O. J.Bond , President.

Tl1e cu1"'rent session opened on SeiJter,1ber 20th with an
enrolmei1t of 720 Caclets distrioutecl among t:rn classes as follows:.

__;)
These figures for each of the classes are the largest __
t:rnt we have ever had at the Citadel.') The class which graduated last
, June numbered 62 mem, and this is the record for size. As the casualties in tt1e tvvo upper c lasses ai"e usually small, we irnve t~1.e _
' prospect or abo~t 80 Graduates this year, . and probably over a hUn- '
dred next year. l With barracks accommodations ' limited to 720, !t ·
becomes necessary for us at this time to consider the probable size
' pf the Corps at the end of the present year so that We may know
'What will be the necessary limit to be placed on t}:i.e numbe1" of new
cadets to be admitted next session.
.
Allowinc for the graduating class, a~d a loss in the
Ju,111or, $ophomore 1 and Freshman Classes o:t' $%, ·20Cjo and 30% respectively, the size of ,the corps at the end. of t - e ye-a:r would be about
h
490, 'allowing for a tresb.t.1an class next year of 260. · If the casualties in t~1.o Freshman Class should be somewhat greater, the limit
of the FrElshman ClAss would be raised ..
It would seem to be reasonable to expect that the numbers in the rosJcctive classes at the end of the year would not fall
below tl1e . fc;>llowing figm"es:
Juniors.

\ Citadel Board Met Yesterday-Cadets Will Have
Easter Holidays
'
I
A decision to advertise for pro' posals on the new $300,000 bar- .
racks for the Citadel was made at
a meeting of the board of visitors :
yesterday morning. The board will '
consider such proposals as are submitted at a meeting to be held :
April 6. It is thought to be prob- ·
able that a final decision 1s to be .
made at that time since it will be i
necessary to start work on the !
buildmg as soon as possible in or- ,
der that it will be ready for the :
school term in the fall.
The board also decided that the
cadets will be given Easter holidays, which will begin March 31,
and continue until April 7.
This
is the first year that the cadets
have been given such a long furlough at this tiine of the year.
While no definite announcement
has yet l)een ...made It is thoug·ht
that the
new oarracks· will oa
\ bujJt on the northern side 0r the
present bt:ilding.
A covered pasi sa·ge wi!J connect the two. It Wlll
I probably be necessary to have a
lness hall in each bu .i lding since the i,
hall now is too small for the two. ,

Messrs. John P. Thomas, '-..

The Chairman in calling the .e ting to order made the following staterr.ent
in ref rence to a. rece t vi ·tad interview with th ~onorof the gift
to build the Barracks,and also the following letter he had written to
, r A.3 •. urray, with reference to bile payment of his dona ti on.
l,,51")
May 3lst-1926 .
Immediately after the meeting of the Board of Visitors
on the 5th, at which time the contract for the Barracks Building was let to the Gal "!_i van Building Company, on the 6th inst.,
I called on the DoZ1or ofe;~}~O,OOOoOO, and explainedto him
that the Barrakcs Building
nad been let and that the cost
would be considerably les(than $300,000.00 and asked him if he
would be willing to contribute the unexpended portion of his
gift toward the construction of an Officers' Barracks.
He
very graciously consented to do this, provided, that the State
would also consent to the use of the balance of its funds for
the same purpose.
At that t:ire, I asked the Donor if he would put his donation up in such shape as to enable the Bank to certify that
the funds were to the credit of the Citadel, so that I could
certi_fy to the Comptroller General that his donation had been
turned over to the Ci tad.el and thus secure the appropriation
~rom the State that the Attorney General had ruled could not
be secured ohherwise.
I left him under the impression that he would arrange t h e
deposit under a Trust Agreement and when Mr. Rhett, President
of the Peoples First National Bank called me the next day on
the telep,hone stating that the Donor had taken the matter up
with him, I thought he was arranging the Trust Agree~emt. However
the Donor called on me shortly after his conference with Mr.
Rhett, and showed me a pencil copy of his letter dated that day,
the 7th, and which was later delivered to me on the 12th.
He stated that the letter was the basis on which he woulQ
arrange the donation and. I expected him to go back to Mr. Rhett
and arrange the Trust Agreement.
On the 8th, I called on Mr. Rhett to see if this had
been done, and found that Mr. Rhett had left the City for some
ten days and. concluded it would be necessary to await his retum.
On the 10th I received the contract and submitted it to
Senator Arthur R.Young, who hai kindly consented to assist me in
any way possible.
At that time, I took the occas:_on to acquaint
Mr. Young of the attitude of the Donor and requested his assistance in getting the whole matter in such shale as to enable me to
secure the State's appropriation.
From this time on Mr. Young
hai been advising me and I would. be glad to have him state to
you just what we have endeavored to do, or any other statement
he may wish to make.

I hnve the onor to subrrll~-c· uB~ J..ti'l:i.."bw:;" v'tlt~ ~
/J..,nn.u.nl report
of the nffnirs of the Militnry College for the session now ending.
The enrolment for the yenr wns 438, much the lnrgest
3nrolment in the history of the institution. During the Fnll of
1918, when we were in the full prepnrntion of wnr times, the
J. A. ~. C. nt the Old Citndel hnd a totnl enrolment for the yenr
of 350, but immedintely after the Armistice, steps were taken to
muster out these student soldiers, and mnny of the freshmen, who had
entered the s. A. T. c. solely for the militnry tnlining, resigned;
so thnt the enrolment of 350 was really fictitious, the nctunl nccommodntions not being sufficient for n corp~ of thnt size. The enrolment of 317 in 1923 o.t the New Citndel is the lnrgest number of
cndets regulnrly enrolled for the college courses, up to the present
yenr.
The normnl nccommodotions of the B~rrncks Building at
the New Citndel being only 416, some crowding wos necessary to
provide for the 438 cadets who reported on Sept. 20th, 1925, but
this congestion hns been r0lievod by the inovitnble cnsunlties which
hnve occurred during the session. Thoso lossee nre ns follows:
HonornblN dischnrged, 3; resigned, 16; dropped, 4; dismissed, 6;
totnl, 29; lenving the 409 present at the end of the session.
The distribution of the enrolment ~ccording to clnsses
j_s ns follows: Seniors, 50; Juniors, 70; so·,?:iomores, 92; freshmen, 226. Allowing for the 49 grnduntes, nnd probnble further
cnsunlties of thirty, will lenve about 330 oli ondets who ought to
be on the roll next year. As the number of rcservntions nlrendy
rnnde for new cndets noxt session nmo1u1ts to 1~7 5, 11nd will undoubtedly be much increased, the probnbili ty seems to b~ thnt the enrolment
for next session will bent lenst 550, nnd may r9nch 600.
It cnn rendily be seen, ther0fo:,e, how imperntive is
the need for the new bnrrncks building, whicl we ann nlmost believe
hns been providentinlly provided,
Last Foll, when the Bonrd mat to prep~re the budget for
presentntion to the Legislnture, no on~ hnd any intimation of th0
good furtune in store, nnd nn i tern of ~noo .. 000 wns inserted in the
budget to provide the minimum nccommodntions for the new cndots with
the hope thnt tho Gonornl Assembly would npprecinte our urgent ne e ds
nnd npproprinte at lenst thnt amount. No items for equipment or for
{ '13
/
�~
2
othor incidontf.ll purposes 1,,vere put in the budget. But the construe••
tion of the now bnrrncks building in its unexpected completcmess now
-requires us to give considerotion to its proper furnishing nnd to
o-chor needs. Tho onlnrgomont of tho Mess Hnll immedintely becomes
~ecessnry. 1he kitchen, lnundry, nnd hospitnl should nlso bo enl ~~god in order to provide for the prospective great increnso in the
s~z e of tho corps.
A list of these items hos beon prepnred by the
1unrt0rmnster, nnd nlso 11 stf.ltemont ns to the funds which will be
a.vnilnble for improvements during the summer.
Next Fnll, we shnll hnve some odd.itionnl funds from
tuition fees which mny be expond od for buildings, nn Act hnving
boon pnssed by tho lnst Legislnture permitting us to rotnin these
' f eo s thr thnt purpose. But this c1oes not relieve our immcdinte
1 wnnts.
It may be thn t the Bon rd will consider it v·ise to include
some of the building-enlnrgement progrnm in the $300 .000 funcl,
which mo1~e thnn covers the cost of the new bnrrncks. If the nction
is tnkon, the funds which the QunrtermD:::ter vlill hnve nvnilnble mny
tnke ·cnro of the immedinte needs in equipmont.

The probable incrense in the corps being foteseen
lnst summer, provision wns mnd.e in the budget for the election of
several ndclitionnl assistants. It is possible thnt our enrolment
may exceed tho estimotes we mncle at thnt time ( v
;hich now seems
more thnn likely) in which cnse it will be necessnry to obtnin ndclitionnl tenchers. I would recommend thnt the Chnirmnn of the
Bonrd be nuthorized to npprove such ndditionnl nppointments if
they be found necessnry.
The incrensing size of the cndet corps will hnve the
clesirnble resu.l t of ennbling us to proceed with the neer'lful expnnsion of our courses upon n more economicnl bnsis. For mnny yenrs
we have been strugling ~ith the problem of rnising our requirements for ndmission to those of n standard college, so thnt the
c1ipL,mn nncl cl.egrees given by the Ci tndel might be recognized. In
1912, I reported to the Bonrd that the Citndel wns living strictly
up to the requirements of ten high school u..nits, which WD.S the
�minimum stnn~nrd of the Association of Colleges of South Cnrolinn
i'i.s the high schools of the Stnto grew nnd were
te veloped, thi s standard wns rnised to eleven, then twelve nnd then
'~
;o f ourteen, nnc three years ngo to fifteen uni t-s, and the coml
? leti on of n four yenr high school course, which are the necessnry
.re quirements for membership in the Southern .Association. This has
~G en made possible only by the great advance which hns been made in
-;: he high schools of the Stnte.
. r:i.t thnt time.
With tho attainment of this object now accomplished,
the next serious c onsideration is the d~~~lopment of the departments.
rhe f ormer plan ~hich prevailed nt the Cita del of a fixed course f or
nll students for four years has gradually been modified to meot
chnnging educntionnl opinion. At first, we permitted electives only
in the senior year. Now we permit cadets nt the end of the sophomo re yenr to elect courses for the next tvo years. Probably, in
t i~e, it mny be advisable to extend the elective system to the
s ophomore clnss, but it does not seem to be feasible now. The
required studi0s in the freshmnn nnd sophomore cl1:1sses nre selecte c
l
to c over n f0unc.ntion in mnthemntics, English, history, science 9 nnd
lrmgunges, upon .vhich the electives of the two higher clnsses cr.m be
properly based. There is no doubt thnt the genernl elective system
p hich has been introduced in so mnny colleges has led to mnny 1.Ln~ ntisfnctory results. which they now see nnd deplore, and I believe
thnt we have ~one wisely in going slowly nlong the rond of the
elective systom.
1
.
President Butler, of Columbia University, in one of
his reports makes this statement:
"A most unhappy result of the elective system introduced a
genernti on ago, nnd one that was not f oreseen, was the destruction
of thnt c ommon body of knowleclge which held educnted men together
in unc
lerxtnnding nnd sympathy. For more thnn a thousand. yenrs
e ducnted men hnd pursued pretty much the snme studies, hncl rend
p retty much the snme books, nnd hnd gnined n common stock of inforinn tion concerning mnn and nnture. · The elective system first
wcmkene d nnd then destroyed the c ommon bo dy of knowledge II nnd ns n
result brought in its trnin intellectunl, socinl, nnd politicnl
co nsequences that nre nothing less than grievous. 11
Dr. Butler does not now advocnte the nbolition of the
• l e ctive system, for further on he snys: "It was nmnifestly imposj
sible and undesirnule for rnnny rensons t o reinstate the old program
of college studies. Th0 world had outgrown it; but the world had
no t outgrov:n, and will never outgrow, the p rinciples upon which that
::-1 roscribed course of
stucly wns based."

With the smnll numbers in four of the selective courses~
cnpi ta cost of tuition is necessarily high; nnd the incrensing
the student body is the hope thnt we hnve for effecting n rein cost. The following table wns recently compiled nt the

to the State of ~333.
With n cndet corps this yenr of 438, the por

go ahend with the pro, sr work of the colicge nnd let the weaklings

nre trying to give the earnest students the opportunity nnc1 tho instruction they hnve n right to expect, nnd also to help n_long,
inspire, nnd exhort the wenk nnd incliff0rent.
OnQ wny in which the scholastic work at the Citadel
can be helped is the abolition of some of the holidays, which nlwnys
entail n loss of time ancl <'lisrupt the orrlerly course of the stuc
lies.
The time nov: given to scholnstic vrnrk is p robnbly below the minimun
prescribed f0r n stnn~nrA college. W
hen the Citadel wns reopen e d in
1882, the session rrm for ten mc,nths, _with one interruption of two
weeks nt Christmas. It opened on October 1st, nnd closed nt the end
of July, covering n p eriod of 41 weeks. Such B session nowndnys is unheard of, 35 weeks being nbout the moximum, o.nd this being reduced
by holic'lnys nnd the syiring encnmpment to 34 or less .•
It is not desirnble to continue our session through
the hot months of June r:mcl July; nor would it be well to open mirnh
before the midclle of September. I v.T
ould recommend that the open~ng
dny this yenr be fixed f or Saturday, Sept. 18th, nnd thnt the
h oliday prescribed for Armistice day be transferred to the dnte of '
the foot-ball gnme between the Citadel nnd Carolina at Orangeburg,

college by the athletic act:i v:i ties~ ·_ n question which has . been the

has carefully considered the rules and approved them with the exception of a modificntion of Rule 2, for which they would substitute,

I hnve no doutt tbnt the Ci tndcl~__rotnins its high rr.:nk BS 11

(
It is aesirable to hnve the spring rifle practice

I do not feel warranted in recommending. There seems to be some
likelihood of the rifle rnnge being improved, in which cnse it will
be possible to do the work we wish in one week's time, nnd I recommend thnt an encampment of one week be authorized for next yenr 9
some time in the Spring.

The P. M. S. & T ~ recommends t:1e ndoption by the Corps
of the roll-collar Army blouse, 2nd nlco that the use of boots be discontinued. The change in the blouse new in uso cnn be made nt small
expense nnd I concur in his recomm.Jnclntion tbrit the chnnge be made to
conform to the Army regulation,
He nlso recommended that the red
sash. plumB, liberty belt. sn ber nnd s:.iber sling be issued by the
Citndel as equipment. This would require n considurable outlay by
the Quartermaster, nnd it seems to me suffic:lil.ent to keep in stock
only enough equipment to supply the needs of those who may not be
disposed or able to buy their own outfit.

The Commandant also suggests that smoking by cnd.ets
be permitted in bnrrncks. I am not disposed to concur in this recommendation. There will nlwnys be smoking, of course, but the prohibition of it nets ns n deterrent from excessive nnd genernl smok:i.ng6

The grentest of student activities in nll modern colleges is unquestionably ntheetics. That too grent public attention
is given to this feature of college life, and that scholastic work of
the colleges has been in many cases ndversley affected by college
sports is generally believed. And yet -'chere seems to be no immedinte
prospect of being nble to do more than keep them within rensonuble
bounds .. When subordinated to the scholastic work, nnd properly regulated, athletics hnve n certain value. It is because they are so
often cnrried to excess, and so unduly mngnified in importance, that
restrictions must be placed upon them. It is grntifying to note thnt
the Citadel hns been fnirly successful in its college contests, nnd
thnt the finnncinl condition of the nth~etic nctivities is s~tisfnctory.

�MEMORANDUM FOR THE F.ACULTY.
At the meeting of the Board of Visitors in Columbia,
June 18th, when the election of officers for the ensuing year
camo up, the Board wont into a consideration at length o:f the
statistics regarding tho large number of cadets who failed to
make thG roquirod average of 70 in several departments,
While no formal statement of tho final opinion arrived
et was prepared, I believe it can be approximately stated in tho
following paragraphs.
1. If the numbo:r of fniluros in classes s_
hould reach
such figures as 40, 50, and 60 per cent, it is evident that the
college could not be conducted for lack of students.
2. In some deportments, the percentage of failures has
exceeded even those figures in some instances; and if Gll tho
professors marked with this dogroe of strictness, the casualties
would be beyond precedent or reason.
3. It is evident, therefore, that where ono or more
deportments have a system of grading which is too ar~stict the other
departments have to bear the burden •of "pulling the students
through". This is not fair or sound, as no aepartments should be
privileged at the expense of the others.
4. , The Bonrd docs not lay too groat stress upon the final
appraisement of a cadet's~ work by an arithmetical grade. Morks
are necessary, ana · indicate approximately what a cadet does, but
they should not be so rigidly adhered to that they become the
ma ste:r rather than the servant O the teacher.
·f
5. It is the business of the heads of the departments to
see that the instruction given shall ake proper allowance for the
present imperfect preparation of stu nts in the high sqhools, and
try to enforce higher requirements only as. the cona i tions in those
schools are improvea.
6. The stonclard of excellence of a college is properly
judged by its best output, and not by the number of students dis-missed for deficiency. Anc1 the Board is glad to learn that Citadel
graduates are obteining recognition from other institutions for the
quality o~ the training which they have received at the Ci~adel.
7. The Board expects that all professors and sssistants
shall not only be scholars and efficier.t ·t;e8chers, but also that
they will exercise every possible influence over tho cadets by
insistence on work, by exhortation and sy1~1pathetic encouragement,
ana by their own untiring efforts to ;improve the work in their
departments.

ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF VISITORS OF THE CITADEL, JUNE
18, 1926
ilmbereas Mr. Andrew B. Murray, of Charleston, S. C., perceiving at the beginning of the
present year the urgent need of The Citadel for an additional barracks building to provide
for the rapid growth of the student-body, offered the Board of Visitors the splendid gift of
One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars, provided the State would match his munificent

Ulbereas The work on this important and notable addition to the plant of The Greater
Citadel is now in progress; Now, therefore, be it
l\esolbcb, That the Board of Visitors of the Citadel hereby express to Mr. Andrew B.

I wish to express
my
sincere and deep appreciation of the uniform consid-

my
unwavering attachment to the best interest always of
our Alma Mater."
Very s incerely and respectfully

CowaCoward,Ex-Superintendent: Upon motion of Col Hammond,the following
testimonial of the Board of Visitors was unanimously adopted,and it was
further ordered that a blank page in the Minute book be dedicated to his
memory,a copy to be sent to Mrs Coward(to be personally delivered by Mr
A.E.Hutchinson).also copies to the papers at Orangeburg,Rock Hill and
Yorl?"!S=il5ia, and be put in the next Annual, with a picture of Col Coward and
a short sketch of his life. Expense to be paid by the board. This was the
report of the committee of Vice-Chairman Thomas and Col Bond,appointed at
the last meeting on April 29th,to draw up resolutions on the death of
Col Coward" On April 28,1925,there "passed over the river"a brave and distinguished
Confederate soldier,a great educator,and a Christian gentleman whom all
the State honored and loved.
Col.Asbury Coward died on that date at the home of his daughter in Rock
Hill,
\
�6
and on the 30th of April was buried in his family lot in the cemetery at
his old home in York.
The Citade1J1.s called on to mourn the death of Col.Coward in a particular
way~since so much of his long life of four-score and ten years was identifiedwith it. It is a far look into the past to Jan.Ist,I85I,when Asbury
•
Coward entered the Citadel as a lad of sixteen.Even then as a student here
early recognition was made of his character and talents. One strong frienship,which had a marked effect on his afterlife,was made inside the Citadel
walls;-Micah Jenkins and Asbury Coward were two names linked together as
cadets,then after their graduation as co-founders of the Kings Mountain
Military Academy at York,and finally on the sanguinary fields of Virginia
where the gallant Jenkins finally laiddown his life for his country,and
where Col.Coward himself was several times wounded.
When,in I89o,there was a vacancy in the superintendency of the Citadel,
the eyes of the Board turned naturally to Col.Coward. He came with the
prestige of a brave soldier and a noteworthy educator,having served as
State Superintendent of Education in the days when the foundations of our
educational system were being laid. For eighteen years he presided over
the affairs of his Alma Mater with ability and filiel care,e.nd when he retired in 1908,he left crowned not only with years of devoted service,but
with the regard and affection of thousands of young men who had come under
the influence of his high character.
He has gone to his reward,but his memory will a1ways be preserved and
cherished within the walls of the Citadel,and the Board of Visitors esires
to place on record its testimony to his sterling worth and the loyal servic
he rendered his Alma Mater.

•
The Board met in the Chapel about Io.3o a~m,after having reviewed the
Corps of Cadets on the :parade ~ound in connection with the celebration of
"Home Coming Day"
Present Lr Thomas,Chairman,Col Padgett , Col Hammond , Llessrs /estmoreland,
Hut·ehison,and Still,8-en'l Craig and Lr •. auldin.
The Senior class was called,and assembled in the Chapel.1~ Thomas stated
to the class briefly that the Board has heard the Committee from the class
on the previous day and that the class had been assembled in order that
they might recede from the position they had taken in asking for the resignation of the Commandant ,if they desired to do so . He told theru that
their~ons had been directly in violation of their matriculation pledge
wtic~reau to them,and also of Par 60-m of the .{egulations, vhich Nas also
read. Cadet 1,ajor .fright on the part of the Senior cl~ss 6tated that the
clasf:i had not intended to be Bolchevistic ,and that the members of the
Class were not against constituted authority,but rather that they were
actuated by a desire to help. At the suggestion of the Chairman,the Senior
class with drew to an adjoining ~PP~ class room for consultation,and in
a few minutes returned,when the President of the class,Cadet Caldwell,
stated that the class wished to apologize for its action in requesting the
- resignation of the Commandant,and withdraw entirely from the position f?
which it had taken.
The Chairman then asked if the class intended to
support loyally the constituted authorities hereafter. Cadet Caldwell
replied that the class had not taken action on this question ,but,in compliance with suggestions from several members that the class take action
without leaving the room again,he put the question asked by the Chairman,
and by a rising vote,which was unanimous,the class agreed to support the
constituted authorities hereafter.
Col adgett,then addressed the class.He first wished to know if the Senior
class endo.r sed the article in a recent issue of"The Bull Dog"enti tled
"Democracy or Autocracy"? Cad~t Chadbourn,editor of the Bull Dog,took
resJ>onsibility for the articlet,vhich he said he was the author,but that it
was not his intention to advocate disobedience to authority.
Col ~adgett laid particular stress on the evil of irresponsible man mass
action.and said that such combinations as that entered into by the Senior
class would not be tolerated at the Citadel. He pointed out forcibly that
the Board of Visitors is the source of authority at the Citadel,and not
the Cadets.
!v r .?estmoreland also sr,oke to the class of the false idea they
had of loyalty to class rather than loyalty to the Eitadel.
Ix till also spoke briefly to the class,laying strees upon the
fact that the Seniors in particular ought to have known and respected the
regulations above any other claes.
![r Thol!las concluded ·with some remarks,and then excused the class.
The Board then considered what action should be taken,and after some
discussion the following motion was made by Uol Padgett,and adopte4.
11
That the matter be referred back to the proper authorities forpction"
The auestion was brought up as to what action should be taken on
the reauests ·submitted by the Committee of the Senior Class the day before :
it was resolved that they · be disapproved.

There will be fourteen vacancies among the 68 Sate
scholarships which will be filled by competitive examinations on July.11th,
as follows: Allendale, Anderson, Beaufort, Calhoun, Dorchester, Greenwood.
Lee, McCormick, Pickens, Sa1uda, Spartanbu.'.!'g, (2), Union, and York. There
will be one vacancy in each of these counties except Spartanburg, where
there are two.
In regard to the standard of scholarship at the Citadel,
it is gratifying to be able to state that after years of anxious waiting
the growth of the high-school system of the State has at last reached a
condition where the colleges can require a four-year preparatory course
, for admission to the freshman class. In consequence of this im;provement,
the Citadel is this year making application for admission to the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States, a very
important step in the scholastic development of the institution. fuile

sehools. This has not been pecu1iar to the Citadel, for all the colleges
of the State have suffered from the back.ward condition of our secondary
school system. The great improvement in the public schools of the State
in the past few years has reen a notable achievement, and this year
there will qrdly be a boy or girl ih the State who will not have access
to a four-year high school giving fifteen units.
In 1915, applicants were admitted to college freshman
classes. in South Carolina on ten units. In l.916, a minimum of twelve was.
required, which in 1920 was raised to fourteen, With two conditions. The
next year the requirements were advanced to 16, with two conditions. With
the present session the Citadel is requiring a four-year high school
course, covering at least fifteen units, and with no conditions. Where
candidates have been unable to present certificates from accredited
high schools covering these requirements, an examination has been offered,
but only in one or two cases has admission been made by this method.
In 1915, the average age of the Freshman on the opening
day was 17 years 3t months. Two years later it had risen to 17 years,
9 months. The average age of the 113 matriculates of the present session
on the opening day was 18 years, l month, 18 days. It may be interesting
to note that the average weight of the freshman in 1915 was 128 pounds,
and in 1923, 131 pounds.
Actio~ by the Southern Association on the application of
the Citadel for admission will be taken sometime during this year. If
this action is favorable, as we have every reason to expect. our institution will then receive the recognition for its diploma and degree which
is so important to our graduates. During this year, the University of
Pennsylvania and Pu.rdue University have for the first time recognized
the bachelor's degree of the Citadel.ihe University of North Carolina
has for the last three years given us substantial recognition by awarding
graduate fellowships in engineering to two of our graduates of 1922,
one of 1923, and tine.more this year. The University of Virginia has also
this year accepted our degree for admission to its graduate schools. Mos~
of the large universities, howevef, will not accept our degree until it
has been validated by our acceptance into the Southern Association;
hence the importance of getting admission to this association as soon as
, possible. We hope and expect this to be done at the next meeting about
December 1st.

The military department, which is under the direction of
five u.s. Army officers, continues to maintain its high standard of excellence. Practically all of the cadets are enrolled in the Reserve
Officers Training Corps, and thirty-six of the forty graduates of this
year will be commissioned in the Officers Reserve Corps. The following
official visits of inspectio~.i. have been made during the past winter and
spring: Colonel M.N. Falls, of the Fourth Corps Area Headquarters, in•
spected the Citadel January 11-18. Maj. Edward A. Stockton, representing
the Chief of Coast Artillery-, visited the Citadel on February 23rd; ,;il._a.sfl,;u,..1
Major-General El.i A. Helmick,
the Inspector-General ·
~ in- speoted the cadet corps, buildings, grounds, and equipment on .April 4th;
and the War Department Board, consisting of Lt. Col. Walter Short, and
lt.iajor Robert c.F. Goetz, made a critical inspection of the military department April l9w23. The result of this final inspection, which is made
to select the "distinguished colleges",will be announced probably about
the middle of this month. Last month,~as part of the Infantry Memorial
Field Day exercises, the cadets entered a competitive .drill with the
Army. Marine Corps. and Porter Cadets, and won a handsome silver trophy.
Major F.A. Capron. of the u.s. Marine Corps, thus expresses his opinion
of the cadets:" I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate you
and that spl8lldid platoon of cadets which so deservingly won the competitive infantry drill. The discipline so efficiently demonstrated on that
occasion is worthy of the highest commendation, and strengthens my belief
that these men are and will e.lways be worthy of the highest place in the
officer personnel of the arms of the United States."
-
In this connection, it is proper to say that the Amy of~
ficers at the Citadel have worked diligently and faithfully to keep the
training of the cadets up to its high standard. and deserve the praise
and thanks of the college authorities.
Among the material benefits which cadets derive from the
R.O.T.c., is a considerable financial remuneration. Besides an allowance
of $72 for uniforms during their cadetship, they receive during the last
two years of their course a per diem commutation of subsistance which
amounts to about a hundred dollars a year.
Owing to the breakdown of the transportation between Charleston and Mt. Pleasant, the usual two weeks encampment at the National
Guard rifle range had to be abandoned this year. It is hoped, however,
that funds will be available for the State civilian rifle teams to attend
the national matches at Camp Perry this summer, and that the Governor and
.Adjutant-General will designate the Citadel ritle team to represent ou
State.
Immediately after commencement, the members of the Junior
class will go to the Goven:unent training camps for six weeks, - those of
I~the Infantry to Camp McClellan, Ala.• and those of the Artillery Unit to
SFort Monroe. There will a.l so be three seniors who applied last year to
~defer their camp instruction to this year, who will also attend. The Board
Sggreed last year to withhold the diplomas of these cadets until this obligation on their part is discharged. These cadets are R.E. Lee. A.J. Wanna!llaker, and c.11. Thacker.

The "School of Commer e" is one of the noteworthy deve1opments
of the modern university curriculum, and various courses are now being
offered to college students who propose to engage in salesmanship, advertizing, accounting, manufacturin, insurance, and othe lines of business.
While the ordinary college cannot hope to prepare students for all specif1 ic position
in commerce and industry, courses can be provided which will
give a general a quaintanc with conomio a£fairs and conditions, and
J.ay a foundation for beginning intelligently the praotica1 work of a
business career.
The required studies of the first two years at the Citadel make
a good foundation for a course in business management, and a poll of the
sophomore class shows that if such a course can be introduced at the beginning of the nex.t session out of the seventy-four members of that class
twenty-six would elect such a course.
The distribution of the fifty-four seniors of next year as
shown by their recent1y expressed choice would be about as follows:
Civil Engineering,
20
Chemistry.
14
English-History,
9
Physics & Elec. Eng'g,

Business Course,

In the junior class. the electives show about as follows:
Civil Engineering,
Chemistry,
English-History,
Physics & Elec. Eng'g,
Business Course.

The proposal to introduce such an elective course in Business
Management is submitted for the approval of the Board. Dr. Glen L. Swiggett,
specialist in Commercial Education in the Bureau of Edu ation at Washington~
has made a study of our courses at the Citadel, and suggests the .following
as a suitable course:

He writes as follows :
_ "Careful study of the suggested subjects will show that the student
should have full opportunity to study the raw and manufatured products
of your section and all the fundamental operations in business , namely,
production, marketing, ban!~ing and transportation Accmunting and law
will give him the necessary technique and lmowledg for the conduct of
busi ss in general as well as of the special types of busines which it
would seem to me you would wish to stress in your school. I would see
that the course in accountancy was well supplied with mechanical_e~ment."
It would be necessary to elect a professor of the department who has been trained in such courses in one of the universities or
Schools of Commerce. The salary of such a professor from September 20th
to the end of the calendar year would be seven or eight hundred dollar,
which would have to be provided for out of the Citadel Pay Fund account,
as no provision is made in the budget for this item. The finances of
the Citadel could meet this demand until the Legislature made provision for the chair in the budget for 1925.
The courses which are given at the present time are outlined on pages 53-56 of the current catalog. Reports .of the professors
of the various departments are hereby appended.
During the past year some note-worthy additions hav been
made to the equipment of the various departments. An engineering laboratory for testing structural materials, concrete and cement, has been installed, and gives opportunity to the students in civil engineering to
learn practically many important details of their profession. In the
physical and electrical laboratories, and in the chemical laboratories,
a large amount of new apparatus and equipment has been installed, and thea
departments can now furnish excellent instruction. Major LeTellier and
uiajor Smith, in their reports of the departments of civil engineering
and physics, recommend that additional courses in their departments b
offered, the necessary time to be obtained by permitting these students
to drop the required courses in the senior class. As the professors in
these departments already have as full a schedule of hour as they can
carry it would be necessary to elect another assistant in eachdof these
departments, which would entail a substantial increase in the budget. It
is, also, a serious question as to how far the elective system should be
carried in college courses. There is much testimony to show that in the
colleges generally it has been rea:ognized that the elective system has bes
been carried to an extreme, and there is a strong feeling towards returning to certain required courses which lie at the basis of any broad education, which it is desirable that every citizen should have.
An abandonment of all required courses in t·he junior and
senior years at the Citadel would certainly be a radical change in the
policy of the institutiono The earnest and careful attentio of the Board
is invited to the arguments of I.Iajor LeTellier along this line.
�'
The Professor of Engineering also requests authority m. to
conduct concrete.,tiests for outside activities, and to make charges for
these tests where~ts no competition for the work. He also request the
authority of the ~oard to conduct a swmner school for local surveyors
at the Citadel next year, after the close of the regular sessio. These
proposals, which look to public service, will probably meat the approval
of the Board, if proper provision is made for safe-guarding the property
of the college.
The rofessor of Physics recommends the election of Mr.
D.F. MoAlister, a graduate of this year's class, as assistant-professor
of physics to succeed Lieut. Eben Taylor, who has resigned to enter the
ministry. I heartily endorse this recommendation.
The Professor of Chemistry recommends that his assistant
be promoted to ssoeiat -Professor. Lieut. At~ins has been assistantpro es or of chemist
for the past two yearsi and his work is highly
commended by th~ head of the department. He has had excellent training.
and is no doubt worthy of p emotion. The Board wi11 consider. however.
that there are assistants also in other departllients who have done satisfacto~- work. and who are deserving of promotion. and wi11 decide whether
en exception will be made. Lieuto Kennedy has been assistant-professor
of English for the past three years, and Lieut. Coleman has been assist~n~
professor of Histor~ for the past two years. The salaries attached to
these positions is $1875 a year.
1.fiss Inez B. Parry, who has been connected with the Citadel
as stenograhper and librarian for the past sixteen years, had a bre·ak-
down in health last winter and is now confined to her home in a precarious condition. The Board approved her application for a sick leave
with pay ($1.00 a month) until April 1st last, and then the Chairman of
the Board approved an extension until June 1st. Mrs. W.G. Gaillard was
engaged temporarily to take charge of the library at a salary of $20 a
week. Her engagement will terminate with the close of the session this
week.
Miss Parry's condition is. I understand, hopeless; but as
to the termination I oamiot, of course say. I would recommend to the
Board the payment to her of half pa ( ,.. 50 a month) for the next three
months.

The report of the Director of C det Affairs covers the wide
field of student activities. This officer, among other duties, is charged
with supervision of all branches of athletics, a department of college ,ork
which has come to be so important that it requires a laEge part of one
en's t·m. One of the difficulties the modern college has to meet is to get
the b nefits to be derived from physical training and college sport without
interfering JZti:i:k too much with the chief end of the colleg • namely) the
cours of studies. Ye have heen fortunate at the Citadel in having es our
coaches men who are in accord and sympathy with this view, and
quote with
satisfaction from the Director's report,
"- articular attention is called to the fact that the academic
work of a cadet-who participates in athletics is carefully safeguarded by
this Department. Every athlete is given an opportunity to make up any work
that is lost because he represents the institu..tion on one or more of the
various teams. This is done by a system of special classes, taught by cadets
who have volunteered their aervioes. It is a remarkable fact that the scholastic standard of The Oita del athletes is in general above that of the
cadets who do not take part in athletics.
t this time it is fitting to call special attention to the
excellent work of Coach Prause and his staff of assistants. The success of
our program has been due in a large measure to his untiring efforts. It is
believed that there is a better feeling in the corps of cade s, in the
faculty, and among the alumni in regard to the athletia situation than ever
before in the history of athletics at The Ci tad.el. 11
Regardless of what may be said of the merits of the case,
theTe is no question that the success of a college in athletic sports is
counted among its chief advertising assets. The public and the alumni take
it for granted that the curriculum os a college is properly taught by the
faculty, and they give their principal enthusiasm to the spectacular contests on the field of sports. This o~eates a proper spirit which, ff confined within proper limits, is worthy of encouragement.
During the coming fall, on the occasion of the football
~e between Furman University and the Citadel which will take place here
::m October 25th, it is proposed to have a great "Home-Coming" of graduates
~nd ex-cadets, and to make a noteworthy celebration in connection with the
~vent. I believe the Boart will be glad to endorse this movement, and perhaps defer its annual budget eating which is due to be held on October
e1st to October 25th so that all the members of the Board can be present
on the occasion.
The financial statement of the athletic department is the
most satisfactory that has e~er beeh made. It shows reoe:pts and disburseents of over ~'1.5,000. In this connection,it is fitting to say that the
Citadel Club of Charleston has always been most active and helpful in furt' erin · ~11 the interests of the Citadel) and its athletics in p~rticu.1ar 0

The Commandant of Cadets recomme ds that a rain-ooat be made
a compulsory part of every cadet's uniform. This need not be an expen ive
articlet and, in view of the distance from the barracks building to the
class-rooms, which in rai
weather subjects them to exposure, seems to
be a wise provision. I, therefore, recommend the Board's approval.
" The records of the military department show that during the
session 1923-24 now closing the members of the Reserve Officers Training
Corps have received the following amounts from the General Government:·
1. Commutation of uniforms for all students
2. Commutation of subsistence, seniors and juniors
$5,108.00
12,999.80
$18,107.80
The report of Dr. R.s. Cathcart, surgeon, shows that the
general health of the cadets during the session has been good. There
were three cases of pneumonia, one of which was serioua, one of renal
-stone, and one of appendicitis. Dr. Cathcart also operated on two cadets
for hernia; and there were three injuries, - one a fractured collar-bone,
a dislocated shoulder, and an injury to a nerve of the shoulder. Contagious diseases have been confined to nine cases of measles and one of
mumps. All new cadets were vaccinated against smallpox, and those cadets
who will attend the Government Camps this summer have recently been inoculated for typhoid fever.
There is great satisfaction in having on the grounds a hospital so well-equipped in every way for all the nee. s of the institution.

know the Board will feel that he should receive adequate compensation,
and I respectfully recommend that in addition to the salary of $1500
which he receives as Y.1.r.c. • ecretary the Board add $600 a year as

REP ORT OF C6L!.iAlIDA1JT
or
CADE'.iS: i9I
T
To the Superintendent:
I reconnnend:
1st. That a Dentist be engaged to examine and chart the teeth of
the Corps of Cadets at least once each year, and that the parents
of cadets in need of treatment be so advised.
a '
t
2. That the exchange be increased to include such articles as
are needed by the cadets, in order that they may take full advantage
of the Government offer of selling clothing and other articles at
cost.
3. That the institution maintain its own tailor shop and
pressing club, based upon the establishment at lest Point.
This to be inaugurated as soon as practicable after careful investigation.
This will involve initial expense and a great deal
.
of hard work, but the end is worth it.
4. Sergeat Ada.mt is of greater value to the institution than
his pay iou d indicate. I t is necessary for him to run a pressing
club in order to live comfortably. I believe that he is worth ~75
a month to the institution.
~J
5. That more proper bathing facilities be provided for the cadets.
6. That some plan be devised to give sufficient water pressure
to flush the latrines on galleries B. and
c.
{.
7. That a detachment of cavalry, 32 horses, be established
here under the provisions of the recent Army legislation. '
-
8. That the Band be enlarged by 3 clarinets, 2 cornet$, and

Col. o. J. Bond, Superintendent,
The Citadel,
Charleston, s. C.
Sir:-
I have the honor to make the following report:
The general health of the cadets during the session of
1915-1916 has been excellent.
The only cases of serious illness
were:
Cadet Dunbar, T.E., concussion of the brain and severe
shock;
supposed to have resulted from a sparring match.
Recovery.
Cadet Paulling, ventral hernia and chronic appendicitis;
this cadet had a hernia on his admission to The Citadel resulting from an operation done for appendicitis six years ago.
Operation for removal of appendix and radical cure of hernia.
Recovery.
Cadet Coleman,K., depressed fracture of skull above
right ear extending into the base and severe concussion of
the brain.
This cadet was seriously injured as the result
of a fall from a trolley car when returning from the cadet
picnic.
He was operated upon and up to the present time has
made a good recovery.
He was practically normal when he left
The Citadel and I feel that hie recovery will be complete and
that there will be no permanent ill effects from the accident.
Contagious diseases have been confined to one case of
mumps.
That contagious diseases have been limited to one case
is evidence of the efficiency of the hospital and the nurse in
charge, Miss Florence J. Gasque,

"America should stand ready, prepared to give all mankind that leadership in democracy that all the world
looks to her for now. Her mission is
one of humanity and her riches at the
present day should not be considered
· solely in acres, or manufactures, or
dollars, but in the Ideal which she
holds up for the human race," declared
Dr Ellis In his address on the "World
War."
Dr Ellis In the course of his remarks used many Illustrations and
drew comparisons from material he
had gathe·red in travel that has taken
him over the world to the most out
of the way places. Some elf the lesaons and probable results of the European cataclysm were sketched by
the speaker.
"This Is the first time In the his•tory of clvlllzatlon that all continents,
all religions and all races are engaged
In the same enterp.i;ise' and thinking
about the same thing-the war," said
Dr Ellis. The war, he said, was a
melting pot In which the scepter,
crown and throne of every royal head
In Europe has been cast, and from
which will arise the force that will
establish a new social order, with the
elimination of ·the caste· and class

The war has challenged all the
standards that have b.een set up by
civilization, according to the speaker.
Humanity is being tested by the conflagration that is loose in Europe as
it has never been tested before. In
all the strife of the war the multitudes are looking to America. No
empire that ever existed, Rome or
Babylon, ever wielded the influence
over the hearts of mankind that this
nation now wields, Dr Ellis declared.
Dr Ellis referred to President WIison and Col Roosevelt, contrasting
them as the disciple of humanitarian
Americanism, and an apostle of a nar-

At the final dress parade of the Citadel

�ov-r~------~-------------------"""7"---- "··-- - - ----""' A change in the chairmanship of the Board of Visitors has
been a rare occurrence, and we feel that the importance of the
retirement of Colonel Lewis from that position on March l, 1916,
deserves more than a passing consideration.
Col. Lewis was first elected to the Board in 1900, and was
chosen vice-chairman in December 1914, when Col. Gadsden requested,
on account of failing health, to be relieved from the responsi--Oilities of the chairmanship. After the death of Col. Gadsden,
in January 1915, Col. Lewis succeeded him, being formally elected
by the Board as its Chairman in June 1915. His brief tenure of
the office expired on February 1, 1916, when he failed of reelection to the Board by the Legislature.
Col. Lewis is still, and we hope will long be, an active and
loyal supporter of The Citadel, but the Board feels that the
occasion o:t· his retirement from this body and from its chairmanship, requires that some record should be made of him in the
official archives. 'l'he following facts in connection with his
life are stated for that purpose:
He was born in Rock Hill, S. c., September 2o, 1867, but his
parents soon removed to the City of Baltimore where he received
his early education in the public schools of that City. The
family removed to Chester, s.c. aoout the year 1880, and he
attended the Chester Graded School until he e.n
e
in 1885. As a cadet, Wm. W. Lewis was recogni z
most substantial me.n of his class and was early made a cadet
officer in the Corps, finally becoming, in his Senior year,
Cadet Captain of Company "A", the highest ot'fice in the Corps of
Cadets. His excellent scholarship is attested by the fact that
he stood second in his class.
For five years after graduation he taught in the public schools
of Rock Hill and York, and was for one year Commandant of Cadets
and l?rofessor of Mathematics in the Georgia Military Institute,
at Atlanta.
Having decided to enter the profession of the Law, he began
his legal studies shortly after his graduation and was admitted
to the bar in 189&. Since this time he has made an enviable reputation in his proression.
Col. Lewis has always taken a great interest in all that concerns the welfare of his community and the State. lie was elected
chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Yorkville Graded Schools
in 1898, but resigned this position when he was elected on the Board
of Visitors. In July 1905 he was elected Colonel of the 1st Infantry, N.G.s.c., and served as such for a period of ten years.
In his position as Colonel of this Hegiment he snowed marked
a·bili ty, and on a number of annual encampments received the commendation of the U.S. Army Officers in charge.
Col. Lewis is universally recognized as a man or sterling
character and unpompromising adherence to principle. He has
b een called upon for public addresses in various parts of the
8 tate, and we confidently look forward to his future career as
one of consequence and value to the 8tate.
�lfi4In speaking of this report the Ch&i.irm..n snid"It gives the Ch irnmn plens. ure tc substantiate the sentiments expressed i~ this rep rt an~ I appreciate the fQct that the services f C 1 Lewis if ever needed will be
cheerfully given': report wus unanimously a..dopted and ordered spreo.d on

the Board of Visitors,
Qentlimen: I have the homor to report the transactions at the
Citadel for the year as follows:
The enrolment this year i~ 222,which is about 30 less than the
enroiment for last · year. The reason for this is the advanced requirements for admission,which I estimate cut down out ireshman Glass from
over a hundred to 76. I believe,however,that from every consideration,
the maintaining of the standard as adopted by the Association of Colleges is necessary. I have received assurances from two counties that
ste2s have immediately been taken to put the schools in condition
to meet the higher standard of the colleges,and I believe that if the
colleges maintain the present standard,that the benefit to the high
schools will be felt at onoe,and that the colleges themselves will ·not
suffer for more than a year or two.
-----We still have a few cadets absent with the troops on the Border. \
It is not yet known when they will be back,and it will be a question
whether they can join their classes when they return. If the beneficiary cadets who are absent mias a year,by reason of their absence
with their regiment,the Board will have to decide whether their scholapships will be extended to five years so that they can complete the

(
Cadet Co1.eman, • o l..7reenwood, injured last Hay ,and furloughed
since that time,hardly feels able to return now. I respectfully ask
for instructions as to his case.
I am pleased to present to the Board the following letter in"\
( reference to the founding of a scholarship at the Citariel by the
}
Daughters of the Confederacy,and t .o recommend its acceptance.
Q)
I present herewith two recommendations from the academic board.
One regarding a condition in studies I can not at present approve.
The other regarding deficiencies in studies I would recommend.
~
I respectfully ask the Board to fix the limits of the Christmas
holidays.
I have heard from one or two sources that there may be a movement
started in the Legislature this year to abolish scholarships in the
State Colleges. I think the abolition of the beneficiary scholarships
at the ]i adel would be a serious blow to the institution. Not only
has the scholarship feature of the Citadel been one of its strong appeals to the people of the Stat, ever since the foundation of the
institution nearly seventy-five years ago,but the beneficiary studentbody in the college has been the back-bone of its disci~line and its
scholarship,and the system has been of a benefit to the indigent youth
of the State which it would be hard to estimate. To me,it would seem
to be a calamity if this feature of our institution were abolished.
The appropria.t ions asked for the ensuing year are as follows:
Maintenance,

�Of these items,I consider the first two nnd the next to the last
of extreme necessity. The others are .desirable,and we have need for
every dollar asked for,but we can get along without them this year.
I beg to state for the information of the Board that under the new
law of Congress,we have established four units of the Reserve Officers Training Corps in the Corps of Cadets. The Commandant has introduced the presrcibed course of military studies,and has scheduled and
is carrying out the practical instruction necessary.
The War Departme~t at ;1-'ashington has not been able yet to put the
whole of the legislation made by Comgress at the last session into effect,or to make rulings on a number of points which affect our institution. Appropriations,also,have not been made for certain items of
subsistence and uniforms which will be of considerable consequence to
us,but these matters are expected to be adjusted in the course of the
next few months.
The ~tter of our next encampment is one which will have to be
taken up with the War Department. We are in hopes that we may be able
to hold a two weeks encampment in April as usual,but it may be that
under the new law,the encampment will be held in the summer,and it may
be fol' a longer period than two weeks.
One c~nage required by the new law is in the appointment of officers in the cadet companies. All membe s of the Pirst and Second Classe
must be appointed officers,so that they can get the experience in the
duties of officers.As a consequence of this,there are First Classmen
who are Sergeants,and some 3econd Olassmen who are Corporals,--which
was not true under our former plan of having the officers from the
::'irst Class only,the sergeants from the Second Class,and the Corporals
from the Third Class.
I am ~leased to report to the Board that the Association of Graduates bore the expense of the subsistence of the Cadet Rifle Team at
the practice at .:inthrop ~i:~d last summer,and therefore the Citadel was
at no expense for this valuable training,as the cadets themselves paid
their railroad fare. ~he value of this practice was apparent in the
standing which the team took at the natonal match. ~ast year.the team
v,as at the bottom,--this year it was 31st in 55 teams. I wish in particular to call to the attention of the Board the great interest which
was taken in the Cadets by Major "'m C.Harllee of the Marine Corps ,who
was in charge of the match.rajor Harllee hn.S made an enviable record
as an officer in the r.:arine Corps,and has a wide reputation in all
brariches of the service as an executive officer.
I am also glad f o call the attention of the Board to the number
of our graduates who have won anpointments during the past few months
in the Army and the 1.:arine Corps .About twenty have received coillI'.lis:sions as second lieutenants.
I have to announce to the Board that on Friday and .:laturdny last
the colleges of the S.I.A.P. met in this city as the guets of the
~itadel.~he sessions of the annual convention were held at the Charlest
Hotel,and on the final afternoon the visitors were taken on a steamer
trip to the jetties and Fort Sumter.
~he Board will note that in December of next year the ~itadel
will be 75 years old. It may be the desire of the Board to celebrate
the occasion in some nublic manner.and therefore it may be your purpose at this time to anpoint a committee to consider the matter and
make a report at the next meeting in June.
Respectfully,

Te the Bard ef Visitera •f The Citadel:
Gen tl emcim :
I haTe tho hener te submit herewith my annual
ropert •f the affairs ef tho Citadel f r the fiscal year n•w cl,sing.
The enr•lment f r the yoar was 240,which is the aecend large£t in
the histery of the institutien. Th• casualties up t• tho pr•ssnt tim
number 34,ef whom 3 were in the 2d class,i3 in tho 3d class,and 18 in
the 4th cl ss. Of this number,7 were henerably discharged,4 ware
dr,pped,5 dismissed,I expelled,and I7 permitted te resign. The numoer
f oasulties will prebably
be
increased by abut 20 as a result of the
final examinatiena,and we shall graduate 44 menbers ef the First Class
s
that the tetal less fer the year ftr all csuses will be ab•ut a
hundred. As eur Freshman class usually numberlii abeut IOO,thero is a
prebability that we may •pen eur next sessien with as larg

At the December meeting,I rep•rted t• the Beard that althe we
had st~rted in Septe~b~r,with a deficit ef eTer $ 2.000-,we heped by
strict eaenomy te r ceTer during the present sassi1n. I am serry te
rep rt that eur cxpect£ti•ns haTe n t been realized.Our hating plant
breke d1,m in February,and alth
ths Chairman cf the B• rd and myself
succeeded in getting the Legislature during the Yery last heurs •f the
sessien t• make an appreprie.tien •f ;?5.000-,2.500-this year,and the
sams a.rn:eunt to be preTided next yeP,r) fer new be iler and p•wer h use,
the emergency which th
•f
breaking dewn •f th
heating plant in the dead
winter put upen us necessitated using ab•ut ~500-•f eur funds which
we had ceunted en fer ether purpeses. In the hurry ef getting eutiCTcte

ff
�of the cest ef building a pewer-heuse,installing new boilers,and trans
ferring maehinery-,we calculated t•• Qles ly,and the cest will prebably
exe~ed the $5.000-preTided by the Legislature by- abeut $500-. Anether
item •f expense which we did net Qnticipate was the fix~ng up ef the
rifl
range at Mt.Pleasant,where we went int• camp frem April Ist t•
15th. We had heped te tak~ the Cerps ef Cadets te the Flerida St te
Ra-sge,near JacksenTille,but ceuld net get reasenable rates frem the
railreads. I am glad te repert that the encampment ~t M
t.Pleasant,was
in eTery- vr:..y- successful. 1::1 st
f the tiI!le was taken up vri th target
sheeting, in whieh the cadets to k great interest and she,,ed in many
cases cemmen~able prafieienay-.
By ~utherity ef the B•ard,the departaent ef Bi•l•gy ~as intreduced at
the geginning ef this year,and I am glad te repert that the werk dene
has been excellent and that in my- epinien it is a T~luable additien t•
eur curriculum. Next year we shall prebably haTe te add te the equipment ef mic:re&cepea, instruments a.nd material ,pr•bably cesting about
.
$ IOO-. During the present summer,I had planned alse te make some c
changes in th
physical laberator7 and add seme needed equipment which
will eeEt abeut ~300-. Alike ameunt will haTe te be expended in equipment in the depertment ef drawing,se that at the beginning ef next
session it is hardly pr•bable that we shall be any better •ff financially than last y-ear,althe at present we are prebably- ne~rly c
theusand dellars better eff than we were this time last year. ITe will
net be able,heweTer,te make any censiderablo repairs in barracks as
we had hepod.
The College werk in all departments has been satisfactory.We haTe had
out usual experience h•ueTer ef finding a censiderable number ef the
