THE CITADEL.
ARCHIVES AND MUSEUM
June 7, 1926 ·
· To The Bon1d of Visitors of the Citadel,
}entlemen:
I hnve the honor to submit ns follows the nnnunl report
of the nffnirs o1 the ,Militnry College for the . session now ending.
The enrolment for the yenr was 438, much the lnrgest
3nrolment in the history of the institution. During the Fall of
1918, when we were in the fu11 ·prepnrntion. of wnr times, the
3. A.~. C. at the Old Citadel hnd a total enrolment for the year
of 350, but immedintely -nfter the Armistice, steps were taken to
muster out these student soldiers, and many of the freshmen, who had
entered the s. A• .T. ·c. solely for the militnry trni~ing, resigned;
so thnt the enrolment of 350 wns really fictitious, the actual nccommodntions not being sufficient for n corps of that size. The enrolment of 317 in 1923 at the New Citndel is the lnrgest number of
cndets regulnrly enrolled for the college courses, up to the p'resent
yenr.
The normnl nccommodntions of the Borrncks Building at
the N~w Citadel . being only 416, some crowding wns nedess~ry to
provide for the 438 cadets who reported on Sept. 20th, 1925, but
this congastion hns · been relieved by tho inevitnbla cnsunlties which
hnve occurre~ during the session. Thesa losses nre ns follows: .
HonornblY dischnrged, 3; resigned, 16; dropped, 4; dismissed, 6;
totnl, 29; lonving the 409 present nt the end of the session.
Xhe distribution of the enrolment nccording to clnsses
is ns follows: Seniors, 50; Juniors, 70; sophomores, 92; freshmen, 226. Allowing for the 49 grnduntes, and probable further
cnsunlties of thirty, will lenve nbout 330 old cndets who ought to
be on the roll next yenr. As the numb e r of res e rvntions nlrendy
mnde for new cndots next session nmounts to 175, nnd will undoubtedly be much incrensed, the probnbility seems to be thrit the enrolment
· for next session w~ll be at lenst 550, nnd mny reach 600.
· rt can rendily be seen, there f ore, how imperntive is
the need for the new bnrrncks building, ~blch we cnn nlmost believe
hns been providentinlly provided.
Lnst Fall, when the Bonrd met to prepare the budget for
presentation to the Legislnture, no one hod any intimation of th0
good furtune in store, ·n nd nn i tern of $100 .. 000 wns inserted in the
budget to provide the minimum nccommodntior_s for the new cndcits with
the hope thnt thc . Genernl Assembly .would npprecinte our urgent needs
nnd npproprinte at lenst thnt amount. No items for equipment or for
I
�2
other incid0ntnl purposes wore put in the budget. But the construction of the new bnrrncks building in its unexpected completeness now
~equires us to give consid~rotion to its proper furnishing nnd to
o-cher ne0ds. Tho enlnrgemont of the Mess Hnll immedintely becomes
necessnry. ~he kitchen, lnundry, nnd hospitnl should also bo cnlnrgod in order to provide for the prospective grant increnso in the
s -: ze of the corps.
•
A list of these items hns been prepnred by the
QunrtGrmnster, nnd also a stntemont ns to the funds which will be
available for improvements during the summer.
Next Fnll, we shnll hnve some adtitionnl funds from
tuition fees which mny be expended for buildings, nn Act having
been pnssed by the lnst Legislature permitting us to rotnin these
feos thr that purposo. But this does not relieve our irnrnedinte
wnnts • . It may be thnt the Bonrc1 will consider it v:ise to include
some of the building-onlnrgoment progrnm in tho $300 .000 funcl,
which mo1·e thrm covers the cost of the new borrncks. If the nction
is tnken, the funds which the Qunrtermnster will hnve nvnilnble mny
tnke cnre of the immedinte needs in equipment.

The probable incrense in the corps being foreseen
lnst summer, provision wns mnde in the budget for the election of
severnl nduitionnl assistants. It is possible thnt our enrolrnont
may exceed the estimntes we mnde at thnt time (v:hich · now seems
more thnn likely) in which cnse it will be necessnry to obtnin nd- ,
ditionnl tenchers. I would recommend thnt the Chnirmnn of the
Bonrd be authorized to npprove such ndditionnl nppointments if
they be found necessnry.
The incrensing size of the cndet corps will hnve the
desirnble result of ennbling us to proceed with the needful expnnsion of our courses upon n moro economicol bnsis. For mnny yenrs
we hove been strugling vr'i th the problem of r~ising our requirements for admission to those of n stnndnrd college, so thnt the
dipl ~mn nnd degrees given by the Citadel might be recognized. In
1912, I reported to the Bonrd thnt the Citadel wns living strictly
up to the requirements of ten high school units, which w~s the
�4
minimum stnn~nrd of the Association of Colleges of South Cnrolinn
~t that time. As the high schools of the Stnte grew nnd were
~eveloped, this stnndnrd wns rnised to eleven, then twelve nnd then
to fourteen, nnd three yenrs ngo to fifteen units, nnd the completi on of a four yenr higb school course, which nre the necessnry
r equirements for membership in the Southern Associntion. This hns
1:',Gen mnde possible only by the great ndvnnce which hns been mnde. in
·::he high schools of the Stnte.
With the attainment of this object now nccomplishcd,
t h e next serious c onsiderntion is the development of the deportments.
r he f or mer plnn ~hich prevailed nt the Citn del of n fixed course for
nll students for four yenrs has grndunlly been modified to meet
chnnging educn 4ionnl opinion. At first, we permitted electives only
in the senior yenr. Now we permit. cndcts at the enc.l of the sophomo re yenr to elect courses for the next tvo yenrs. Probably, in
t ime , it. mny be ndvisnble to extend the elective system to the
sophomore clnss, but it does not seem to be fensible now. The
required stuc1ies in the fr crnhmnn nnd sophomore clnsses nre selected
t o cover n foundntion in mnthemntics, English, history, science, nnd
lrmgunges, upon i:::hich the electives of the two higher clnsses cnn be
properly bnsed. There is no doubt thnt the general elective system
which hns been introduced in so mnny colleges has led to many unsntisfnctory results, which they now see nnd deplore, nnd I believe
that we hnve ~one wisely in going slowly nlong the rond of the
elective system.
President Butler, of Columbia Univers~ty, ~none of ·
his reports mnkes this stntement:
"A most unhappy result of the elective system intro duced n
genernti on ngo, nnd one thnt wns not f oreseen, wns the destruction
of thnt c ommon body of knowledge which held educnted men together
i n understanding nnd sympathy. For more thnn n thousand yeors
educnted men hnd pursued pretty much the snme studies, hod rend
p r etty much the snme books, nnd hnd gnined n. common stock of infor1nn tion concerning mnn nnd nnture.
The elective system first
we akened nnd then destroyed the common body of knowledge, _n nd ns n
r esult brought in its train intellectual, socinl, nnd politicnl
tJo nsequences that nre nothing less thnn grievous."
Dr. Butler does not now ndvocnte the aboliti on of the
0l ective system, for further on he snys: "It was manifestly impossible nnd undesirnule for mnny rensons to reinstate the old program
of college studies. The world hod outgrown it; but the world hnd
no t outgrov:n, ancl will never outgrow, the p rinciples upon which that
:J roscribed course of study wns based."
At the present time, the
fo ll owing elective courses nre being given in the Junior nnd senior
lOnrs, the number of students electing the courses being indicated

With the smnll numbars in four of the /elective coursesT
capita cost of tuition is necessnrily high; and the increasing
the student body is the hope that we hnve for effecting a rein cost. The following table wns recently compiled nt the

An examination of the table will show thnt the average
npproprintion for mnintennnce for the pnst five yenrs is ~lOG,000,
nnd the average enrolment is 306, giving an nvernge per cnpitn cost
to the Stnte of $333.
With a cl.Hl.et corps this yenr of 438, the por
cGpitn cost will be about $280.; nnd next yenr with 550 or more
..:;n c:ets as we expect, the per cP.pi tn c:-,st ought to be reduced to less
than $250. ·

It is to bo no~ed thnt 70 per cent of the seniors nnd
juniors ore in two out of th & six elective courses,- civil engineering nnd business ndministrnti~n. Only 30% nre enr~lled in the four
courses of nrt ~nd science. \Vhen we consider the splendid equipment

Ono wny in which the scholastic vrnrk nt 'the C1t11del

The time nov: given to scholnstic work is p robr:ibly below the minimun
prescribed for n st~nQr.r0 college. When the Citndel wns re opened in
1882• the sess·on rnn for ten months, with one interruption of two
weeks nt Christmas. It opened on Oc tober 1st~ nnd closed nt the end
of July, covering n period of 41 weeks. Such n session nowndnys is
unheard of, 35 weeks being nbout the moximum, nnd this being re duce d
by hol:Ulnys nnd the sp ring encnmpment to .34 or less.
It is n ot d esirable to c ontinue bur session through
the hot months of June nnd July; nor woulu. it be well to open much
before the middle of September. I would recommend that the opening
day this yenr be fixed f or Snturdny. Sept~ 18th / nnd thot the

The usunl inspections by officers from the Fourth
Corps Area. Hendqunrters nrtd from the Genornl 3tnff nt Wnshington
were m11de this spring, nnd while no report hns yet been received,
I hnve no doutt thnt the Ci t11del. __rotnins its high rr.nk ns n
militnry college. The Virginia Militnry Institute nnd the Citndel
are genernlly recognized ns being inn clnss by themselves, nnd it
would seem thnt these two institutions must inevitnbly stnnd nt
the hend of nny list of colleges selected for militnry excellence.
It is desirnble to have the spring rifle prnctice
nt Mt. Plensnnt n.nnuo.lJ.y, if the time required be limited to one
week. Any time longer than this is nt n sacrifice of studies which
I do not feel wnrronted 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 recom-mend thnt nn encampment of one week be authorized for next yenr,
some time in the Spring.
The P. M. S. & T" r e commends t:1e adoption by th>ti ~_Qprps
of the roll-collnr Army blouse, nnd nlso thnt the use of boots~voe discontinued. The change in the blouse new in use cnn be made nt small
expense nnd I concur in his recomm,m d11tion th~t the chnnge be mnde to
conform to the Army regulation.
ae nlso recommended that the red
so.sh. p l.ume, liberty belt, sn b0r nnd sn ber sling be issued by the
Citadel as equipment. This would require n considarnble outlay by
the Qunrtermnster, nnd it seems to me sufficment to keep in stock
only enough equipment to supply the. needs of those who mny not be
disposed or nble to buy their own outfit.
The Commnndant also suggests that smoking by cndets
be _permitted in bnrrncks. I nm not disposed to· concur in this recommendation. There will nlwnys be smoking, of course, but the prohibition of it nets as n deterrent from excessive nnd genernl smoking.

To t ~e Doa r d of Visitors of The Cita del.
Gent lemen :
The curre nt session opened on Septe rab er 20th with a n
e nrol me i1t of 720 Ca dets di stribute,d. among t l1e classes as follows-: ...
Seniors,
J nnio1~s,
Sophomores,
Fr e sl1.me n,
~

These fi gures f or each of the classes are the la ~gest t :.rn t we have ever had at the Citadel. The class wh ich gr ad uate d l a st
Jw1e number ed 62 mem, and this is the record f or size. As t he casualties i n th.e t wo upper classes are usually s mall, we have t !.1.e
prospect of about 80 gra d.uates th.is year, and proba.b ly over a hundred ne xt ye a r. ' With barrack s accommo dations limited to 720, it
becomes necessary for us at t h is time to consider the probable si ze
pf t l1e Corps a.t the encl of the present year so that we may know
what Will be the necessary .limit to be placed on the number of new
cad ets to be ad mitted next session.
AlloWiTIG for the graduating class, and_a loss in the
Junior, Sophomore, and. Freshman Classes of 8~·&, 2Q9b and 3o% respectively, the size of "the corps at the end o-f the year would be about
490, allowin~ for a treshman class next year of 260 • . If the casualties in t he Fre·shman Cla ss should be sor.iewh.a t greater, the limit
of the Freshman Cla ss would bo raised.
It would seem to be reasonable to expect that the numbers in the l"OSj;>cotive -classes at the end. of t he y eal" would not fall
be low t h e. followin,g fi gl.U"es:
Juniors,
Sophomoxes,

This woul~ permit a ·F1"e.a}wlan Class of 300 men next

to t h e •si•z e of the Freshmant Clc.ss. ··s.o as to have a well-balanc

Annual Report of the President
June 4, 1928.
'
"
T o th.e B oard of Visitors of Th.e Citadel.
Gentlemen:
'1
,,
In submitting the annual report of the affairs of the Military
College, there is so much of satisfactory progress to report
that it would seem inappropriate to lay stress upon the dis- .
appoinments which we have had. A year ago, however, we
looked forward to one great hope which has not been realized,
and which is so fundamentally important for our future
progress that it deserves the place of first consideration in
this report. I refer to the unsuccessful ~fforts which were
made to get fu_nds for the construction of the Main College
building of the New Citadel.
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:
Main Administration Building________________ $259,200.
Audi tori um ___________ ._. _________._________.__________ ______ 144,000.
I
At its meeting last October the Board directed that an item
of $400,000 be put in the budget of The Citadel for this
purpose and that an effort be made to get an appropriation
from the Legislature to cover the cost of construction. However, at a special meeting of the Board held in Columbia in
January last, it was decided not to press this request, but to
obtain the approval of the General Assembly to a bill which
would authorize the Board to borrow $250,000 on an
amortization plan, making use of tutition fees.

The pressing need of a building program is not peculiar to
The Citadel, but is a problem common to all the State institutions of learning. It will be of interest to examine the
statements of these institutions as to their needs for permanent improvements as shown in their reports for the past
two years, and also the provision which the Legislature has

A trustee of one of our notable univer sities who had an
unbounded confidence in the mission and ·the integrity of his
institution, announced with all seriousness that "it was the
sole duty of the Committee of Finance to find whatever sums
the Committees on Education and on Buildings and Grounds
might state to be necessary to carry on adequately the work
of the University."
From the point of view of the colleges, this would be an
ideal view for the Legislature to take in regard to their budgets. Nor would it appear altogether absurd, perhaps, even
to the economists of the General Assembly if they felt assured
that the figures submitted expressed the real minimum of
actual needs and not ambitious desires for expansion. In the
table above, the requests of. the various institutions for their
building programs are undoubtedly based upon authenticated
needs and careful estimates. And yet, for a total of two
and a half millions stated as their needs for new construction,
only ten per cent was granted.
This policy cannot, of course, be adopted as permanent.
The facilities for higher education must be enlarged to meet
the growth of the State in population and resources. The
members of the Legislature, however, may say that the
amounts asked for by the colleges,-while entirely reasonable
from the point of view of their needs,-cannot be provided
�5
for on account of the inability to raise a sufficient revenue
from taxation.
It is to meet this serious situation that the governing boards
of the colleges have been seeking other methods of financing
their building programs. Various methods are being tried in
different parts of the country.
1.
·2.
3.
A State Bond Issue.
Direct legislative appropriation.
Private financing (benefactions and campaigns).
The first of these methods has been adopted in a number
of States, but was decisively rejected in South Carolina a
few years ago when a Constitutional amendment for that
purpose was submitted to the people.
The experience of the past two years gives little hope that
sufficient funds can be obtained from current appropriations.
The Citadel has been particularly fortunate in receiving
several notable benefactions, which have provided our beauiful
and well-equipped hospital and the splendid new Andrew B.
Murray Barracks. Funds from the same source have assisted
largely in the addition of the president's house, and the officers'
quarters on the campus. In these latter buildings, the cost
has been partly borne by funds from tuition fees. The construction of Alumni Hall is due to voluntary subscriptions from
members of the Association of Graduates. But benefactions
cannot be counted upon even when most needed. Therefore,
the proposal of the Board to utilize· tuition fees to amortize a
loan seems to be the only feasible plan yet proposed for continuing our needed building program.' If the Citadel is to become
a really important educational institution, the construction of
the Main College Building is the immediate need.
In this connection, the subject of raising the charge for
tuttion has a direct bearing. An examination of the statistics
of 102 State Universities and State Colleges in the United
States shows the following interesting facts:
it.
For residents of the State:
70 % make no charge for tuition,
20 % charge less than $50 a year,
5 % charge from $50 to $100, and
5% charge more than $100.
'
�6
For non-residents:
30 % make no charge,
28 % charge less than $50,
18 % charge from $50 to $100, and
24% charge more than $100.
The charge for tuition to both resident and non-resident
students in the State colleges of South Carolina is the same,
$40 a year. Of 16 other Southern universities and colleges,
only two charge tuition to residents of the State. It would
seem, however, that a charge of $50 a year at The Citadel to
students from South Carolina, except in cases approved by
the State Board of Public Welfare, would not be a hardship,
and a charge of $90 to non-residents would be reasonable. On
this basis ,the probable annual income from tuition fees would
be about $30,000, an increase of about 50 % over our present
income.
If the Board is allowed to set aside this amount each year
a building program can be planned which, while not adequate,
will at least help us slowly to attain the objects we have in
view. It should be said that if the raise in the tuition fees
proposed above is adopted by the Board, it should not go into
effect until the Session 1929-1930; as we have already made a
be about $30,000, an increase of about 50 % over our present
basis of a forty-dollar fee.
ENROLMENT.
The enrolment for the session now closing was 722, by far
the largest in the history of The Citadel. The following
statistical table will be of interest, and is inserted here.

A simple calculation shows that while the enrolment has
increased 130 per cent in three years, the appropriations made
for maintenance have been increased only 41 per cent, showing
�7
a disproportionate prov1s1on for the enlarged necessities of
the college. When the Legislature was considering The Citadel
items in the appropriation bill at the last session, some criticism was made by certain members about the number of
students in attendance at The Citadel from outside the State.
The distribution by States, ~nd also the distribution by
counties of the students from South Carolina is inserted here

The table above shows that eighty per cent of the students
at The Citadel ar e from our State_ The largest numbers of
non-resident students come naturally from neighboring, or
near-by States,-North Carolina furnishing 41 and Georgia,
�8
47. But an examination of the catalogs of the colleges in
these States shows that they are as hospitable to outside
students as we are. At Washington and Lee University, for
instance, the Virginia boys are a small minority of the
student-body, - 22 per cent. To give just a few figures,
North Carolina State College at Raleigh is educating 72 South
Carolina boys; Georgia Tech at Atlanta, 59; Alabama Polytechnic at Auburn, 17; Washington and Lee at Lexington, Va.,
19; and University of Florida at Gainesville, 8. It would seem
to be highly desirable to have students from all parts of the
country come to our colleges, not only for the educational value
to our own students, but also from the advertizing value of
the resources, attractions, and business of the State.
The distribution of the student-body by classes is as follows:
Seniors ------------------------------------------------------------------ 80
Juniors ------------------------------ _____________________________ _____ 123
Sophomores _______ _________________________________________________ 161
Freshmen ------------------------------------ __________________ ______ 358
The total casualties to date in these several classes are:
Seniors, ---------------- -------------------------------------------------- 2
Juniors, ______ ------------------------------------------------------------ 4
Sophomores, _____________________________________________ _____________ 10
Freshmen, ------------------------------------- ___________________ _____49
The numbers in the 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 Citadel, but is the common problem in all grades of
the educational field in all the States. 'flie University Society
of New York, in a review of the whole field of education, has
compiled records to show that of the multitudes of boys who
start out in the grammar school, only 2½ per cent go on to
the completion of a college course. The losses, according to
this authority, occur about as follows: "Of all the boys who
start school, more than a third drop out without ever finishing
the Eighth Grade. Another third-almost-stop at the end
of the Eighth Grade. The final third go on into the High
School - but less than half of them graduate. Only about
one of every ten boys who start school goes on to college.
�9
Even of that Ton per cent who enter college, less than a third
graduate." Of the living American 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 in the esteem of the public. On the contrary, the facilities of the higher educational instituions are
everywhere being taxed by increasing number of applicants
for admission who have very different degrees of aptitude
and qualifications for advanced work, and many who are not
qualified at all.
Some very serious problems are involved, and solutions are
being sought in the establishment of junior high schools in
the field of secondary education, and of junior colleges further
on, with the possibility of the old-time "college of liberal arts"
being finally forced to give the specialized courses of the
modern university or go out of existence. At The Citadel,
'we are holding to the conservative plan of using the first two
years of the college course for laying the foundation of what
may be called a "general education", during which time the
student is required to take a prescribed course of studies,
and in the junior and senior . years offering elective courses
which bear directly upon his prospective life-work.
LITERARY AOTIVITIES
A gradual decline of the literary societies has been one of
the regrettable features of our colleges generally. It is probably due to the increasing attention which is being paid to
athletics and to social activities by students. There is always,
however, a limited number of men with literary tastes who
are willing to give some of their spare time to purely scholarly
pursuits, and during the past year a committee of professors
from the literary departments organized in the Corps a
selected group under the title of "The Round Table" for the
purpose of discussing questions of intellectual and cultural
interest and for the practice of oral expression. This society
meets bi-weekly, and has discussed such topics as "The purpose
of education", "The general status of education in the United
States", "Prohibition", and "The presidential election."
The Round Table also arranges for inter-collegiate debate&
�10
and oratorical contests, and it is gratifying to report that the
Citadel debators won in contests · both with the College oo
Charleston and Wofford College this ~ession. A member of
the Round Table represented the Citadel in the State oratorical contest, and two others submitted theses on "John C.
Calhoun" in the competition for the U. D. C. medal which were
adjudged the most excellent.
We have reason to look upon the experiment of the Round
Table with decided · hopefulness.
BENEFICIARY SCHOLARSHIPS
There are nineteen vacant scholarships to be filled by competitive examinations on July 13th in the following counties:
Anderson 1, Beaufort 1, Calhoun 1, Charleston 1, Dorchester 1,
Greenwood 1, Hampton 1, Horry"l, Kershaw 1, McCormick 1,
Newberry 1, Pickens 1, Richland 1, Saluda 1, Spartanburg 2,
York 2, and Union 1.
Advertisements of these vacancies are now being carried
in the several county papers and also in the principal State
dailies.
MILITARY DEPARTMENT.
The military department has been conducted with efficiency,
and the report of the annual inspection dated May 16th states
that the units at The Citadel are pronounced proficient, which
carries with it the privilege of designating four "honor
graduates." This does not mean, however, that four of our
graduates will receive commissions in the Army, as that depends upon the number of vacancies available. It is also to
· be noted that no "distinguished colleges" are designated this
year, but only a statement regarding proficiency is published.
I have, however, a letter from General Richmond P. Davis,
commanding the Fourth Corps Area, stating that the military
department at The Citadel is considered proficient in all departments and that the practical work is especially noteworthy.
The details of Major Jacob A. Mack, C. A. C., and Capt.
Paul B. Robinson, Inf., having expired, these officers have
been relieved · of · duty at The Citadel to take effect at the
�11
close of the present se·ssion, and· Major Abram V. Rinearson,
' C.A.C., and ·capt. Lewis Simons, Inf., have been detailed to
take their places.
An encampment for ·the purpose of rifle instruction and
practice was held for the Junior Class and a number of 1Senior
instructors on the range at Mt. Pleasant during the week
of April 23-28. The members of tthe Junior Class will go to
the Government camps immediately after Commencement, the
infantry students to Camp McClellan, Ala., and the C.A.C.,
students to Fort Moultrie.
·There seems to be a possibility of the national rifle matches
being held at Camp Perry this summer, and that State civilian
teams may be authorized to go. General Dozier has kindly
promised to designate T~e Citadel team again as the South
Carolina civilian team if this goes through. Authority to
spend $300 if so much be necessary, is asked for expenses
incidental to the sending of our team.
The increased size of the Corps has added considerably to
the impressiveness of the military exercises, particularly the
reviews and dress-parades. During the past session, we have
had the opportunity of paying honor to a number of distinguished visitors, and an actual count shows that fifteen special
reviews have been given as follows:
l
l
Oct. 18th, by the Board of Visitors,
Oct. 28th, by Admirals Robertson and Clark, of the U. S.
Navy,
Nov. 9th, in attendance at General C. I. Walker's funeral,
Nov. 11th, Armistice-Day Parade.
Nov. 16th, by the United Daughters of the ConfederacyNational Convention.

district governor of Rotary International.
May 10th, Memorial Day exercises at Magnolia Cemetery.
May 16th, by Maj.-Gen. Robert H. Allen, Chief of Infantry.
DISCIPLINE.
· With the increase in the size of the Corps, the problem of
discipline has become more difficult ,and the work of administration more exacting. This is especially true as regards
applications for cadets to be absent from duty. The trouble
does not lie altogether with the cadets, but the responsibility
must be shared by many parents who do not cooperate with
us in trying to enforce the regulations of the institution.
Applications for furloughs are requested for the slightest
reasons and sometimes even upon very doubtful pretexts. rA
remarkable condition has arisen in the colleges generally due
to modern rapid highway transportation, and that students
are making a custom of setting out at the week-end ostensibly
to hike to their homes, - sometimes more than a hundrea
miles away, - but with the expectation of getting free transportation on,. the way from obliging motorists. This practice
has many objectionable features, and should be strongly discouraged not only as a bad thing per se, but also because it
is demoralizing to the students and to the educational work
of the college.
The prevalent practice of drinking intoxicants, not uncommon, unfortunately, among even our best people, · has had its
effect upon QUI' student-body, some of whom have been
reported for being under the influence of intoxicants and suspended. The Board at a special meeting on March 22nd confirmed the suspension of three of these by dismissal. I have to
report two additional cases since that time, and I recommend
that these cadets be dismissed. I do not believe that this
�' . :
.
18
vice among college students can be controlled except by
stringent enforcement of the penalty of expulsion.
The abandonment of the Honor System by the Corps of
Cadets might seem to indicate a considerable set-back to
discipline. Among a number of irresponsible cadets, the
removal of this very powerful agency in the student-body
resulted in some cases of hazing, and also engendered a feeling,
perhaps, among some of the lawless element that they may
now be a little bolder in wrong-doing, but on the whole, I do
not believe that the general sentiment of the corps has been
altered, either towards what is morally right, or in their
attitude toward discipline: There may be a certain feeling
of relief from the direct responsibility of disciplining their
fellows, - always a disagreeable duty, - but a very large
element can be depended upon to favor a strict enforcement
of regulations by the regularly constituted authorities.
In the very serious matter of hazing, I believe that some
decided pronouncement of the Board is opportune a:t this time.
At West Point and Annapolis, and in war-time at any
institution which trains men for the military establishment,
great stress is laid upon the qualities of virility, endurance,
and leadership; and a selective process of weeding out the
weak and timid is considered necessary. We hear much of
"he-men", men of physical force rather than of moral courage
and scholarly habits. In peace-times, however, there are some
young men who go to college for the serious purpose of study,
and do not care for the horse-play. Some of these have told
me that they would like to take their college course here, but
preferred to go to college 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
without molestation, and a pledge should be required of every
upper classman not to engage in the practice. Such a pledge
is now taken by every new cadet when he matriculates, but
to be effective it should be renewed at the beginning of each
session by all the upperclassmen. I therefore recommend that
no cadet be given admission to the . barracks until he has
subscribed each year to the following pledge: "I, (cadet's
�14
name), being fully advised of the regulation against hazing,
hereby promise on my honor ·and without any reservation that
I will not engage in hazing of any kind during my connection
with the Citadel."
RELIGIOUS EXERCISES.
"'
During the past session, weekly religious services have been
held on Sunday morning in Alumni Hall, use being made of
the bleacher-seats which were installed for the basket-ball
games and retained throughout the session. The construction
of an auditorium adequate to accommodate the entire studentbody for assemblies of all kinds is one of the much-needed
buildings which we vainly hoped would be approved by the
last General Assembly, and which is a matter of such importance that efforts should be continued for its accomplishment.
These Sunday morning services have generally been conducted by the ministers of the City of the several denominations in rotation, so that the cadets have had the opportunity of hearing not only the ministers of their own church
but also of all the other denominations. An item of $500 was
allowed in our budget for the expenses of these religious
services, and an honorarium of $15 has been sent to each of
the ministers who has preached for us.
On several occasions, this Sunday morning hour has been
utilized for lay addresses, when there was a particular message
which I wished to have presented to the Cadets. On October
23rd, Dr. W. W. Ball, editor of the News & Courier, made
an excellent address to the Corps upon Wade Hampton and
his services to the State. This was a propos of the State-wide
movement among the schools and colleges for raising- funds
for the Hampton statue to be erected in Memorial Hall at
Washington, towards which the Cadets made a contribution
of one hundred dollars. Other noteworthy ·addresses were
made by Dr. W. Cyril O'Driscoll, of the Medical College, Mrs.
Mary Harris Armor, a prohibition lecturer of international
renown, and Dr. Nicol, of the Salvation Army.
·
While we have adopted the plan of a general service at
The Citadel because the distance to the various churches is
... ..
�15
too great to send the squads of Cadets, as was the custom
at the old Citadel, this service is held at an early hour so as
not to interfere with the regular morning services in the City
churches, and the Cadets are encouraged to affiliate with the
congregations of their choice and attend individually their own
denominational services. A considerable number do so.
"
The report of the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Mr. Leland,
shows that the Sunday evening services · at The Citadel have
been interesting and well-attended, and that this organization
is serving a useful purpose in the Corps. The Cadet postoffice
is administered by the Secretary, who also looks after the
amusement halls and certain athletic activities. Two cadets
rep·r esented The Citadel "Y" at the quadrennial student convention at Indianapolis, and possibly a dozen will attend the
summer conference at Blue Ridge.

HEALTH.
'
.' .
The report of the Surgeon shows that the percentage of
illnesses among the cadets during the past session has been
remarkably small. In particular, it is worthy of note that
contagious diseases were liµiited to two cases of mumps and
one of measles. Half a dozen "injuries o~ a more or less serious
kind, incident to foot-ball, were treated and fully recovered.
There were also half a dozen surgical operations, mostly
appendicitis. These cases were taken to the Infirmary in the
City, and made good recoveries. We had two cases of pneumonia, and four cases of true .influenza.
'
t '
The enlargement of the Hospital to meet the possible needs
of the growing student-body is a matter which should be
given consideration.
�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.
The report of the inspection by the State Health Officer
was entirely favorable as to the health conditions on the
campus, and inspections by several mosquito experts also
indicate that there are no breeding-places for mosquitoes on
The Citadel premises.
During the past session, The Citadel sewerage system was
connected up with the City system just north of The Citadel
grounds, an appropriation of a few hundred dollars having
been made by the Contingent Fund Committee for that
purpose.
CADFJT ACTIVITIES.
The so-called "extra-curricular" activities of the modern
college cover a wide field. ! At The Citade( they require the
coustant supervisory attention of one academic officer, the
director of cadet affairs. He looks after the financial affairs
of the Canteen and the cadet publications, supervises all the
public social functions of the cadets, and has responsible
charge of all phases of college sports. Athletics have become
so prominent not only in the colleges but also in the high
schools that in many of the letters we get from high school
superintendents about prospective teachers from our graduating class, precedence is given to ability to coach athletics, and
the teaching of some school subject is of secondary importance.
Nearly all branches of college sports -are - rep1;esented - by
Citadel teams, - foot-ball, basket-ball, base-ball, track, swimming, .tennis, and this year, fencing. Of course, the greatest
of these is foot-ball.
The construction by the City of Charleston of the Johnson
Hagood Memorial Stadium in proximity to The Citadel campus
has been of the greatest service to us, as its use is practically
confined to The Citadel foot-ball games. The Director of
Cadet Affairs points out that th.e original plan of the City
in b~ilding the stadium was to utilize it not only for foot-ball
but also for base-ball by the City League during the summer.
�17
'l'he desirability of reserving· the Johnson-Hagood Memorial
Stadium for foot-ball and putting the base-ball diamond and
stands apart from the Stadium was so apparent that an
arrangement was made between the City and the Citadel ·
Athletic Association whereoy a · separate grand-stand was
erected at a cost of about $9,000, - $5,000 from the City and
$4,000 from the Association - The Citadel to have use of
the Stadium for :fifteen years.
SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION.
The Citadel has now been a member of the Asociation of
Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States for
four years. It is the practice of this Association to make a
triennial inquiry into th,e work of the member institutions
and report such matters ~s they deem ·subject of criticism.
The report on the Cita:del received in December last states
that this institution conforms to the standards of the Association in most essential particulars, but that two important
criticisms must be made: first, as to the excessixe number
of hours which the modern language professo1s teach, and
second, the entirely inti,dequate library facilities furnished
the students.
The unexpectedly large freshman class last fall caught us
unprepared in teaching force. At the last .moment, we
engaged Mr. E,. C. Seabrook, a graduate of last year, to assist
in the mathematics department, but it was not so easy to get
a French teacher on short notice, and four professors in the
modern language department undertook to take care of the
work by assuming extra hours. We expect to relieve them
of this undue 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 facilities would have occurred. If
these plans should develop in the future, the conspicuous
examples of the University of Virginia and of Columbia
University of having the library as the central feature of the
college plant could be admirably carried out at the Citadel.
With the increase in the number of cadets there is neces-
�18
✓
sarily a corresponding increase in the size of the faculty, and
the problem of furnishing quarters to professors is a difficult
one, especially to married men. We are in immediate need of
two additional sets of ·quarters, which can be arranged in the
Meeting Street Extension of the Old Citadel on the ground
floor in rooms 'temporarily used by the Medical Unit of the
National Guard. There are nine families now living in the
building, and while it
occasion the Medical Unit ·some
inconvenience to move to other quarters, our need for the
room they occupy is urgent, and, besides, it is in every way
desirable that this building which is already ·occupied by so
many families be reserved altogether for such purposes.
may
The faculty recommends to the Board the award of the
degree of Civil Engineer on Mr. A. G. Hampton, graduate of
The Citadel in the Class of 1921, who has been engaged in
engineering work since that time. His thesis, which has been
approved by the engineering department is entitled: '~Controlling Displacement of Concrete Forms", a study in con- ,
nection with the construction of the lower Santee highwaybridge.

COL.O . .J . BOND
PRESIDENT
Juno 3, 1929
To the Board of Visitors of The -Citadel,
G-ontlomon:
I hav9 the honor to submit horewith an aooount of the
affairs of the Military Collogo for the session now drnwing to a
close.
The very compl'oto report of tho Ro.gistrer which is appended gives in dotail a groat deal of statistioRl informetion
which tho Board will bo into.rosted in looking ovor, and I tako this
opportunity to·- say that . the work of this import.a nt offict · is oonducte!l by-- Captain Prouty _in a very ·thorough and satisfeotory way.
Af'tor me.ny years of effort-, it is gratifying to find
that the soholastio work of The Ci tadol is receiving the reoosnl- ti·on and crodi t of a stand,ard college. An lnstanoe may bo oi tod in
a comnrunication .reo_ently rocoivod +rom the rogistrar of the University of Chicago, stating that -tho bachelor'a dogreo from tho . Citadel will admit tho holdors to the graduate courses of_ that Univer. sity for the doctor's _degroe. Gradually-, al-~o-, · the records whioh _
our graduates are making aftor leaving Tho Ci tad el aro r~coi ving ·
the favorable attention of the universitiQs and also of tho Govor~ment eerv·ices and of business corporations. The Board will be intorestod to know that many of .. tho present 'graduf. ting olass have
boen aooepted for positions as ·aqon es - they havo completo4 thei~
oourses here. A part:mi list of these is given with this roport4
Of the o~o hundred nhd ol:bvon mombors of the senior ol8sij
all but three have oomplotod tho fu.11 Qburso for oither the B.A.
or B.S. degroo. Tho few exceptions still have one 6r. .tw·o oQursos
to make up, and are reoommond~d to receive the diploma as soon fts
this neoossary work :l,·s ·done.
· In this oonnootion th~ faculty ondorsos favorably ~ho
...•equost from tho Class of 1~19 that tho degl.'80 of B.S. be awarded
to Oscar Newton Taylot, 1 of Oak Park, Ill, v.tio left tho· Citoo:el ·near
ti:10 ond of his junior yenr to go into tho Army• and who afterwards
completod _his oourse at Northwestern Uni ve:rsi-ty .:
: Th_o history of :the granting of dogreos by Tho Ci.tad.&_l
·o an be summarized by the following ·r eferenc~s:
Previous to the year 1900 1 onli_· the diploma was award.ad
to graduates~ and no degree wa~ eonf.erred PY the Board of Visitors.
In that year, on the 17th of February, an Ao~ was approve~ whioh
gave the . Board pow~r to oonter the degr~e of Baohelor of Soionoe.
_,.At first, _this clegroe wa~ -restrio·t ed· to · tho·s e· honor graduates .who
•-
�8ttaiuod the high genornl avorago in studios of 85 por cent. Consoquontly, it was received by a sm2ll porcontage of the gradu~ting
class. Five out of nineteen mombors of tho Class of 1900, and only
three out of fifteen th~ noxt year, roceived the degree. Manifestly,
this arbitrary-.: liaitc,tion was· unwise, and in 1904, tho Board passed
e resolution conforring tho degree of Bachelor of Science on all
the graduates . of tho A0ademy, making it retroactive to cover all
the olassos back to 18860
February 14, 1911, an Act was approved furthor:: o;tending the power of the Board to grant the degree of Civil Engineer.
Following the recommendation of the Amer.ican Socinty for the Promotion of Engineering Eduo z.-)ibh~ -: t:1.is . is .:: °i:•p.ost.;.§rlic.uate. ·t1oiree !i-Sing
awarded to graduates in civtl engineering who havo done at least
th1·ee years of responsible ongincering \:ork P,nd who present a thesis
on some phase of their profession deemed worthy by tho onginoering
faculty of The Citedel. This limits tho dog1 00 to t.hoso graduates
of special attainments, and tho Citadel C.E. degreo is consequently
highly esteemed by thoso who havo rocoived it, avon by thoso who
hed already obtained momborship in tho Amorican Society of Engineorso

I wish to quote hete for the information of tho Board
the following oxtn:,cts from tho head of tho departmont of onginoering. Major LoTellier says: ''During the pest yoar, formal recognition
of the engineering course at Tho Citadel has come from two important agencies, viz: the National Council of State Boards of Engineering Examiners and the United States Civi1 Service Commission.
"Several _yoars ai10, tho former appointod · a committee to
preapre a list of 'recognized' enginooring schools, tho graduates
of which would bo entitled to certain recognition whon appoe.ring
bofore examining boards. Tho Citadel is on this list. ·
"In numerous announcements of examinations by the Civil
Service Commission it is specified that applicants must be graduates
o-f 7 reoognized 1 schools of engineering, 811d The Cj_tadol is so
classed by it. At least two members of tho sonior class 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, tho officers being on a parity as to rank: and pay with Army
and Navy offioors,
"In this connem:tion, it is interesting to note the rec:ent record of tho two most recent rooipionts of tho Civil Engi1.oor dogroe from The Citadel, Oliver H. Kollook, Class of 1922,
e1.. d Ambrose G. Hempton, Class of 1921,
"Recently, tho Flinkkote Comppny, a largo corporetion
in ror.d work, decided to solect throe or four highway engineers to
spend t~ree months in Eu.rope studying hig~way practice abroad.From
. the large numbor of highway engineers who would naturally seek suoh
a desirable appointment, Kollook was among the smell group eppointod, and he is now in Europe.
"In tho oaso of Hampton, tho thosis which ho submitted
�f or his dogreo was aoceptod for publication by tho Engineering
Nows-Rooord, tho loading Amorican journal in tho civil engineering
and contracting fiold, and was commentod on editorially as follows: - 'A notable example of the last practice (rationalizing
conorote form-work) is furnished by tho two artiolos by A.G. Hamp. ton. His tosts are a praisoworteyundertaking to · disclose the faots
upon which a calculated onginoering design can bo predicated•·••
They aro onoouraging ovidonco of the possible piolds that may bo
obtainod by applying resoarch methods to practical construction
problems' ~
A fow years ago, the proprioty of granting the degree
of Bachelor of Arts to those graduates who specialize in their
junior and senior years in literqture, history,and languages was
oonsicl!orcd by 1'he Board, and on April 4, 1925, an Act was approved
'.V i th this provision, "And tho said Board shall hz.ve full power to
confer degroos on graduates of tho said colloge". This Act removed
tho limitation a·s to the kind of degroos which may be conferred,
ttnd at the Commencement on Juno 8, 1926, the dogree of Bachelor
of Arts was conferred for tho first time. In the t h r o e ~
yoors, this degree has been oonforrod on 33 graduates.
w.cc:

The suggostion of conferring honorary degrees has been
mado by ono or more mombers of tho Ba:. rd. It is customary at the
·commoncemont exercises of many colleges to award e fow honorery
d@Sroes to parsons who have attained to distinction in the literary
or soiontifiB world, or havo rendered conspicious public service.
This is a praotivo which the Board may considbp worthy
of adoption in regard to The Citadel. The Act of 1925 limits tho
degrees to graduates; and for some years it might be vvoll to thus
limit tho awards. Thero aro living today, two of the oldest graduates, that fast diminishing band of ante-bellum alumni, whose long
lives of usof'ulnoss and public service could fitly be recognized
<by this honor; and the faculty of The Citadel recommends to the
Bo8rd that it confer tho honorary degroo of Doctor of Lawsupon
Mr. R.o. Sams, Class of 1861, ''Oldest Living Graduate" at this timo,
and Mr. Orlando Sheppard, Class of 1865, former chairman of tho
Boerd of Visitors.
Aoademio Department.
The reports of the heads of departments indicate that
the work of t~e upper classes has on the whole been quite satisfactory, and 7n some oases much better than usu.al, In the lower
~~cssest a~d 1n the freshman class in particular, thore is still
,,ne oomp~aint that too many studBnts come to us with inadequate
preparation and also many who are not imbued with the purpose of
sorious study.
I wo~l~ recommend the promotion of Capt. Hair and Capt.
Anderson as ~dd1t1onal fuU professors in their respective de- .
partmonts, w7th tho rank of Major. Capt. Hair has been teaching in
tho ~thomatics department for tho ~ast ti.wnty yoars, He is now
associate-professor at a salary of 12500 which is supplemented by
�.......
n salary of $500 as Adjutant. Captain Anderson wus 0lcctod ton
yoars ago, and is now tho .~ \.ssociato-professor of civil engineering
at a salary of $2500. I would recommend that in tho budgot for 1930
a request bo mado to have it raised to $3000, which is tho nonnal
salary of a full professor. I would also recommend that Captain
Prouty, Registra r, ~nd Capto Phillips, head of tho department of
Business Adminis uration. both of whoso salaries woro approved at
$3000 by ·tho Logislaturo, bo promotod to tho rank of Major. I would
also reaommcnd tho designation of Captain ·r/iyers as Associoto_p rofo ssor ..
In this connection, it would soom to be a laudable action
lf the friends of tho institutiomof highor learning in the State
would try to got tho appr0val of tho General Assembly for a system
of slight increases in salary after a specified torm of years. If
it woro no moro than ton percent aftor ten yoars, it would bo an
incentive to worthy teachers and a propor recognition of faithful
service.
I havo a lotter to tho Bo~rd from Captain J.K. Coloman,
Associate-professor of History, who roquosts c year's leave of
absence in order that ho may pursue studios in rosidcnco at Columbiq University for tho degroe of Doctor of Philosophy. In conjun~tion with the head of tho dopartmont, ho submits tho namo of Mr.
James w. Patton, a graduate student at tho University of North Cnrolina, as a competent teacher to supply for him. It is comm0ndablo in
our younger professors to continue their advanced studios, 2nd I

On January 31st, last, Mr. J.R. Crouch, Class of 1899,
died by a deplorable accident in his home at Greonvillo. A Number
of years ago, Mr. Crouch gave the Board a bond for $5000 for founding a scholarship to beer his namo, and his son, James R. Crouch,Jr ,
was the first holder of it, - graduating in 1927. Sinco then, the
scholarship has been held by Cadet R.N. Simmons, n nephew of the
founder. Co.dot Simmons is just completing his junior yonr, so that
110 is due to grnducto in 1930. up·to tho prosont time, tho foos.
of the honofici~ry hevo boon paid, end no funds hnvo boon turned
over to tho Citedol for tho scholarship ondowmont. Sometime ngo
I spoko to Cndot Simmons and asked him if he h~d ony inti~tion of
Mrs. Crouoh's intontions regarding tho soholcrship, and ho later
reported to mo orolly that Mrs. Crouch had told him that it would
bo provided for in tho sottlomont of tho ostato. I transmit this
information to tho Bonrd for such notion as it may wish to t~ko.

At tho Citadel, the consistent effort to _preserve a
wholesome disciplino and roquiro systematic attention to st~dios
is one of tho most difficult of tho administrative duties. The
_public, in goneral, probably places a proper value on this kind
of disciplino, but it must bo said with regret that in too many
instancos parents wish exceptions to be macl e in the cases of thei1·
own sons, ·a nd thus render it difficult for the authorities to
preserve any discipline at all.
Tho policy, tho wisdom of which has boen confirCTed by
long oxperionco, of requiring u.ninter:i:iupt <:i c~ s t t.1e1:f-ho·1.1.rs t hrou.ghont

This wook-end period is not intondod as a closing-up
of tho collage or an interr1iption of its ordorly routine, Rnd no ·
gonora·1 exodus of students to all parts of the Stato is expected.,
But it is a remarbable fact that with modern rapid motor trans._
_portation the 'mania for travol has soizod all clements of the
population including tho students at college, and ovorywhere t .h ey
�are encountered on the roads, either nhitoh-hiking" or speeding in
their own oars, - 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,
eertainly,if this policy shall 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 Cqmm~ndant has correspondingly increased, and
the offiaers of the Army detailed to the Citadol as instructors in
mill tary scienco a ro reno.ering a great doal of sorvico not requ.ired
of thorn by tho Vv"ar Ti opa r ·tmon·b i.h tho dopar-tmont of discipline. Following tho plan in use at West Point, al l minor delinquencies are
taken up by these officers orally with tho cadots. Offenses of a
serious nature are conside r ed by the CNnm-3.ndant 1 who consul ts tho
President in all such cases.
An additional ..\rrny officer ha3 ro o.n detailed to tho
Oitadel for tho next session, Capt. Wo~~ Joffords, Jr.~ of the
Coast Artillory Corps. Efforts to get an addit:i,ona.l infantry officer
have not boon suooossful. Tho personnel of tho mj_litary dopartment

That tho gray uni form over~oat be ro~~iroQ of all cac: ets next session. Ho ostj_matos that about forty p o1• cent are now
_p rovided with tho gray, and tho old O.D. ovo:r.coats still on hand
ere worn only about tho oampu.s.

2.
That a special foe be charged cadots to cover eny general movement of tho Corps of Cadets, Sl.lch as thu trip to Orangeburg
t o tho Citadel-Carolina foot-ball game.
3.
That a complete tailor-shop bo established at tho Citadel for the manufacture of our own uniforms.

Last yoa.r, tho Board, in tho intorost of improving conditions regarding drinking at tho Citaiol, changod Pa::; .. 60.-(c)
of the Collogo Regulations to read ns follows: "Any cadet found to
bo undor tho influonce of intoxicating liquor; or found ,1n posso~sion of it as owner, will bo dism:issod. No Bppoal wi,1 1 _bo roccived or ontortainod by tho Board,'' .As this paragraph f _t;rmorly
road, tho offonso was "the drinkinB of intoxicating liqudr or having it in his possossion", which was _punishable by dismissal or
othorwise.
'
unfo~ioon contingency aroso in which cedots roportod
for being undor tho influence of liquor frankly confossod to taking ono or moro drinks, but contended th.et thdy word not under tho
influocne of it.
An
Tho Commandant thinks that the moru drinking of intoxi~
cants should oontinuo to bo an offense, although not necossorily
one to be visi tad with dismissal, and :rocommonds thct the '~original
paragraph bo restored and the substituto retained as an additional
rogu.lation.
5.
Up to the present time, no romunoration has ever boon
~iven to cadets who give their sorvicos in the Band. Tho Commondant rocommends that a stipend of $25 a year be givun to cadots
nfter two yoars service with this organization. I concur in this
recmmmendation.
6.
Tho Commandant renews his recommendation that cadets bo
permitted to smoke in quartors and in private housos, bu~ that
smo~ing in public placos be prohibited and punished. I transmit
this without prejudice.
7.
He also recommends that tho r.ostriction on card-playing
during reloaso from quarters bo romoved, but that it should remain
a minor offense during call to quartors, and that gambling remain
a more serious offonso at all times.
8.
The Commandant believes that tho timo whon cadots may
obtain class-rings is of sufficiunt importance to merit administrative control, and recommends that oadots should not bo pormittod
to woar class-rings before the beginning of tho socond somostor of
the sonior year.
I ~ soesm to bo dosireblo to mako a change in tho Regulation prescribing the torms to bo usod in granting discharges. Tho
term "honorably discharged" is at prosont used only wh€>n a cadot
is "clear in scholarship and discipline, and is not in arrears."
The omission of the qualification as to scholarship would conform
to the general collogo practice whore the accepted. moaning refers
to conduct only. This will avoid a good deal of oxplenation and
corrospondnnoe. Tho registrar's certificate as too cadet's schol~ estig credits gives in detail tho information in that particular,
ahd I would recommend that paragraph 27 be changed by omitting tho
1•oquirement of scholarship for an honorable discharge •

�surgeon's Report
With the exoeptioh of the outbreak of influenza last December, the general· health of the cade'ta during the past session has
been good. Dr. Cathcart reports that there has not been a case of a
contagious disease during :bhe yea:r, Half a do.z en cases of personal
injuries, due mostly to foot-ball, were tr aatod by the Surgeon,and
all made good recoveries. Nino other cases of serious illness, also
ma de good rocovorios.
·
The influenza epidemic all over tho country was fortunately
of a mil~ type, and out of 323 cases at Tho Citadel not a large
:!:~umber woro seriousl y ill. But with a normal bed capacity in the
.,Iary Bep.nott Murray Ro3p i t al of thirty bods, improvised accommoda- ·
t ions had to bo made a s tho epidemic .increased, until on December
12th 104 cadots were boi ng ca red for. Upon the advice of tho Surgeon, and the approval of t he Chairman of tho Board, I then furloughed the cadets, with tho exception of t~oso who wero ill,until
.January 4th. Thi.s was l a ter extended to the 9th.
·
Dr. Cathcart calls attention to the need of an additional
wing to tho Hospital in view ·of tho large size of the Corps and such
an emergency as occurred at this time.
An item in tho budgot under the head of ttmater·ials" was approvod by both houses of th~ Legislature for the purpose of soroening
all the door-s and windows in the two Barracks buildings. Unfortunate-•
ly, when the Appropriation Bill was sent to free conference a out.
of $5000 was made in this item, which makes it necessary to defer
other important work in order that the scrooning may bo completed.

Tho :t>ireotor of Cadet Affairs, Capt. McAlister, has the direct, ..
ion and suporvision of the athletic and social aotivities of the ·cadets, and dirocts the financial affairs of tho oollego publications.
His complete and intaros1ing report covers ell of these aotivi tics end. cont ains some ·i mportant recornmenda tions. Unde:t, the head
of Athletics,he writos this _paragraph which I wish to quote with approbation,and. which I 4now will be read with satisfaction by the
Bo ard:
"In a Deoombe!'. issue of the Bull Dog an article was pub:}.ished
with reference.-_to the 2ction of the Association of Educators meeting
l! t Chnttanooga,. Tenn.,rege. rding the brand of athletic ' competition in
va rious schools in the South. This article stated that this association took a vot-o to designate those schools showing the most sportsuenliko attitut\e. on athletic fields and .in athletic halls during cqntoats .• The. :report stated that The Cit adel was reted first in this
group. This·, r :think,is . the highest tribute that can bo . paid an inst·i tuti.on' s athletic activities. The question of how our toams play
is more important than the · number of games that tne teams win."

The financing of student publications hns become e matter of importanco nnd concern to all tho colleges. The consensus
of opinion seems to be th~t the college pRpcr 8nd college cnnu.ol
have become so generally nccepted a s a part of tho student activities that c foe for their support ought to be assessod on all the
students just as n fo~ for text-books.
Tho Director of Catet Affnirs recommends thet ~ foe pf ·
$3 for .o nch q_uartor -bo chnrged to onch cnc1ot for student ~ctivities,
P.nd that the first M-~talment be tho Y.M.E.A. fee which is now required, nnd that th'e;""instclmonts go to the Bull Dog and the- Sphinx
as collected. Tho amow1t is not lnrge, and will prove burdensome
to very fow, if any, so I recommend its npproval.
Captain McAlistor recommends the abolition of tho holiday in May- which h~s always been giv~n horotofore for a cadet picnic.
Tho picnic along with somo other institutions of former days, has
:••iost its di stinctivo churacter and no longer deserves a ploco on
our calondar. I concur in his recommendntion ~
Ho also points out an apparent tendency among a number
the cadets to use intoxicating liq_uors, - not to the excess, it
ifl truo, of boing "undi,ir the influence" of thorn as oonstruod under
,;110 regulations, but with as much indulgence as ce.n tie ventured upl)!l without incurring such a report. This concurs precisely with the
-_,. ~ow of tho Commandant previously presented.
0 .f
The report of the Y.M.C.A. Secretary shows that this
·,1.-ganization is soflving a useful purpose in the Corps. It gota out
:-- "handbook" annually.which is sent to oaoh incoming freshman, giv- •
1ng him a more intimate view of Gadot life, and it looks after these
r;1en on their arrival in Charleston, giving them nooessary directi.on·s and making the way easier for them at tho beginning.
In tho religious work in tho Corps, the Association is
indebted to many of the cl.argy and . laymen in 'the City who give fully
0f their time and .service.

Another interesting gift is tho diploma of our "Oldost

of tho number in this phrnso, nnd ha d cross-lined the words "<Jonfodornto States", r:nd written in by hrmd tho words "Soverign Ste.to :'

Mr. ·Honry R. Dwight, of Pinopolis, who hes a son in tho

�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 building program would still be an urgent
matter. The impression exists that we have practically a complete
plant for the number of students in attendance. Such is not the
case. It may seem strange to the uninformed that the main college
building at The Citadel has not yet been oonstruc to d, but this is
the fact. It was planned by the archit octs 3t tho beginning in 1920,
?. nd is do signud to bo tho most imposing Lt-rue>. tur 8 0n t r.F ) g.rounds.
I ~s oroction was doferrod "boc2.use at t l~1.ct, t i r.10 ti.w size of ~~ ~10 stu~cnt body was l0ss than half what it is ~aaay, aat tt0 h ff c wings

rh0y are now al together in11doq_uatc. An onumo:i.'.·ation of the deficiencies in our prosont oq_uipmont will make tho point e:-lear: ~ wclleq_uippod library is counted among:tho mof:st :.mpor"b8nt of modern
oducRtional agencies, and is considered. j_ndispo:a.sa.blc in a college
that lays any claim to scholarship and l earning. Tho inadoq_uacy of
our pros~nt oq_uipmont is so palpable that any cno would say imme~
Ciato steps ought to be taken to provide bettor facilities. A
library, howovor, is one of thoso things that roq_uiros housing and
Doom, and must wait upon a proper building. A compl0to and commodious homo for our library should bo one of tho first considerations in a building program, and it might with propriety form the
central and conspicuous foaturo of tho now Main Collogo Building.
1
Bosidos a number of administrative offices, at least
sixtoon cla.sa-rooms should bo provided in ti:lis building so that
tho ground floor of Murray Barracks, which is now entirely givon
over to academic classes, may bo givon up to tts logitimato purpose of dormitory accommodations.
An auditorium capablo of sontint-s th9 studonb-body is ·
among the important foatur0s of this b1~_i l.dingo At iJ:rrosont, · the only
place whore such an assembly can be held if'J in Alumni Hall, where
tho bleacher-seats used for the athletic contests e.re aveilbalo as
a make-shift. Our Sunday morning reliei.ous so:r;;~ -~-~1s are held. hero
now, and also our Commoncoment Exorcises~
In the basement under the pro_po sod colJ.ege Auditorium,
mu.ch-needed room can bo provided for tho on{:inocc• i ng doper'tment of
tli.e college which is now crowded in inadoq_unto q_uartors ..
Tho size and importance of this building, which very
properly has boon designed to be the crowning are.ht toctl1ral feature
of tho Now Citadel, preclude tho possi 'bili ty of ::,ny inferior or
cheap construction. Tho ostimatos of tho archi.t e~·Ls made a year
ago give tho probable cost, including t_ho Audit:orium, as $400,000.
Jn item for this amount was put in tho Citadel budget, but was refused by tho Bu.dgot Committoe, and was not pressed when the Appropriation Bill was bofore tho House and Senato. Tho roq_uosts of all
tho State colleges for appropriations for now buildings mot with
a similar fato.
�Under tho provisions of tho l~w which permit tho collogos to rotain their tuition foos, it is possible to devise a
plan by moans of which .those fC;os may bo used during tho course
of a number of yonrs to amortize a loan for the oroction of new
buildings.
In view of the uncertainty ')f g,;; ttin;; a dj_ rect appropriation from the LogislP.tu.ro at nny e3.rly 18 te f or th o oroctiof:
of our Ma in Collogo Building ? it would su.1 m to bo -:~ ho wi sc t:1.ing
to do to la y as ide tho tu.i tion foes fo e".' 2. crow y c a. :t:'~l un t i l a fund
'.J :~ at le a st n hundred tkl.ousand. dollars :.s availebl o . If this
f und can be supplemented by an appropri2tion, it i s pos sible that
our hopos may bo realized in four or five years. It is unfortuno.to that something so much noodod at t he pros ont time should
h~ve to be postponod for so long, but if no or: rlier consumation
of' our desires can bo anticipated, plans should be me.do, at least
for its future acoomplishmont.
In this connoction, the attont io-'tj. of ·i.;ho Born ~d is callod to tho effort mndu during tho last session of the Legislature
to havo the old Citadel buildings at Marion Square turned ov&r _to
tho City of Charleston. Tho pers~ns who advocated this measure
could hardly havo boon aware of tho fa~t that those buildings are
sorving nt tho prosont time an indisponsablo purposo for tho Military College& Just as tho gonoral public is unaware that the Now
Citadel still lncks its mRin college building, it is equally ignorant of tho situation e. s rogards tho housing fncilitios for its
officers and profesEoro. At the new sito, tho only buildings constructed so far for tho fac1,,1lty nro two housos, 0110 for the prosi•dent, Pnd the othor, - e four-apo.rtmont housoi - for the commendant of cadets, tho quartermaster, end the two senior professors.

The cession by thu State of e.11 t~h.e ni.::ldings at Marion

Gentlemen:
,
I h,3.v e the r.i.onor of sub mitting herewith an account
of the affairs of the Military College for the sension now
closi.ng.
The statistical information about t~ · present session is t iven in the very complete report of the Ragistrar
which is appAndecl.
ii:.
'

'~
It will be saen f rom this report that of the tot al
enrolment of 671, 1:1:G hav0 1:ioen disjcharged during the se ssi o11 1
most of whom 1 as usual. hav e been members of the freshman classo
The number cf resi g~a ticns and other c~sualties in the upper
classes have been re ma rkably small,. The senior cl2ss of 112
members has suffe1"ed a loss of only one man du.ring the . session,
-- a cadet v1ho wh ile on leave got married, and, conseq_ueutly,
not be i ng permitted to return to the Citadel, was droppede Of
the 46 casualtios, only one was dismissed for misconduct, -a r.iember of the f.!.'eshman class who exceeded the limit of a.emeritso
DISCIPLIUE.
While t h is woald appe!U" to be a remarkably good
record, it dcec nJ t men n· tha t the conduct of all the cadets
has been a bove reproauh ~ There hae be an a considerable number
of delinq_uencies fc1· wh ich the penalty could hsve been d.ismissal, -- which put1isb.m3~t 1 in times _pnst~Light have , been admi
istered, -- but ths ~e have been treated as cases capable of
punishment at tho c..:;~_lege without having to expel the c ade ts,.
Cases of drinki nr:; h.1v er.1 nnfortunate1y, not been uncommon; but
the de gree of in~oxio Atio n hes varied from slight to decidedly
notice able, without in any case being ~, c a se of r.iat1d lin d rur:.kenne ss. These case:J J'.lm•e be :-rn pu.nished by awarding the maximum
number of dem8ri t 8 : 10 : and confining t he cadets to barr acks ·
fo r ps~i0ds cf tw0 or throe mcnt ha, and tours every Sat urdayD
Overstaying l cavo, Gnd going on le$ve without a~thority havP

are serving confinemen i:i s, On the whole, a fair jud.gment of ·;:;:-.,,,.
discipline during the session might be that it is quite as
good, if not better, than usual.
CURRI CULUJ'-1: .
The scholastic records will also show that tha~e
are _s till many deficiencies in the lower clas s Bs, d.ue to fanl~y

The present coursea in the freshman class are
mathematics ( higher algebrR and trigonometry) , physics, F:-ench t
Eng lish, and hist ory,. It. is proposed. to post pone the cours e in
phy sics to tha so pr.c m01·e claE:s, and substitute for it a :i::' •:"; ~Ti Av:
c ,,u.rs8 in e::..ement a r y algebra a s tha pro per p rep::.ration for the
work in physics, which is largely e study of a p plied mathenw.tics..,
Wh:i.1e twc years work in high s0hocl algebra is
required for a d mission to our ft'eshman class, j_t often h2ppen~
tha t this \'/!Ork has bo&n done j_n the first two yet.us of the h::gh
school cours8 , and the stud en t go6s to college without having
stndied any algebra fer tl:1.e two preeeding years., For any satis-factory work in a scionee lik e physics, a fair proficiency in
tho use of Rl g ebra~ g ao metry, and t:.1igonometry is essenti8lo
The faculty aleo recommends ths t the curriculum of the sophomore cl ass be lightened by pa~ mitting studen ts to drop · either the
course in history or the 001..1.rse in mechanical drawing, both of
which are now rc quir9d in that year.
It is ho ped that the adoption of these two ch~nges
will diminish the number of failur~s in the two lower clazses&
AP?ROPRIATION BY LEGISLATURE.
Last January v1hen the Citadel budget was sunmi tted to the Le g islFJ.ture, it contairied estimates which c a lled for
en a ppropriation of $ 232,954077. As fin 3lly passed, the Bill
made an sppropriation of $203,092.14, &~owing a cut of 13 per
cent.
While aaknowledgment must be made that the Legislature dealt generously with the Citadel as a general rule in
the item of s a laries, there were some small cuts in the salaries
of the assist a n~-professors which I feel sure would not have
been made if the me mb e::-s of the Gei10ral . '\ ssembly had been fully
aware of the merits of the cases.
I inf er that the principle on which these cuts were
made was that no i .n j a stice would. be a.one the assistant-professors
if their salaries we ~e no t reduc ed, and that the economic conditions in the Sta t;e-caTloo ..T"or-no in c reases not warranted by
special cons ide r oti.on s .. The effe c t ho wever, wa s to nullify t~1.e

tbe Qua rter me st er i n thi s way : Th8 s s si stan t- profe ssor wa s beg inn i ng his fo u..1". t h yr; e, r of s e r v ic e on Sep t embe r 20th, 1929 1 e t

It ma y be contended that the refusal to provide the
small i n cr:.e.as e wo r ks no injustice to the tea ch.;:r, since his sala -•
ry is not decre ased , bu t k ept at the s ame fi gure tha t it wa s f er
the year 1929 0 This is true, but actuelly, in working ou t, an
ano·malous condition was cre a ted. R9forring still to i tern No. 28,
this a ssistant- pro f essor drew a monthly s al s r y of $177n50 fro m
September 20th to Dece mb er 31st, 1929, vmich wa s authorized end

This case is typic a l of the 8SsistBnt-profes s ors.
I cannot believe that the Leg isl8ture will insist

The athletic activities for the season now closin g show an\ inco me and expe:1di ture of ove1" $40,000. The financial statenent of Jhe Bu11 Dog, (the college paper), shows receipts of $2200 , and of the Sp.h inx, (the colle ge annual), of
$7118. The Class Fund for social entertainments a mounts to
~3200 , and the Cadet Canteen does a busin~ss of about $1~,000
a year.
The agg re gate of these figures snows that the Director
of Cadet ..-\ffeirs loc!rn after t he expe nd iture of about $65,000
annually for non-colle gi ate activities of the cadets.
It seems clear to me that the College has the
res ponsibility of seeing af ter these activities, and that the
Legislature might well provide the sa lary for the officer f or
that purposeo
The salary of Capt. Mc.Alister, the Director of
Cadet Affairs, was paid by the State for t he months of January,
February, and March of this yeare It will be necessary to provid e the salary for the bal2nce of the year for wh ich he was engag ed, -- up to Se ptember 20 th, -- from fees collected from pay
cadets. It is i mp erat iv e , also, in my judgment, that this officer be retained f or the next sessiono I wouli , therefore, ~0co mmend the re-election of Captain McAlister at his present salary
of $ 2400 f or the next college year, and that his salary be paid
from the proceeds of the matriculation-fee of $5 .00 to be char 6 ed
each cadet ne x t y0ar"
The reduction in ap propriations req_u ested for
other college purposes is also a matt~r of serious concern. It
is not feasib le to cut the wages of servan ts, or the number of
them, twenty-five per cent (as was done) without impairing the
efficiency of the in s titution. Whether we can pay for the necessary amount of coal, water rents, ligh-t consumption, and oth;;:;r
indispensable supplies on the reduced budge t is a q_uestion which ·
the Quartermaster must attempt to solve.
A provisi on i n t he .Appropriat i on Bill re~uires
t he State colle ges to dep osit with t he State Treasurer the tuition fees collecte d during t ~e cu rrent year. r his provision
states that " this fu.nd shall be held in tru s t by the State Treasurer to the cre d it of th e institution and shall be paid out and
exp ended for permanen t i mp rove ments or other purposes on the order of the Bo 8rd of Trustees subject to t he approv~l of the State
Finance Co mmittee."
On .April 24th, the Quartermaster of the Citadel
paid to the State Trea Stuer $9480, being th G tuition fees coll oc t'"
ed s-ince Janua ry 1, 1930 , and the recei pt of the Tre as urer is
in hand. About $800 was later added .
Tho tuition fees collected l0st year and deposited
in the savin g s dep artm'2nt of the Carolina Savings Bank a molmta 1
with the interest , to $22 , 405.64.
It "flfill be see n that the total 4.moun t now avo.i J.~
able for the Main Colle ge Bu ilding , which is t :-.. e ne:x t obj ecti vu
in the buildin g pr ogram at the Citadel, is about ~$32 ,6 85 • .ii s
the estimated uost of thi s building is about $25 0,000 , it is
evident that a l arger income fr om tuitj_ or,_ fees must be ob"va ii:,=:d
if our plans are to be 1·ealized in the ne xt t, s n ye8r s. Eaisin{;
the tuition charge frcm $40 t o $100 a year for oaC ets ou t side 0f
the State will p:::·obably incre&se the annua l i rw oT18 f ro m ·fa is
source to at least $25 ,000, and it seems rA8Scn~ble the~ef0rs to
expect that by JanLrnry 1934, the b·_li l d j_ng fu~ .u mey reach a t o ta l
of $125,000, -- ha2..f the a rr:ourit neo 0 8dc- If the ::Z,c g islatu~·e will

!
�is urgently needed in the present year~ 1930, it would seem to
be the part of wisdom to make plans even for a remote future
rather than to mak e none at all, and to trust that good fortune
may expedite in scme unexp~cted way the realization of our hop &s.
::i:he ce nsu.s of the Cit adel taken in .April sho~Ns that
thirty-three off icers ara living at the Old Cit adel, who with the
members of their f a miJ ies make a total of ninety-five persons occupying the buil.ding3 at 1.larion Square.
r her8 are five separate buildings composing the
group which is known a s the Old Citadel. The large c entral quadrangulc r bu ilding is the hi storic nci ta d,al II which vvas fir~t occ11pied just a hund red years &goo It was them only two stories
hi()'h -- the third story being i:.dded in 1849 and the fourth not
untii 1910 .. At ·che p:.:e sont time~, the medical w1i t of the National
Guard occupies the front rooms·on the ground floor of this building, and officers use other rooms as garageso 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 Ea st 'tving is Blso totally deserted and in
its present condition uninhabitable, no re pairs having been made
for many yearso The three other buildings, however, -- the West
Wing: the King Street Extension, an d the Meeting Street Extension~

for the great majority of Citadel officers, -- the present quarters for officers at the new Citadel being limited to fiv~ a partments, and there f ore entirely inade q_uate to accommodate a faculty
of more than forty professors~

The problem of furnishing g_u3rters to m2.rried officers is already n difficult one, 2nd is becoming more so each
year as the bnchelor professors mak0 plans for entering the ma trimonial estate. In tha summer of 1928, we fitted up two ~dditional
sets of quarters a t tho Old Citadel, 3nd in 1929 two more. Owing
to the reduction in the appropriation for maintenance, it does
not appear possible to make c.ny additions this summer, although
it would be desi ra ble to do so.
The desired ulti mate solution of the problem is
of course, the buildi ng of r de q_uate quarter's on the cRmpus of the
new Citadel for All tho officers of the coll ege. In thd me antime,
however, the nec essity for the Board to ret a in control of the
buildings at Marion Square, probably for many years, is very evi~

approv al of the Chinese government, he has done a notable wrnrk
in the organization on the island of Tai Kam of a colony for
Chinese lepers. He is not only a preacher, but a g reat administrator and a scholar, who is worthy of any honor which his Alma
Mater may wish to bestow upon him. i:i.1he 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 him at
this Commencemento

Professor Mccants, bes:li.des being a veteran school

His latest book, 11 Nin ety-Six 11 , is not only an informing his t orical
novel dealing with the Revolutionary period, but is a delightfQl
piece of literature.
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 that these sons of
the Citadel are all . worthy of the highest reco gnition their Alma

CHANGE IN COLLEGE YEAR .
For the past few years, it has been found advisable, due to the ti me for holding the R.O.T.C. camps, and other
summer activities, to advance the date for our Commence ment, which
was ordinarily set f or the second week in June, to the fir·st weeko
This seems desirable as a permanent policy, and conforms to the
custom of most of thd othe r colleges. The curtailment of a week
at the end of the s ession should, howev a r, be balanced by a corrdsponding advancement of the beginning of the session by one week,
in order that the session may not be diminished below the re q_uired number of weeks worko '.::he a pproval of the Board is asJced for
this change.
The fotlowing assistant-professors, def:liring to
pursue advanced university courses, ask the Board to gi ve them
a y ear's leave of absence on condition that they obt i:, in a compe tent substitute acce ptab le to the head of the departmont and the

MILITARY DEPARTMENT.
The report of Lieut.-Golonel Wme C. J1Iiller, Pro-:-~fessor of Military Science and Tactics and Command.ar.t of Cadets,
shows that the military department is in a very satisfactory
condition. The ar.inual 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."
Among the reco mmendations 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 regu.l~tion against smoking is constantly being 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: -"I believe that from all standpoints it will be advan·tageous to
permit cadets to smoke in their roomsft I do not recommend that
cadets be permitted to smoke on the galleries, in the recreation rooms, or in any place outside of their rooms except in
private residences when invited by their host to do so."
He believes that tho punishmBnt for s moking outside of barracks or in any IJUblic place should be rather severe,
but should not exceed seven demerits and 25 confinements for
one offense.
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 a pproval of the Commandant's
recommendation may help discipline. I therefore submit it to
the Board for their consideration.
I transmit, also, for the Boar"d's consideration
some other recommendations of the Go :.nmandant, about whj_ch tb.8
members of the Board may have definite views of their ownp 2nd
may perhaps wish to take action.

Add to cade t f ees the c.o st of transporta tion to ahi
from the Citadel-Carolina game at Orangeburg.
At the time of this game there is a great deal of
traffic on the roads between h ere a nd Orangeburg, a considerable
part of which is under the control of drivers who are r e ndered
irresponsible by liquor or fast driving and I beli eve it is unwise
to permit cadets to go and return by a utomobile under conditions
which expose them to accident. In t he past cade ts have been advised, in ample time, that they will be required to get the affirmative consent of t h eir parent or guardian to go by automobile
{the permission usually states athrough the country"}, but many of
them wait until the last minute and produce statements which are
open to the suspicion of being spurious and th ere are usually some
cadets who go by automobile without authd>rity 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 .c an 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 here proposed. The cost of
the trip is ~~2 .00 railroad fare, 14¢ trolley fare, total ~') 2 .14.
Another feature worthy of consider ation is that of
keeping control of the Corps of Cadets during its absenc~ from the
Citadel. The seniors have been permitted in the past to go to
Orangeburg the ni e;ht before the game and other cadet s have arrived
in Orangeburg by automobile begtnning about 8:00 o'clock in the
morning and have remained as late as 11:00 P.tr., and there have
been complaints of an indefinite nature which have r eached me alleging that cadet s have misbehaved themselves in Orangeburg. By
arrangi~g the trip to Orangeburg so t hat the cadets will arrive on
the field about 11:30 A. tr . and form f or departur e about 5:00 P.M.,
arriving and departing in a body, the exposur e 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 nec e s s ity 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 gr-ant a spring furlough.
During February, March and April there were 239
cadets who went on furlough for reasons which app e ared to be satisfactory; most of these reasons were backed up by letters or telegrams from parents or guardians. It was impracticable to investigate all these requests from parents or guardians, but a number
were so investigated and a considerable number were found to be for
causes which were deemed insuffici ent for granting a leave of absence although the -Original statement from the parent or guardian
would create the impression that t h ere existed an emergency for
which a leave should properly have been granted. I believe that
probably in the majorit y of cas e s the parents are interested in
having their sons come home during the spring. Ther e is always
manifested every spring a spirit of unrest which is very apparent
in the military department and is probably apparent in the academic
department. I believe that there is no doubt that the ~uality of
the work in the academic department as well as the military department will be materially improved.
�JO
3hould a spring furlough be granted I recommend
that it be for a period, of one week and that it begin after the
work is completed on the We dnesday before Easter and extend until
class call on the f ollovling Vi/'edne sday so that there will be
academic instruction both immediately before ahd immediately
after such a furlough, Vihich would tend to cliscourage extensions
being sought at eith er end of the furlough.
I believe that this matter is of suf f icient importance to justify beginning the school year earlier. Should this
for any reason not be pr a ctical it mi g ht 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 a t tendant loss of time in the military department
could be made up by an additional hour of .drill on e ach week day
for the same period.

All cadet danc e s to be on Cit adel grounds •
.l t present the larger hops, of which there are some
four or five during the yeur, are held at Ashl ey Park outside the
Citadel grounds • •'!.t this place control is much more difficult th a n
at the gymnasium, the civilians feel less r estr oint. there than they
would at the Citadel and in a ddition cadets go outside the building
at Ashley Park more freely than they do a t the gymnasium;. the result
is that there is a grouter tendency on the part of both civilians
and cadets to use intoxicating liquors at Ashley Park than is the
case at the Cit a del.
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 pre sent the bleachers are used by cadets
for seats a t chapel, but if thetr use can be l e ss ene d tnere will be
added a dignity to tho c hapel exercises which is nn-e now the c a se
due to tho droppinG of books from the bleacher s to the floor and the
general feeling of l a ck of di gnity on account of sitting on bleacher
seats; this stateme nt with r egard to chapel exercises is not intended t o introduce a new subje ct, but to indic a te that the removal of
the bleacher seats for the purpos e o f t h ese lnre;er hops will not
interfere with the chapel exerci se s.
f.
Hops to end not later than 1:00 A.M.
Hops now extend until two o'clock, after which
cadets with ladies are g iven an hour to t ake their ladi e s home and
return to the Citadel; this brings them ba ck to the Citadel at or
about 3: 00 A.Id . and rosul ts in the cadets being exhausted the next
day due to lack of sl ee p. In looking after the welfare of the
cadets I do not think it fair to them to authorize a practice which
permits such exhaustion.
Such dissipation on these occasions naturally leads
to other dissipations nt the same time and encourages dissip a tion
at other times.
At the Military Academy danc es do not extend beyond
midnigh1;. I am sure that the hops of t h e Citadel cadets will be a s
enjoyable if they begin earlier and end earlier, a nd there will be
eliminated to some extent the objectiona ble f ea ture above referred
to.
With hops ending o.t one o'clock the danc e leave to
take young ladies home would extend until 2 :00 A,H.

Provide ex tra pny f or the pers onnel of this
department.
The personnel of the military department is detailed
at the Citadel for the performance of certain duties in connection
with the R.O.T.C. tr aining which includes the training at drills
and supervision thereof and the 0r e tic al instruction in certain subjects prescribed by t he ·wa r Department. Beyond these duties the
officers assist mat eri ally in discipline and a syst em of discipline
has been built up wi t h the se of f ic ers as th e ba ck bone of the system;
they devote approxirn.a t el y on e half of t h eir t ime to disciplinary
matters and the pr e parati on of memorandums, sumetimes o. t my direction, sometimes of t he ir own initiative, requiring the devotion of
time at ni r;ht at t he ir quarters. As a rule these officers are on
duty at the Citadel fr om e i Ght o'clock in the morning until approximately 4: 00 P .~I. every day and I have to require · them to take
time off on one week dny aft ernoon for recrea tion to ke ep themselves
in proper physical condition.
These of t ic er s have r e nde red a nd will continue to
render loyal and f a ithful s ervice in this work, and this is not in
any sense intended a s a thr eat that they may decline to do this
work, because such is not the case I am making this rec ommendation
because the offic ers ar e performing the work and it se ems to me appropriate that t heir s ervices should be recognized. The amount of
the compens a tion is relativ ely unimport a nt.
h.
Authori z e appointment of cadet serg eants as well as
cadet of f ic ers from the senior class, and corporals from the junior
O"lass.
At pr e s e nt it is prescribed by par agraph 39 College
Regulations that in ge ner al cud.et off icers will be taken from the
senior class, ser g eonts fr om the junior class, and corporals from
the sophomore cl ass.
~ he advant age s of t he propos e d recommenda tions are
believed to be a s follou s:
(1)
gr eater share of
of Cadets, which
sibility and fit
-Officers Reserve
The memb er s of the senior class will be given a
responsibility in t he militc1I'y control of the Corps
will tend to develop in them a response to responthem bet t e r for their duties as members of the
Corps.
( 2 ) Impr ove discipline by elimina ting the pr esent
system of having membe rs of lower classes senior in military rank
to a large percentage of t h e senior class and required to enforce
discipline ·with reg ar d. to these privates of the s enior class,
while at the s ame time t hes e members of t he lowe r classes a t times
find themselves subordina te to these same priv a tes of the senior
class when the lat t e r are d etailed as company commanders or officers
of the guard; such a s hifting of r el a tive rank natur ally impairs
discipline.
The disadvantages of the proposed system are believed
to be:
(1) J uniors advancing to t h e senior class would in
some cases move from the grade of corporal to th o grade of major
and captain. I believe this is not an especially important objection.
�( 2 ) 'I'he quality of th~ higher non-commissioned
officers would not be of such a h igh charact er coming from the
middle of the s enior class •o.s r10uld be the case if tuken from the
most efficient men of t he junior class, I believe that this would
be overcome by the increased prestige of the sergeants being
seniors, and from my observation this year o.fte r havi ng used them
as instructors I be liev e that the seniors of the miclcUe class will
develop proportionnte ly to their res ponsibilities.
( 3) Result in complete change ir~ t ~10 eorn.ma.nd of
stafr groups each year without juniors hav ing been in the grade of
serge ant and understudying t hese groups. It i s my belief that this
objection is more apparent than real.
(4) In case it should become des irable to return to
the present scheme there might be an unfavorable r ea ction in the
new senior class due to the ir feeling that they had been :,martyred 11
by having ;;ri ghts,; taken from t hem. Should this be come necessary
it would be cared for by the milit ary system of the school.
It is my opiniGn that the advantages of the proposed
~cheme de cide dly outTie igh the dis a dva nt age ~. I do not r e commend,
however, that the change be directed now but that the President and
Commandant be authorized to make the ch ange if in their judgment it
appears wise. I expe ct to go to Wes t Point next month and I -rm uld
like to conf er with the of f icers of the t a ctic al department at that
institution to determine their observation in the succ e s s ·of this
proposed scheme th a t is now in use there.
i.
Increase the numb er of d eme rits to 20 0 for all
clo.sses.
Paragrnph 5, C0lle,ge Regulations pr c35 cri bes the numb er of demerits ullo He d a ll classes as 130 for s eniors, 150 for
juni0rs, 1 ?O f or sophomores , and 200 fo r freshmen.
This r e conm.e nda tion is ma de fo r the reason that under
the pr esent administr a t i on of dis ci pline in the military dep artment
most of the demerits Hhich cadets receive c ome from reports entered
by tactical offic er s (officers of the mi litary department in charge
of the c omp ani e s) and these r eports a r e entered without r egard to
academic cl as s , The present system was adopted when mo~t of the r ep6rts were entered by cade ts. There u ill na turally be nore reports
entered aga inst freshmen dur i ng the early part of their attendance
at the Citadel, but this is taken ca.re of by a t wo-thirds r e duo ti on
in the numb er of their demerits ofter they have been at the Citadel
for two months.
I boliove that the propos e d system wil+ be f nir or to
the cadets nnd. will result in mor e efficiency in th,e turning in of

It is important that th e limit of demeri t s b e placed

organizationc If ei"tih6r R.O.T.C. unit should preponderate in numbers, it seems likely that an adverse effect ~ould be producid in
the morale of tha smalJ. er unit~ It appears that in the R.O.T.O.
colle ge s generally t hro ugr~out the country , that there is a considerable exc0ss of infa ntry unitsi with the result that more
Infantry Reserve Office .rs are being graduated than are needed,
and that there is a cor:res vond ing deficit in the number of Coast
Artillery reserve officers needed. Intimations have been received that it is the desire of tho \'l ar Department that more of the
cadets at the Citadel be enrolled in the Coast Artillary Unit,
the close proximity of this institution to the coast defenses on
Sulli11Tan's Island r.iaking it specially suitable for instruction
in this branch of the servico~ If an unequal ~ivision 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 accord with the policy of the War Department,which
favors a reduction rather than an increase in the number of different units at 3ny particular institution.
1
-For this reason, no encou.ragement has boen given
to the proposal for th~ establishment of a cavalry unit at the
Citadel, -- a subject that has been ta1cen up fruitlessly with the
War Department several times in the past eight years.
Similarly, the Department does not consid er favorably the establishment c;,t· a unit of the .Air Corps at the Ci tad el.
Geuo Fechet, Chief of that service, aays that
"consideration is being given now to the advisability of discontinuing Air Corps R.O.T.C. unitsn, and states further that 11 the
establishment of mili tar·y flying training uni ts at civilian institutions of l earning is not considered f easible or practical at
present."
The Government, however, is anxious for graduates
from institutions like the Citadel to attend the Air Corps flyi~g
schools, where they are trained not only in th0 art of practical
flying, but are taught allied "ground subJ0ctsn, such os tho construction of air-plane motors, aerodynamics, aerial navigation,
meteorology, etc.
Gon. Fcchet says; 11 '.rhe establishment of ldr Gorps
R.O.T,C. units a t institutions of learning is ccnsiderod unnecessary duplication ~s long as the Air Corps already hes an ovorage
of non-flyers in the reserve. I should, however, lika to have
your graduates enlist as flying cadets in tho Air Corps to be
commissioned in tho Air Corps Reserve upon completion of the flying ca det course."
It is taken for granted that even if the Citadel
should confine its R.O.T.C. work to that of a Coas t .Artille:r uni·::;
this need not, and should not, interfere with the necessary infantry instruction to preserve the present organizatir,n of the
corps as two battalions of infantry for purposes of ceremonies.
Du.ring the past session, we have received a nu1r.bc-:::
of distinguished officers with special reviews, and the Frid Ry
afternoon dress parades have always been largely attended by t~1--:
interested citizens and visitors to the 8ity.

there has been less illness and fower serious oases then in an~
previous year." With the exoeption of five oases of appendicit1; ,
there ha"'-been no serious surgical operations, and contagious
diseases, under the effective system of isolation carried out in
the cadet hospital, hav ~ boon confined to four oases of mumps
am two of Vincent's angina.
The oxoellent facilities of the Mary Bennett
Hospital, and the -eompotent sorvic1:1s of the Surgeon and
nurses. are sources of tho greatest satisfaction in the assuranbe which we can give to parents that at the Ci tad el the phY'- ··
sioal welfare of their sons is amply looked after, and that we
oelieve that they are safer with us than they would boat the
own homes,

CADET
ACTI VITIES
The 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 noto tha t other cadet
act tvities have done wo.rth-while work during the past session.
Several me~bers of ~he Round Table, in particulart are worthy ~f ·
mention. Cadet Cooksey, president of this literary organization,
was a ~so president of the South Carolina Intercollegiate oratorical ~ssooiation this year. In the State oratotioal contest held
at Ro~k Hill a few weeks ago, the Citadel r epresentative, Cader
H.E. ~il ton, took second place, sp o13king on the subject ttThe
Blao.t egend." The Citadel had two debating teams which engaged
in con sts with Wofford, Presbyterian, l;'urman, and tha College
of Charl\aston • .Among the subjects of J>'Ul>lie interest studied a d
debated ~ ve been such topics as The New .tlumanism, Ivie ss Education,
Pro"hibi tin, Disarmament, and the Negro Q.Udstion.

THE'CITADEL.
ARCHIVES AND MUSEUM
The Citadel ,
The Military College of South Carolina
Charleston.
M:ay 25, 1931
To the Board of -Visitors of The Citadel,
Gentlemen:
I have the honor to present herewith an account of the
affairs of t he Mili ta :cy Calleg e for the session now drawing to a
close.
The enrolment for the session was 624, which was a
falling off of 47 f rom the attendance last year, and 98 less than
the record attendance of 722 four years ago. The Registrar 1 s
statistical report v1 b. ich is at .t ached gives a large amount of infor mation which the _Board will find of interest.
The distribution of cadets according to classes g ives
the following fi gures: Seniors, 130; Juniors, 123; Sopho mores,155;
Freshmen, 216. · The senior class is the largest in the history of
the institution, just as four years ag o it was the largest freshman class that ev ~r .e ntered The Citadel, numbering 358 men.
During the session, there have been 43 casual ties,
accounted for as follows: honorably diacharged, 28; dropped, 12;
res~gned, l; sus pended, l; died, 1.
The death was · that of Cadet w.B. Bramlett, beneficiary
cadet from Laurens County, a member of the senior class, who succumbed to an a ttack o:f pneumonia on February 5th. Two other members
of this class were forced by illness to abandon ths ir studies for
this term, but expect to return ne xt year and complete the course.
These are Cadet J".R .. Barnwell, of York, and R.B. Hill, of Ti mmonsville.
By far · the largest numb a r of our casualties occur in
the freshman class, the Re g istrar's record showing a "mortali tyn
of over 40 per cent in the class on the average during the last
five years. Th is is the familiar cry of all the colleges, and
is due in large measure to insufficient preparation and to a lack
of serious purpose on the part of the young men who come to college .
A year ago, so me modifications of the curriculum
were submitted to the Board and approved looking towards a decrease in the number of failures. The freshman course in physics
calls for a fair grounding in algebra and geometry, - subjects
required for ad mission to coll<,ge and supposed to be given with
some · thor~ugb.ncss~ in tho high schools. As a matter of fact, the
tests given to-£'reshmen in those subjects revoals a lamentable
ignorance o~ the part of tho most of them. our faculty felt impelled to abandon tho course in ph~sics in the freshman class, anc
to do fer it unti 1 the st.u dents could obtain some groundwork in
e].o mentary ma t ~10 matics. In pursuance of this object, t wo threohour courses in mathematics have beon givon this session in tho
freshman class, - onG boing a review · courso in elementary mathematics instead of the physics course, and the other the re gula r
freshman courso · in trigonometry, h~.~· her algebra, and solid ge omo -try. Another c hange was dropping one course in the rather heavy
schedule of t ~1.e so p~1o mol'c Cl [; Sijl' allo\;rinc (1 o h 6 i GO ~ be t,voe-n t~1.e
course in mechanical drewing r ( roquired of all students intend:l. nc
to el&ot engineering courses J, and one in history. The resul ts
ne:xt year will show whether our hopes of a decided i mprouemen+,
are justifted ..

In this connection, meu-tion should be made of the ·
necessity for a<lding eq_ui_pment from year to year to the scientif:i r·
de partments. The cost of materials for experimentation in the
various laboratories is coverud by foes charged to the cadets t&J-•.
ing the courses, but t i:.e colle ge is oxpectecl to provide the oq_ui 1-·
ment and apparatus,. For the past two years the appropriation
Prante d · by the Leg is la t ure has not permi ttoJ any outlay for this
purpose, and the heac~s of do partments aro calling attention to
their needs, which must be lookod after if their work is not to
suffor.
The Citadel Library has boen tho object of criticism
by the Commission of High0r Institutions of the Southern Association bot h E\ S to facili tios ana. c:xpondi turc par student, which
they say 11 is the s mallest of any institution roporting to us". The
first criticism will be re moved when wo are able to move into tho
q_uart e rs now being fitted up in tho now Ad ministration Building.
As to the sma 11 oxpendi turc made for up-lcoop, no immediate remedy
is in si c ht, unless it be to Rdd anot her itom to tho foos charged
the cadots. We have only one Librarian, whose salary is $1200,
the req_uest for an increase to $1 8 00 and the employment of an
assistant being refused by tho -Legislature. The total annual outlay for periodicals, bow books, anQ su pp lies is only $ 1000.
·
During tho past year, 4 3 2 volumes have -been added to
tho library by purchase and by gi f ts·of friends. The total number
of volumes at the present timo is 10,143, oxclusive of Government
Documents.
AUDITORIUM.
The lack of a place of asse mbly where the entire corps
of cadets can be gatherad at one ti me is rJ i r e ttablc for several
reasons. At the Old Citadel, whore t ho student-body did note~ceod two or three hundrec1 , t he entire ca det corps could be soated
in the Cha pel, and t he re wa □ a daily a ssembly of tho cadets for
religious oxerc is~s, lectures by tho Sup~ rintendent or invited
speakers, and tho reading of ard ors or ann ouncements. This practice of a daily cb.a _pu 1 a sse mb ly was continue d fo1 some years at the
new Citadel until t ho size of tho corps increa □ ed beyond the limits of any available s pace wh i ch could bo used for the purpose. At
the present timo, s. brief oxorcise is conducted daily by tho - •• _.
Y. M.C • .A. Secretary in the !.fess Hall at breakfast, and a Sunday morning sorvico is hold in .A lumni Hall, the cad ots being soated on
the bl~acher seats usod by the public who gather to witness tho
baskot-ball or boxing contests of the cadets. The Sunday services
are conducted usuallf by ministers of the various Protestant denominations of the City , it not b0ing feasible to send Cadets several
miles to churc hes in the City.

An adeq_uate ·Auditorium where lectures, addresses, and
conca~ts could be given, where chapol e:xorc i ses, rclieious services, and other student assemblies held., and. where Commencement
exercises a nd other public f unctions conducted is considered ono
of the i mportant buildin~s on evary college campus, and it is onn
of the pressing nee ds at the Oitadol at this time.

APRROPRIATION BY TRE LEGISLATURE.

The discuszt on on t ha Appropriation Bill in the House
developed an unexpected op 9osition t o the educational programs of
the State colle ges. Not only were t he items for maintenance severP.•·

the retention of fees for ..-,-ermanent i mp;r 0 ve ments were int1~oduced

Tho details · in ci:::.nnoction with the new building are .k.ncw,.1
to most me mbers 0.1. the Boa.r d bu.t ·are recapitulated here ~or· rer::0 1•{i ~
Last s u m:::1 er, when the Board undertook the const!'ucti on
of the New Administration Building, it was estimated that the ccs . .~
mi g ht not e ~coe~ $125,000, in view of the low prices for labor sn~
materials. U.nd or an Act of 1926, permitting the Stat0 00:i..le g es to
retain tho_ir tuition fees f or p ermanent improvements, t he Citadel
had accu mulated a s r,1all fund; v1hicb.,supplomonttd by tho · tuition
foos for tho session 1930-31, vl0ulc1. aminu.nt to about $ 58,000. The
Board, therafore, made for mal epplic o.tion to tho State Finance C-ommi ttee for autlj.ori ty to put up t ~1.is building and tb supplement its ·
available funds with a loan of' $7 5, 00 0 fro~ t he SirJd.ng Fund Commission, which would be re pa i d wi th into I·est fro m -~h e tuition fees
to be collected be g inn i ng wi th t ho session of 1 931-32, The approval

for the sum of ~~ 1 23 , 650., Other bi d s f o::1 t h e work ran up to about
$150,000, and it vms gen.;: rally consi d r;r e d that the Citadel was very

The s mall surplus of $437 .50 Will bo increased from tuition fees now d uo but not yet collected, so that it is expected
that the steel book -~tacks for the library may be installed bafore
the new build ing is co mpleted.
In ordar to r e pay the loan of $75,000 made to us by the
Sinking Fund 0ommission, our tuition fees beginning with the ne :Y."t
session, 1931~32, are pled ged to the Co mmission. With an inco me cf
$25,000 a year from tuitions, - which seor.1s a fair estimate fro m
our · exparience and prese n t knowledge~ - this loan, with the in-terest, should be paid back by December, 1934, Q three and a half y e aT ~
from now.
The appropria t ion for maintenance, $29.?81.32, is al~ogether inadequate to meet the necessery expenso of running tho c o'L ·
lege. Last year, the a mount appropriated for this ·. purpose was
$52,236; which shows that a cut of more than 43% ,.-,as m.2.de in tho
�I'
items for contractual se-rvioes, supplies, fixed charges, material s i
and equipment. With tb.e most rigid economy there wi 11 be a defic j_·:,
t his year of at least $15,000 which can be met only by increasing
the charges to cadets. The authority of the Board is therefore
asked for increasi ng the maintenance fee for all cadets f rom $48
to $72, to be paid in qua r terly instalments of $18 each. This will
reduce · t he clothin g allowance of beneficiary cadets from $50 a ye t~J:
to $26, and t he s cholars hips {which are worth $260 a year) will be
a pport i one d.. as follows:
For board, nine mont hs at $18 per month,
For room, heat, li ght, water, laundry,hospital,
For clothing,
$ 162.00
72.00
26. 0 0
$260.00
DEFICIT.
While the increase in t he maintenance f ee will probably
ena ble us to me-et e xpenses be gi nn ing no:x t session, it does not ·
provi de for tho deficit of the first half of this calendar year,
since the red uced le gislative a ppropriation is effe ctive since
,January first, and the increased fee cannot beco me eff ective until
t ·ho; no-:xj; .sos:sion in Se p te mber. The Quartermaster estimates t hat in
consequence we s hall have a deficit of about ten thousand dollars
f or the year 19 31.
REPAIRS.
One of t he most serious cuts in the Citadel bud get was
t he item of $ 5,000 f or re pairs.
The pro pert y inventory of t he Citadel at the present
ti me s hows buildings of a value of $ 1, 542 , 0 0 0, 3nd of equi pment of
a value of $ 193 ,000. It may not be a dvisable that the Old Citadel
at Marion Square, whi c h is l a rgely use d now as officers quarters, over thirty f amilies livine in it, - shou l d be kept in repair at
groat cost, but so me work must be d ono on it to make it habitable
at all. Even at the Ne w Citadel, a certain a mount of repairs is
necessary. The small allowance of only one parcont annually for
re pairs vvau ld ca ll for an approp1"iation of $17 1 359. Last year the
a mount actually e xpended f or t his purpose was ~14,256. This year
no appropriation whatev er is allowed f or re pairs in the State college budgots, the .Act stating t hat they were to bo taken care of
out of the tuition fees ret8ined by the colleges. As our tuition
fees are pled ged to the Sin.king Fund Commission for tho next three
and a half years, it is a serio~s matter what is to be d ono for the
necessary up-keep of the property of the State. The only r(scourse
se ems to be to the Sta tots Contingent Fund for s uch amounts as are
absolutely necssary to prevent the property o:f the State from suffering serious deterioration. I would respectfully suggest to the
Board t he advisabili tjr of ado pting so me resolution to be ser..t to
the Governor on t his matter.
Since the Citadel at the present time is without any
f unds applicable to repairs, it seems necessary that the Boa r d
should make a require ment that the expense of repairs in the q_uarters of the officers must be borne by the officers occupying t ~v~n .
If t ho policy of the State towards its institutions
of higher learning is that they sh.a 11 be largely se lf-support i r:;: ,
and req_uire only s mall le gislative a p~ropriations, ~he ~ost to :' .~c
students must nec essarily be -greatly increased. This wi ll Y.'e ~ L. -:
in tho e lin1ina tion of a 11 student s but tho se whoso parents e:. ~:-c
wo 11-to-do and the poor boy wi 11 have sca nt opport unj_ ty t o '\ - t
any education beyond the high school. The a t tendance a t t h'3 c'. ol. ·· ·
1
�legos will, of course, be groatly diminished• - a result which
might:. not be al together bad if the good students were retaine d
and t i J unfit kept out. But it is likely that the reverse would bo
the caso, - since it is not the rich boy gonorally who most a ppreciates tho opportunity for study and ir1provement.
Tho pre sent $4 0 tuition-fee which is charged by the
State colleges mi ght oc incroased fifty or oven one hundred per
cent possibly without any ad.verse effect upon college attendance,
provided the studonts v1ho cannot pay would bo oxornpt. The sound.no SD
of requiring t hose who can afford to pay to do so, will not be
seriously questioned; but as a matter of policy tho State ought
to provide available facilities for higher education for all its
pc ople, rich and poor; - more particularl,y the poor, since tho
rich can send their sons to other states. The requirement that
applications for free tuition and scholarships shall bo passed on
by the Tax Commission is entirely proper, as free tuition, and
the beneficiary scholarships in particular, should be limited to
those who could not otherwise get a college education.
An examination of colle ge catal0gs shows that in the
Southern States the policy generally is to make no charge, or a
small one, for tuition to resi Qei1ts of th'3 · stato~ In -the State ·
uni vers it io s of Ala ba rila, Florid a~ K8n i;nc.k.y, · Louisiana, Maryland,
iJississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, and Texas, tho tuition is free
to residents. In several of thorn non-residents are also rooeived
without charge for tuition, although most of thom make a charge
ranging from $20 at Missouri to $125 at Maryland. The Bill which
was introduced and advocated in tho recent session of our Legislature to charge · resident students tr lOO a .n d non-resid ants $250 fortunately did not pass, as it would beyond any doubt have seriously
diminished the attendance at our State colleges.
ACADEMIC DEPART~ilIDTT.
When The Citadel vms reopened.· in J 882, the currioulu.m
did not provid.o f or any eleci; jve conrr~:-1 s0 Mather,1atics and engineering held the predomincJ.nt pcsition, :five hou rs a ·we ek for the full
four-year course b9i.ng gi ven to this cJ. ep <-1rt mcnt, - about tw·ice as
much as to any other.
It was nearly twenty yaars be f o·rs a beginning of the
elective system was introduc6d into the senior class, and later
extended to the junior class" It.is the consensus cf opinion · of
the faculty that the elective system at least for the present,
should be confined to the upper two classes. A number of educatio.nal experiments are being tried in several of the colleges and
universities of the country, but the distinctive military features
of the Citadel do not lend t hemselves to their adoption here. The
number of elective courses offered in the Junior and senior classesr
however, has increased from four to eight in the Ipast twenty years\!
Our students have the opportunity now of specializing
in one of · threo literary courses, - English, iistory, and modern
languages,~ lea ding to the Bachelor of Arts degree; or in civil
engilieering, chemistry, pre-modical, or physics, leading to the
Bachelor of Science degree; or at the end of the sophomore class,
they may elect a· two-yoer course in business administration, in
which accounting, economics, and business methods are the s ub i1e ct ;:i
of study. The degree given in this course is B.S.

During the past year, four members of the faculty have
been absent on leave, · pursuing courses for advanced degrees. These
are Captain R. M. Byrd, associate-professor of chemistry, who has
completed his ·work at the University of North Carolina · for the Ph.D.
degree; Lieut. R. M. Lyon, of the dcpartmnnt of hi story , who will
receive the samo de groe; Lieut. J.G. Ha rrison, who has pursued postgraduate work at the University of Michigan; and Lieut. J.I. Owen,
also of t he English de part ment, who has beon at the University of
Illinois. The substitutes f0r t hese teachers are respectively ·
lviossrs. s.u. Wrenn, R.W. Achurch, C.A.P. Moore, and Paul Sanders,
all of whom have done efficient and satisfactory work.
Lieut. Owen has written declining re-election, and Hajor
McGillivray, head of the English department, recommends the election of Mr. Sanders in his place.
A communication has be en received from the state Superintendent of Educs tion calling attention to an Act passod in 1924
· which requires t hat the high schools and colleges supported py public funds tr shall give instruction in t ~1e essentials of the United·
States Constitution, *** and no student in said schools, colleges,
or uni versa ties shall re ceive a certificate of graduation v1i thout
previously passing a satisfactory exa mi nation upon t ho provisions
and principle s of the United States Constitution." The second section of the .Act req_uires that the instruction "shall be given for
at least one year of the high schools, colleges, and university
grades respectively."
Tho praotivo in our state educational system·has boon
to give t his course in the last .year of the hi gh school, and to
rnalce it an optional course in the colle ges • .At the Citadel, students
who elect · history take a course in American Government and Politics.
This year, there are seventeen seniors and fifteen juniors ta king
this course, usi.ng as a te:xt C.A. Beard's ".American Government." At
no other State college is tho study of the Constitution being required of all students, and at the Citadel we would pref 8r to leavo
it among the elective studies of the hmtory department, if this
may be done.
HONORARY DEGREE
The faculty recommends to the Boar~ of Visitors the
award at this Commence ment of the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws
upon Rt. Rev • .Alberts. Thomas, Class of 1892, Episcopal Bishop of
the Diocese of South Carolina.
DISCIPLINE
The Commandant of Cadets, Lieut.-Colonel wm~ c. Hiller,
is completing his fifth year of service at the Citadel, and will
be relieved at the end of this session by Lieut.-Colonel John w.. l '.:: t. _:,.
The closo contact which Colonel ltlller has ·kept with t h~
discipline of the Citadel over this considerable time, ma.Ices hi s ·
observations and reoo mmendations worthy of car<J :fiil cons i d··. Z' t i )1:;
�· It is his judgment t hat the action of the Board, - taJcen
last year - in rais:i.ng the limit of cleITT:i ri ts · in the upper classes
ancl permitting Cadets·to smoke in their rooms, has been justified
by the r esults. Also, that the policy of granting the spring furlough, has.di minished the restlessness which seizes tho cadets in
~he spring , and t hat the engage ment of Sergeant Schellin as mess
-s argeant has improved tho fare, always a potentia 1 cause of com~
plaint ·and trouble. It is his ,judgment that there · has been a trond '
towar~ greater contant ment in the Corps, and that, 1.n · spitc of
ma ny infractions of re gul ations on the part of Cadets the discipline has been in genoral above the average.
'
Thora has been an improvement in the dances · this year
due to the req_ui1~ement that they be hel d on tho campus, and drunkenness at the se functions has not beJn as noticeable this year as
formerly. · This, however, is a matter that needs still further improvement, ·and is oomplica ted by the consideration t~1.a t many offenders are guests, - and :no:t limited to one se:x.
The Director of Cadet Affairs in his report states that
in his opinion the Cadet·danoes nare as well conducted as any given
by college organizations, and that the Citadel's reputation for its
social functions stands without a superior.n
HEALTH.
Dr. R.S. Cathcart, the Surgeon in charge of the health
department of the Citadel, reports that while the general . health
of the Corps during the session now closing has been good, with
fewer oases of illncE~,the number of serious oases has been greater
than usual. Among these, were Cadet P.V. Bernard, of New Orleans,
and G.S. Cooper, of Florida, who developed tuberculosis, and were
given an indefinite furlough. Reports from both of them state that
they are i mp roving. There were si:x cases of ·pneumonia, all of
whom made good recoveries except Cadet Bramlett, of tho senior
class, whose vitality had been impaired by a previous serious illness, and who died on February 5th.
During the session, ei ght cases of appendicitis developed, all of whom were operated on and made good recoveries.
Conta g ious diseases have been kept under very fair control; being limited during the year·to forty-nine cases of influenza, thirty-ei ght cases of measles, three of mumps, and one of
scarlet fever. ,
The facilities for the care of the sick in the Citadel
hospital are excellent, and they receive the most careful attention
from bot h the Surgeon and nurses. It is a ca u se- of great satisfaction to know t hat this important department is capable of caring foll
the physical well-being of the Cadets in every -particular and that
the minds of parents can be relieved of a~iety on this account.
CADET ACTIVITIES.
The athletic activities of the Military CollegEJ have
operated successfully throughout the session under competent -coaoho r
and have made a creditable showing in all s ports. Special aoknowl ...
edgment are due to the alumni, - the local Citadel Club in particular,·- for their assistance in f inancing the Citadel athletic program, and promoting public interest ·and patronage for the contcst 8
in which tho Cadets have taken part. Ono victory by the Citade l
foot-ball team early in the season was particularly gratifying to
the Blue and White ·supporters, - that over the excellent team f ro 'Yt

The cadet publications include·the Bull Dog, which is
tho weekly nows sheet, tho College .Annual, published about the and
of the session, and a new literary mag6 zine, '.PhG Shako, which comes
our two or three times during the session. Special commendation is
due to the editorial staff of the Bull Dog for the excellent character of this publication durjng the y~ar. They have set an example
of literary excellence, interesting news service, and restrained
ed itorial comment which the staff of next year should strive to
surpass.
The Cadet Canteen continues to serve a useful function
in cadet barracks, and incidentally gives a few cadets a ~emuneration which b~ables them to help defray their college expenses.
The operations of all ca det · organizations are looked
after by the Director of Cadet .Affairs, who reports that all their
financial obligations will be duly met.
THE CADET Y. M. C. A.
There are many phases to tho v;ork of the Cadet Young
Men's Christian Association, and ·we are i ndebted to a number of
ministers and others in the City, and to a large group of Cadets
for the assistance they render this organization. Mr. Leland, the
Secretary, has conduct ed a short nchapelir service daily at breakfast, varied someti mes with a short talk by an outsido spoakor. Ho
also looks after the Sunday morning service in Alumni Hall, and
tho ev aning servico on that day. .As att endance at the fir st two
of these is compulsory on the part of Cadets, and volw:itary at the
vesper service, t he fact that thoro is an avora ge attendance of
about 150 Cadats at tho lattor i ndicates t hat many of the Cadets
are intorestod in religion. The Sccreta~y states that in his judg.ment our students are as much conc erned a brmt those matt ors as
those of any other insti·t u-tion in t he Stat e.
One i mp ortant work which t his organization does at the
beginning of tho session is the attention and assistance the members render tho now ca dets a t t ho c i•1. ·i:;ic a l time · of their induction
into the unfamiliar duties of · c it adel li fa ~ The Secretary also is
the postrra stor at t l'le Citadel, and t :ms k eep s a contact with the
entire student-body, and both he and his assistants are ready at
all times to serve all cadets in ev;;ry possible way.
The · financial sta temont of the .Association covering
receipts of $2458.87 and expenditures of $2058.09 has been audited
and found correct.
Q,UARTERMASTER'S P.EPORT.
The annual financial stateme nt of the Quarter master for
the fiscal year ending June 30th will be na de out and submitted to
the Board at its bud get meeting in October with · such other information as may be desired. There are many repairs, improvements, and
additions to the college plant which ought to be made during the
approaching vacation, but the drastic cut in the apprpriation for
maintenance leaves us without funds for the purpose. There will be
some expenses · inc:lLde ntal to the occupation of tt1e new Ad ministration Building, and t here s hould be some new equipment installed, but
r.-iany desirable t hings wi 11 he.ve to be le ftundone unti 1 mo re pros pe:r•r,
ous times returno
In conclusion, I vdsh to thank the Board for their kin~
consideration duri ng the t v1enty-three years that I have been at t h.s
head of the institution, and I join with them in a hearty welco me
to the new president who will take charge at the be ginning of t he
next session. I think we are fortunate in gaving a man of such sm::.•nent ability as General Summerall to J..e ad the destinies of our ·ba ••
loved institution . and I feel sure that under his a ble leader c~1.t ~

May 31, 1933
To t he Board of Visitors of The Citad e l .,
Gen tlemen:
I ha ve t he honor to submit herewith t he following
report of t he operations of The Citadel for t he session of 193219 33 now drawing to a close.
ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT.
The enrolmen t for the session was 528, distribute d
among t he four classes as · follows: seniors, 108, juniors, 95;
sophomores, 160; fres hmen, 165.
Tb.e percentage of South Carolina cad·ets was 73.
One hundred a nd forty-three c~-me from other stet es, t hree being
f'rom Porto Rico and two P. re Chinese students.
...
Of t ~1e south cv.rolina -ca dets, 40 are from Charleston, 32 f rom Greenville, 32 from Richla nd, 16 each f'rom Florence
and Orangeburg, 14 fro m Sparta nburg, and smaller numbers from t '1.e
ot ~er counties. There were no counties without representation.
·. After t h~ graduation of t he l arge senior class on
June 2d, e. nd t he normal casu:.J.ti as at t '1.e close of t "i is session,
t 11e number of old ca dets wh~ frir?.J be- e:xpoctE3°d to return ne:x t year

Whilo this prediction i nd ic a t e s a ·falling-off of
about 13 per cent f'rom t '1is year 1 s onrolmont, I do not consider
it surprising or alarming in view of prosent oconomic conditiohs.
It is t o be re gr e tted t hat wo shPll not -noe a probably a 11 of the
membors of t ho prosen t faculty, but with thd a~pectud rJducod
number of cadots, a few of t ho assistants in the sov0ral departmont~ cEn ha rdly bo usefu lly omployod no:xt session.
The action of t he Legislature in the clos-ing hours
of t he sossion in ret a ining t',.e bonoficiary · oadots at Tho Cita do l
was ospoci a lly grati"fying, . &e. it pormits us to keJ_p this soloct
group of s ovonty-e i g ~t young Carolinians -wh o would otherwis e bo

To the Boo.rd of Visitors of The Citadel,
Gentlemen:
I ha ve t he honor to submit the follo wing rep ort of operations of The Citadel for t he period since May 31, 1935.
ACADZMIC DEPARTMl.""NT
On June 1, 1935 , the Class of 1935 was graduat ed with 96
members.
The enrolment for th e current ses sion was 698 - 138 more '
• t han the pnrolmont for the prey.ious ye ar. Thi s included 78 senior.s,
10 5 juniors; 196 s op homore s, and 319 freshmen. There wa s a gain of
80 fre shmen, 60 sophomores and 22 juniors and a loss of 24 seniors.
The trend of pref e r e nc e is i ndicat e d by tho following senior and
jun ior Cle ctivos: Bus i ne s s Admini s tration, 59; Engine e ring , 47; Premedical, 27;" Hi s to 1·~.r, 18 ; Eng lish, 11; Chemi s tr y , 9; Physics,8;
Languages, o.
Tho pe rc entage of South Ca rolina c ade ts wa s 60. 2, or a
· decreas e of 9.8 from tho procoding year. Two hundred and sovcntyoi ght came 1'rom ot he r s tates, including one from Cuba. Thirty-throe

This is 7. 2 per cont of tho enrolment as c9mparcd to 7 por
9ent in the p revious year. Tho two lower classes show a reduction
in failure s and th is i s quite not"icedtite in the sophomore clas s.
This may fairly bo a ttribut ed to the c:Qiang"lf; in the curriculum and
to th o system of coa ching for deficient On marginal cadets. There
is an increas e of f a ilures in tho two upper classes which may be
due to raising ·tho sto.ndards for promotion.
PERSONNEL
The ndministr~tivo stc.ff cons ist e d of the Pr es ident, tho
Ro gi s trcr, the Adjut nnt, tho Assistant Ro gistrur, tho Qua.rtermnst or,

Whil e tho a.dministrntivo o.nd tea.ching londs have boon very
henvy, it i s believe d tha t a. high stc.ndnrd of efficiency h as been .
mv.int o.ined. Tho clerical work has boon p erformed satisfactorily by
six socre t n ri os. Two of tho sorgoa.nts dota.ilod with tho military ·
depnrtmont hnvo had charge of tho arms, equipment and store rooms.

THE CITADEL.
ARCHIVES AND MUSEUM
May 28, 1937
To the Board of Visitors of The Citadel,
Gentlemen:
I have the honor to submit the following report of
operations of The Citadel for the period since May 30, 1936.
ACADEMIC DEPAR'IW
IENT
On May 30, 1936, the Class of 1936 was graduated with
72 members.
The enrolment for t:i.e current term was 888, or 190 more
than the enrolment for the · prevj_ous year. Thoro was a gain of
98 freshme n, 38 sophomores, 42 juniors, and 12 seniors. The trend
of preference is indicated by the following senior · and junior
electives: Business Administration,95; Engineering,49; Premedical, 46 ■ History, 15; English, 14; Chemistry, 11; Physics! 7;
Lan guages, 6 • This corresponds to the experience of the previous
year.
Tho p6r ccntage of South Carolifta cadets wa s 58.4 or
e. de crease of 1 .e fr :) m· the preceding year. Four· hundro( and ono
came from other states; including tTTo from Cuba. Thirty-five
stat e s ar c represented. Forty-four counties in Sout h Carolina
arc patrons. Due to the discontinuan~e of scholarshi p s, Berkeley
and Pickens are not included. Tho largest numb e r come from Charleston, 72; Greenville, 58; Florence, 30; Rich l and, 24; Richland, 24; Orangeburg, 21; and Spartanburg · and Sumter, 19 each.
The average age of freshmen is 17.8 yoars. The list of patrons
is hended by 89 merche.nts e.nd 81 farmers. Twelve p e r cent of the
freshmen como from private schools and six per cent from oth0r
colleges.
Tho following losses have occurred during the year:

This is 9.4 per cent of the enrolment as comp ared to
7.2 p er cent la s t year.
Th :ir0·was rui increase of fe.ilures in the fr es hman class
amountin g to 20.4 p or·cent, and~ red~ction in the sop homore
class amounting to 13.8 per cont. · The p ercentages in t he other
classes vary 1i ttlo. Nine cadets, two of miom vrero de ficient,
loft to enter oth er colleges and three left to prep a re for the
Navel Academ:r.
PERSONNEL
The administrative staff consisted of tho Pr0s ident; the
Surgeon, tho Registrar, the Adjutant, the Assistan..t Re gi s trar,
the Q.uartermast or, the Commandant of Cadets, t llreo As si s tant Commandants, the Director of Cadet Affairs, and the Se cretary of the
Young Men's Christian Association. The Registrar and the Adjutant
arG also included in the Instructional Staff.
The Instructinnal Ste.ff has consisted of 11 Professors,
9 Associate ·Profe s sors, and 33 Assistant Profes s ors, making a
total of 53. This is an increase of 7 over the p revious year and
at least 6 additional Assistant Professors will be required · next
year. Ten have the Doctor's degree, 30 the Master's degree, and
the remainder the Bachelor's degree or are officers of the Army.
All who,need to do so are taking summer courses to improve their
degrees•
�•
The clerical work has been performed satisfactorily by
six secretaries. Two of the sergeants detailed with the military
department have charge of the arms, equipment and store rooms.
The remainder of the salaried personnel consists·of the matron of
the h_ospital· and o,tJe assistant, the mess officer, the assistant
mess officer, the engineer and one assistant, the superintendent
of grounds, the watcJ;iman,and two carpenters.
It is recommended that the present faculty and staff
be reemployed with the exception of those recommended to be dropped or who resigned.
DE?AR'!MENTS
\
· MATHEMATICS.
The department has shown commendable
activity. The faculty have attended professional conferences, and
Lieut. Dye has made several professional contributions. Captain
Saunders also has presented a paper. The head of the department
reports that the coaching classes have been attended fairly well
and that he beli~ves some cadets were saved from feiling through
this opportunity.
Weekly conferences have been held on advanced mathematics. A ma;tor course in mathematics Will be offered at the
next session.
ENGLISH. It is believed that this department has been
improved in scope of subject matter and in methods. The freshmen
are helped to overcome their deficiencies by suiting the program
to·their needs. Stress is placed on speaking and ~riting corroct-,
ly. A voice recording maOlline, constructed by Captain Razor,
of the Pl'l.ysics department, has shown each cadet his ·w eakness in
speaking. The advance course .i s made more cultural. Public speak..
ing has been taught and the state Oratorical Contest was won by
Cadet Stone. The genoral interest of cadets is shown by tho ex~
cellent quality of tho cadet publications, especially the Shnko.
The Round Tablo and tho revived CalliQpem -Society have o.ff'orded
opportunity for debate. A number of cadets belong to the Poetry
Society 01' South Carolina, of which Captain Harrison, of the department, is President.
onces-.
The faculty have attended various professional confer- .
LANGUAGES.
Thero has been a distinct change in methods
and attitude in this depar~ment. 1~s far as is practtce.ble cadets
are required to speak in the class room the language that is being
taught. By metJ.m of the phonograph 11.nd records, the ear is one.bl....
eC to perceive tho best . ~ronW1aiation. It is believed that a
modern langue.ge should be spoken and understood and thet ample opportunity is afforded to do so while leo.r.riing the grammar and
literature. A maximum amount of uork is required of tho students
in the class room._
Major Wilson has organized voluntary classes of cadets
anc civilians and clubs havo been formed at Tihich conversation
is conducted in the language c.o ncerned.
.
HISTORY. The·head of the department reports o.n enc6uraging increase in reading, especially ii.n the field of biography .. He
states: "While no student was re quired to return for extra work,
tho coaching hcurs which wore consistently hold two hours a ~eek
throughout tho year by eaoh member of the Departqient., i7ere generally rairly weil attended - of'ten by those students whose grades
were above passing,. It is believer. that this extra assistance
uill enable many students to p·ass who otherwise would he.ve fai.led"
During tho yoar, the faculty attended several profes- .
sional conferences-, : at one of which a po.per was presented .by Major
Colemon.
.·
At the nex't · term., a new course ·will be established
under this departmon~, calculated to prepare students for public
service-. This should open a now opportunity for an honorable
career-.
�' .
CimUSTRY•
During the last thre~ years; a re~is:l.on .
of the course in chr· m1stry he_s beefi in progress to conform to
the best prac:t1ces n that subject. This has carried a. heavy t ·e aching load but the instruction has been of a high"order. New courses
have been introduced . with corresponding benefit.
r
The faculty attended the meeting of the State Academy
of Science. The head of the department pays/high tribute to his
assistants in which I concur. In recognition of the department
as well as of the attainments of Cadet Hair, he has been granted
a fellowship at the University of Georgia.
I wish especially to commend Captain Watkins for his resourcefulness, zeal and effectiveness in his courses in biology
and geology and Lieut. Duckett for his mastery, industry, and
skill in teaching.
ENGINEERiliG. The revised curriculum has·been adopted
with a view to preparing the students for a career. The head of
the department recommends a · number of changes in the other departments for engineering s~udents. No doubt some can be egrected
and efforts are being made to do so.
Recently the department was visited by a fact finding
. committee from the Engineers• Caunci l for Professi anal Development eith a view to be accredited by the standards of that body.
The new engineering building with improved equipment
will increase the efficienoy of the departme~t.
PWISICS. This is a strong department and its teaching
is of a high order. The equipment is satisfactory. The faQulty
attended the meetiugs of the .American Physical Society and Colonel
Smith, Captain Brenner. end Captain Razor presented papers which
were afterwards published.
.
Especial commendation is due to Captain Razor for his
zeal,·ability, and industry in keeping the el ectric clocks in
order, manufacturing a voice recording machine, repairing the loud
speaker and the"supcriority of his teaching as shown by the record
of his s~udents.
Captain Brenner rendered valuable service in making a
study and report on th0 best me of light for cadet rooms.
BUSINESS .ADMINISTRATION. The curriculum in this department is mOire comprehensive than that in most undergraduate col- ·
leges. The fo.oul ty have attenaed professional conferences and contributed papers. For tho second year they have prepared papers ·
that were reo.d in the college and afterwards bound as "Current
Economic Problems." Lieut. Brainard has prepared book reviews and
delivered lectures outside of the college.
MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS. Tho department has maintained its traditional·standards as shown by tho high degree of
training of the cadets. The Corps was awarded a rating of ''Excellent" at the recent annual inspection. Improvement in training is'
sho~ by uinning the Corps Area Proficiency Cup at Fort McClellan,
Ala., and winning tho competitive drill at the R.O.T.C. Camp at
Fort McClellan. Cadets Rosenberg and Mccown were placed first
e.nd second in rifle practice at Fort McClellan and were selected
far the Corps Area R.O.T.c. Rifle Team at Co.mp Perry, Ohio. The
cadet plc.toon stood second in 1rifle practice at Fort McClellan and
the cadet team won tho rifle competitions with Clemson and Wofford
Colleges.
Major Kirk and .Captain Robertson are commended for the
training in rifle practice.
Especial commendatiori is d~e to the Cadet Band which has
shown the most praiseworthy zeal and efficiency. It has been much
improved by the addition of a drum and buglo corps. Much credit
is due to Mr. Metz and Cadets E.W. Sills, w.o. Benton o.nd J.T.
Morton for leadership and ab 111 ty.
.
�EDUCA'l'ION AND PSYCHOLOGY. The instruotion in this de-.
partment has been oonduoted entirely by Lieut. Ralya who is highly
qualified•in these fields. While no outstanding achievement is
presontod, it is believed that the pu.rpose·or making graduates
eligible as teachers is - being aooomplished.
GENERAL
The year has been marked by a broad participation of tho
faculty in the meetings of professional. societies. A list of conferences attended is a.ttaohed·. Actual expenses have been borne by
The Citadel. There has been also increased activity in the production of papers on professional subjeots. This has oulminated
in the issue of the'first bulletin,·containing·excell:ent studies
by Captain Harrison, Lieut. Skipper, and Lieut. Prior. At least
four bulletins will be issued each year, including the catalog
and · ho registcr 0 .Arrangements with the postoffice are such that
the cost of print±-n-g the literary numbers and the postage will
not materially exceed the cost of me.iling the catalog and the
register heretofore. For this accomplishment the college is indeb~
ted to the initiative of Colonel LeTellier r..n'.l. the industry of
Mo.jor Colomo.n whb-,- as chairmnn of the· bulletin oommi ttee, executed
o.11 details of editing o.nd publishing • .Ample material is already
available for the fall issue.
'
TEACHING METHODS
Whatever may, be the benefits of the military training
am the character building elements of the college, it must be
judged, in the last analysis, by the intolleotuul, cultural and
toolli11oal attainments of the students. The faculty come from many
oollqgesa.na universities and their teaching·methods reflect the
accepteC practices of the educational world. Tho personnel are as
fine a representation in character ana intellect as probably could
be found in e.ny undergraduate college. Yet, I em constrained to
believe that our teaching methods leave much to be desired and
~~at it is uithin the grasp of the faculty to make The Citadel
distinguished among colleges by reason of its superior product.
This can not be attained quickly but must evolve from the oon~,
sciousness ani the zeal of th0 faculty. The foundation for improvement has been laid in the faculty conferences which; last
year, were devoted to the art of teaohing 1 and, this year, to the
methods of improving the student's learning. Much can be done to
develop in the student concentration, quick reading, thinking and
understanding, reasoning, analysis and sound conclusions·in all
departments and to broaden his knowledge and his culture. A faculty
committee has been appointee to study this problem and it is hoped
to profit next year by concrete recommendations.
TESTS
~
The method of testing freshmen lo.st year rms continued.
Tho class reported a week ahead of tho_ opening of college. Besides
tho tests as toproparo.tion and aptitude, they were oriented in the
college and tlu) city, to.lks were given to them by the President ·
.em othors an~ they were matriculated and supplier. with unifonns.
A large per cent of the freshmen classes o.re backward in English
and mathematics. The two extra hours, provi~ed by the curriculum
in these subjeots, ·must be useC to overcome, as far as possible,
th_ese de:f'iciencies. It is hoped that experience wi 11 improve tho
testing methods so as to arrive at a sound conclusion as to tho
capabilities and needs of ea.ch member of the class. It is the mission 04: the college to supply these needs rather thnn to assume
that the student is incapable of overcoming them.
FACULTY COMMITTEES
The functioning of the college requires many services by
tho faculty beyond the c_lass roqm. It is only by the contribution
of the capacity of eacfi individual that the institution can realize
its mo.:x:imum efficiency. To meet this need, the different aotivi- ·
tics have been decentralized under twenty-eight faculty committees.
All have functioned most creditably though some have carried a much
groo.ter load than others. ·
/
�· The Placement Committee, of which Colonel toTellier is•
chairman, has grown into an ·1nd1a~ensable agency far bringing
our graduates into contact with employers. During the past year,
graduates could not be round to till all or the openings presented
by employers.
The 013.talog Committee, under Colonel Le' ellier, has _improved the contents· and printing·of the catalog and has dewloped
the program of issuing bulleti ns. !fo has also been chairman of
the Round Tab le and Forum Cpmmi ttee·, The Honorary Degree Committee,
and the Commencement Committee, all of which have rendered most
creditable service.
1
• The Curriculum Committee, under Colonel Y.nox as chairman, has made several important studies and besides improving·.
details, has organized the new electives in mathematics and public
'
service~
The Audi \ing Committee~ With Major Lewis as chainnrui~
is composed mostly of members of the businoss a_dninistration department. It has spent much -time in mo.king the month~y audits
of all funds except _those of the Quartermaster.
No more capable or necessary service has been ·r endered
- than tha, of Major Myers, as chairman of the N.Y.A. Committee. He
has ~evoted much time to the assignment of .work, keepiitg records
and ma.king returns of a voluminous nature. His loyalty, .zeal and
tireless industry are highly commendable. H~ has also rondered
valuable assistance uith the broadcasting of the Glee Club and the
operation of the public speaking e~uipment.
Colonel Proutv as acting chairm.o.n .and Colonel ·Holliday
as chairman of the Boarc in Control of Athletics have been of
great assistance in the many details involved.
· The Library Committee, of which Colonel Williams is
.. chairoan, ho.s greatly improved the library and aided in the selection ot books. The contribution of M~jor Wiles, as a member of this
committee, has been invalubale.
Colonel Williams has also served as chairman of the
Algernon S~rdney Sullivan ATTo.rd Cotru:1i ttee •
.
Major Coleman, as chairman of tho Bull Dog Comoittoe,
and Captain Harrison, as chaiL'I!lan of the Sphinx and Shako Commi ttes,
have improved these publications.
While mention can not be made of all, it is desired to
record the obligation of the college to every one who has served
on the coomittess and thereby contributed to the ~uccess of its '
administration.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND GIFTS
During the year, the college has been honored by the
C:o!lo.tion of o. !Ull pa :..d scholarship by Colonel Clark Williams, of.
C®don, s.c., and New York. It is to be knonn as the Cenden Scholarship and is to be filled by selection from graduates of th0
CaI!lden High School. The qualifications . are the same as fer tho
First Division Scholarships.
STUDENT AID
The Notional, Youth Administration· has supplied $11,745.00
during the year for the eoploycient of 192 cadets. Without this
e.id, it must be ti.ssuoed tho.t they could not have attended college.
At tho sa□e ti □e, they havo contributed to the economy of administration by performing duties · of service of mich , the college ,uould - -·
have been , deprived.

'
I've seen." He especially commends Cadet ·Lt. Col • .Tames, A."£.',
anc! Cadet Major Trotti as sµperior _c adets.
With referem e to ·the "detail" system he says·:
"The detail ' system, after an inspiring sermon'by the
President _to the Senior Class·e.nd·other missionery·vrork, was . 1
abolished by Henerql ·order No. 16, dated .Tanuary 6·. The Senior
Class accepted this order in fine spirit .which meant that they
would not permit underclassmen prfvileges denied them and made
tho order effective. From observation and frequent inspections
and interviews wit-ll dependable cadet · officers; it is my conviction
that the Detail ·system at The Citadel is dead. That this has been
accomplished wi t:1out the use of harsh measures _is due mainly to
the fine attitude and oooperation of the present Senior . Class, .
nm there : is evidence in tho present .Tunior Class to 'carry on'
and improve conditions next year."
The President desires to commend the Senior Class for
the loyalty, courage arid sound thinking that have characterized
the attitude of its members. It has been dominated by men of the
highest character and intellect and it leaves a record and an impress for good upon the Corps that will be lasting.
The· report dated Api' .. 25 sho\7s that 261 cadets or
32 per cent of the Corps have marits. The Commandant reports more
interest in condµct records than fonnerly~
Seven cadets have Jeen punished for drinking, as compared
to eleven last year •. · l.11 except one were on returning from ,leave.
Instead of suspending cadets for -dismissel, the policy has l;lieon ·
adoptec'\ of giving them leave in the ceses where dismi sse:l is necessary and allowing them to resign. This appears to be to .the interest mt all concerned nnd to vindicate tho standards of discip~ine.
The Commandant further remarks:
"In reporting·ou the discipline of the Corps I feel it
cy duty to say th~t par., 52 College Regulations, es far as I am
able to determine, is 1dead•~- . The reputation and high standard .
of Tho Ci tar.el as a Military College was buiit and has been·maintained by adherence to the principle clearly defined in par.· 52,· ·
and to nullify •it by saying in ef~ect to cadets that only officers
o~ the Col:lI!landant's Department· will report cadets for viol~tions
ot Regulations ~nd exiating orders is nothing more nor less than
a tragery • . Any officer of the Faculty or Administrative staff
holding views contrary to the provisions of Pnr. · 52 College Regulations is out of place at The Citadel.· ¥e shouJ.c1 not be corunissionec and allowed to wear ~he Citadel uniform without accepting
the responsibilities devolviigg upon the office. · I realiy think
every Citadel officer should truce an oath of office the same as
any other State 0fficial.•They should at least be required to sign
a written acceptance before The Citadel l1djuta.nt."
There is no doubt that a serious condition exists and
has existee. in the attitude of the faculty as to discipline. The
duty of officer in charge· was sb distasteful that they have been
· relieved from that detail · fen- the pest· throe years. · since then, ·
tho feeling has increased, •if possiblo, ,that a teacher's duty towards cadets did not ·exist beyond the class room. walls. Disorder '
. in · the halls hns been ignored by them when their presence or a
word at the door. would have prevented or stopped it~ In spite of
my estimate of their high character ·and attainments, I can not
resist the conviction _that the· military teo.tures of the c:ollege
are distasteful to tlany. -This is shown not only by fnllure to assert o.uthori ty but by the a:tti tude ··.tuwards the uniform particu"'!'
larly, .and m.i lito.ry formalities. •It , would appear .that. thoro·exists
~ feeling that the performance of the duties imposed by par. ·52,
College Regulations would antagonize cadets. The cont~ar,y is the
case and cadets have more respect for anyone who performs his duty

HEALTH
The report of the surgeon states that there has been
approximately fifty percent less ad.I!lissions to the hospital than
last yoar. He feels that this 1s·partly due to having tho Corps
remain in the grounds for ·two weeks after the Christmas furlough
and h~ving reveille one hour later from January to tho middle of
March. Thero were only 19 oases of influenza, 3 of Vincent's .t..ngina
and one of pnourr~nia. Operations include 5 appendicitis, 1 intestional obstruction and 1 · ~:.ttrection of teoth. Thero were 18 injuries ana 13 serious illnesses.
The most__;tragio incident in the history of the college
occurred ~hen Oadets T.H. Lanoy, N.O. Harris and W;M. Walters
were killed in an automobile accident on·ootbber 50,while returning ffoc the football game at Orangeburg. They were young men of
the highest character and promise and their untimely death shadowed the year with sorrow. Efforts have beon made to safe guard
cadets in the furture from exposure to such danger.
The increase in the size of the Corps requires that
another ward be built to the hospital. Funds for this purpose
are included in the appropriation bill for 1937-1938.
1 .
I desire' to express my sense of gratitude and obligation
to Dr. Catnoart whose skill and devotion to our sick and malth
conditions have been beyond praise. To Mrs. Malloy is due our
deop appreciation for her unselfish service and untiring labor
in ministering to all who neod her.
LIBRARY
Five tnousand dollars ~ere allotted to the library for
books and $3,809.67 have been spent to date. Six hundred and ten
dollars have been spent for supplies. Fourteen -hnndret and seventy
four books have been added; caking a total of 15,992 after expend~
ing 294 that were worn out. One hundred and sixty-six cagazines
have been received and ten newspapers. Five hundred and thirty-two
books have been rebound. The purchases over the last three years
have supplio~ an excellent oollootion of up to date books of all
~inds, as well as standard works in literature and science. However, the library is still far below tho standard required for
a college and it is i,ror,os·oc to .allot ten thousand dollars from the
next appropriation to help overcome this deficiency.
ATHLETICS
The Director of Cadet .Affairs reports:
"Under the Board· in Control of lithletics, intercollegiate
sports; including football, basket ball, boxing, track, baseball,
tennis, and golf and Inti-au.ural.sports of football; soft ball;,,
basket ball, boxing, urestling, sWil!lOing, tennis, horseshoes
track and volley ball have been spnnsorea. It con truly be said
that The Citadel has had ~ts most cooprehonsive sports program during the session no~ closing and has roached by greater odds, a
higher percentage of an enlarged Corps of Cadets."
.
Every effort is made to interest all cadets in some
sport. It is be lievecl that without a comparable systoa of procuretic~t the record of our contests· has been creditable to the
players and the coaches.

It is planned to construct three additional tennis
courts and to dredge a_channel ~o the river for sailing.

C.ADET ACTIVITIES
Major D.S. McA11ster has· ably administered the following nctivities: Athletics, oantcen, tailor shop,'clothing and·
book shop, r:shoe shop, barber shop, printing shop, oadet danoes,
cadet orchestra and glee club, cadet N.Y.A.·employment, the Sphinx~
the Bull Deg, the Sho.ko and the Beach House.
The finances have been well administered and all accounts
e.ro solvent.
Through tho generosity of Mr. M.L. McLeod, the owner,
tho Beach Eouso at Fcilly has been leased for a year e.t a nominal
costo It s~ou: t afford a much needed opportunity for cadets and
the f'aculty nn l their f'amU.ios to enjoy this hoalthful recreation.
The cedet glee ciub and choir have improved under the
teaching of Mr. Ivar Skougaard and the glee club has rendered a
nuober of broadcasts and ltm given concerts at several places
which were well received.
·
Y. M. C. A.
The Y.M.C.A. has continuea to render extensive·and
indispensable service under Mr. ~.M. Leland, es Secretary. From
the arrival of the freshmen to graduation the cadet is conscious
of the aid of this organization.
During the year; a number of
cauets pnrticipated in religious conferences. Bible olassos were
conducted under the ministe:ir; of Charla:Jston and Colonel Prouty. TVTo
hundred and twenty-seven cndets received certificates for completing the courses.
·
Daily religious exercises at breakfast have been conducted by Mr. Leland and Chapel services have been held every Sunda:t
with a visiting minister officiating. Vesper services were held
until the Christmas holiday with cadets tnlking on some religious
topic each Sunday evening.
The total cadet membership of the Y.M.C .l'l . was 857. Cadet
McCO\m, as president, has oarmd the highest commendation for his
example and his wide influence for good. The cadet cabinet have
elso served in the most meritorious mcnncr.
The postoffice and the recreation rooms in barracks hcve
beon amply managed by this department. The pool tables are selfsupporting.
Religious emphasis week was conducted again by Rev. John
H. Clifford, of Brooklyn, N.Y., on May 2 · to 9. The services
were attended by largo numbers of cadets, thus demonstrating that
the religious spirit for TThioh the Corps has long been noted still
gives to our graduates that charact~r of character without which
education is so often ine:f'foctive.
· It is a pleasure to record that the Rev. Ge::rge H.
L.tkinson, aCitac1el alumnus, has presented to the Y.M.C • .."... , in
hoii:) r of the late Frank Whilden and T.A. JEmison, 800 hymnals for
the Y.M.C.J•• servives and 1000 hycnals for tho Chapel.
OTHER RELIGIOUS GROUPS
The Catholic cadets nre organized into a class uhich
moots for instruction under a priest every Sundny evening.
Both Catholic and Jewish cadets attend the churches of
t heir faith.
PROCUREMENT
The incr~ased enrolment and the applications already
received for the next yeo.r indicate tho.to. growing number of young
�/
men and theor parents are finding that The Citadel offers the
opportunities for "the -- kind ot oauceitfon· they. d6s1·r o. In ge!letal
those who come represent the highest type of kmerican youth.
FIN.ilNCES

By careful economy, the college has operate d efficiently

is not co::noonsurate with the high character of sprvice desired.

NEW BUILDIH'GS
The pr.egress on the new huildings has been slow and much
of the work unse.tisfa.ctory. While tho time for completing the
officers' qua.::-t crs and the mess hall i'l8.S extended to Me.y 25 the
contrector reported them ready for inspection for acceptance several weeks ago. This inspection was carefully made by the Chairman
of the Board of Visitors, the President and Colonel LeTellier.Many
serious defects were noted and, after· the contractor had correct~d
them as far as he intended a second inspection i7as made. ~·~s a result the archit ects were informed that the poor workmanship and
materials· en~itled The Citl!tdel to an allowance of $6,910.00 on the
project. Nothing further has been done. Neither the architects
nor the attorney has been of any material assistance in making
an acljustnent.
The progress on the Chapel is very slow and no prediction
can be onde as to its· co □pletion.
In the meantime the fe deral
f'Und
«as increased
by
$69,000.00 and authority was obtained to construct an engineering
building from the grant portion of the total loan. The contract ·
was let and the building app ears to be progressing satisfactorily.
The loan aiso provides for the seats, wainscoting and chancel,
end for the organ in the Chapel.
·
Through the vision and resourcefulness of Major Simons,
the opportunity to present memorial windows to ind ividuals and ·
classes ~as afforded the alumni • .1lS a result, 30 memorial windows
end 15 olo.ss windows ho.ve been provided . for the Chapel and oth ers
aro expected ut o.n early do.t.e. Thus, this noble building will become a shrine for Citadel men as well o.s o. place of worship.
The o.nnuo.l appropriation bill authorizes an .additional
i7o.rd to the hospital during tho fiscal year 1957-l938 and a special
bill for oonstr.uction At colleges carries $300,000.00 for ·a new
barrack at The Citadel. It is also necessary to purchase a new
' boiler uith appliances and to extend the boiler house to contain it.
In order to o.c·commodate the prospect·i ve size of the C-orps,
all o.ctivities will be removed free barracks o.nd the entire available space will be used for cadets. The old mess hall and !citchen
will be converted into rooms to receive ell cadet administration
and aoti vi tics.
The appropriation for roads in the fiscal year 1936-1937.
has eno.blod The Citadel to have a complete system of excellent
·
re eds. The state recd department is now engaged in constructing
them and it is expected that they will be complete d e.t an early
date.
·
In all new construction Colonel · LeTellier has represented
the college e.s o.dviser and inspector. His profossinnal knowl ed ge
am his fidolity·t p t~e institution have mo.de his services of incalculable vru.ue. Ho prevented much interior work and has exposed
thet which could not bo provented. He ms handlcC all ' contracts
