Columbia September 24th 1864.

His Excellency
Governor Bonham
Columbia, S.C.

Governor:
I have it in charge from surviving members of the permanent Board of Visitors of the South Carolina Military Academy, to propose to your Excellency the name of Wm. Gilmore Simms L.L.D., to fill the place upon the Board, made vacant by the death of our lamented colleague, General Daniel F. Jamison.

I have the honor to be

It gives me pleasure to confirm the nomination pf Wm. Gilmore Simms L.L.D. to the place on the Board made vacant by the death of the lamented General Jamison.

(Signed) M. L. Bonham

The accounts of the Bursars of both Academies were referred to a committee consisting of Messrs. Perrin, Wilson and Simms, after which the Board adjourned to meet tomorrow at 10 A.M.

Dec. 2nd, 1864

The Board met at 10 A.M.

Dr. Simms submitted the following preamble and resolutions which were unanimously adopted.

It has pleased Almighty God, in the inscrutable Providence, which we must endure, even when we fail to comprehend, to withdraw from his country, his family, and this Board, David J. Jamison, one of the original members of this Body, and one whose loss we especially deplore.

For twenty-two years, our associate was a diligent and wise counselor of this Board, - one whose amenity and grace, courtesy, gentleness, good sense and general bearing as well as intelligence made it equally profitable and pleasant to unite with him in council. He was a pains-taking and useful worker, a sound discriminative thinker, a patient [illegible], logical in reason and modestly unobtrusive in the utterance of advice.

[Page 6]
He blent within himself those many minor attributes of head, heart and social manners, which, duly united, we call moral providence and without which counsel must always fail to work the results of wisdom.

In this Board our associate especially proved his claim as a judicious councilor, - his wisdom placed him in an almost patriarchal relation to successive generations of young men in the keeping of the Institution, over the interests of which he maintained an unwavering watch, and in all the progress of which he showed a tender concern, and a never flagging care which grew in time, to an affection if not a passion.

The withdrawal from us, of this our honored associate, is a loss which we know not well how to bear, and which it will not be easy to supply.

And such, too, is the loss of the whole country in whose service he commenced his best prime of youth, and vigorous manhood, and in whose harness of work and warfare, he sunk at last, dying at his post of duty. Filling several of the highest positions in the state and in the Confederacy, he found his way to them without making search or struggle. He was the sought, and not the seeker; and in all the situations which he filled, his working fully justified the choice which gave them to his charge. His native State, the Confederacy, his large and bereaved family, his many friends, these young men

[Page 7]
his late and grateful charge – all equally suffer in the departure of our honored friend and associate. He died at Charleston, of yellow fever, most unexpectedly, after a few hours illness. Death, which is usually a surprise to man, is, to us, in this case, a wonder as well as sorrow, since in our prevailing sense of his worth, our uniform confidence in his habitual presence here, we never allowed ourselves to regard him as one whom we should one day, and so suddenly find missing from his post.

Resolved, That in the death of David F. Jamison, this Board deplores the loss of one of its most highly valued, and useful and esteemed members.

Resolved, That the state of South Carolina which has enjoyed his life-long services, has yielded up to God one of her most honored sons.

Resolved, That this Board doth herewith, respectfully offer its tribute and testimonial of profound sympathy to the widowed wife, the suffering mother of his children, the sons and daughters of our friend.

Resolved, finally, That our secretary be instructed to provide copies of this report, and these resolutions for publication in the newspapers, communicate copies to the family of our associate and enter them fully on the records of this Board.

[Page 8]
The report of the Supt of the Citadel Academy was then taken up, when it was,

Ordered, That the suspension of Cadets Richards, J. O. Sanders, J. S. Horlbeck and P. Lawton, be confirmed and that they be dismissed.

Ordered, That Cadet C. T. Goodwyn be honorably discharged.

The report of the Supt A. A. was next taken up, and it was ordered

Ordered, That the suspensions of Cadets H. M. Palmer, Wharton, C. Smith, Lindsay, Steele, Allen, J. L. Spann, A. L. P. H. Walker, J. W. S. Chafee, Heath, Colcock, Salley and Caldwell be confirmed and that they be dismissed.

Ordered, That the suspension of Cadet R. T. May be confirmed and that he be expelled.

Ordered, That the suspensions of Cadets Noble, Huger, John Johnson and Chisolm be approved, but that in consideration of the punishment already endured they be restored to their place in the Academy.

Ordered, That the recommendation of the Academic Board, that Cadets F. V. Appleby, E. Williams, H. Gantt, F. W. Rivers, J. C. Small, C. O. Buck, J. Harrison & R. Cain be discharged for deficiency, but that the discharge be deferred for the present, be approved.

Report

To the Honorable the General Assembly of South Carolina:

The Board of Visitors of the South Carolina Military Academy beg leave to submit the following report:

In consequence of the threatening movements of the enemy, His Excellency the Governor and Commander in Chief deemed it proper to order the Battalion of Cadets into the field on the eve of the annual examination at the Arsenal Academy. The Board were, therefore, unable to conduct the usual examination of that Academy. During the past year, the frequent and at one time, prolonged demand upon the Citadel Cadets for military service in the field and as Provost Guard by the Confederate Military authorities, seriously interrupted their Academic progress; but the Board are happy to state that the discipline of both Academies has been preserved unimpaired throughout the year.

[Page 18]
At the present meeting of the Board there were four-hundred and forty nine applications for appointment as Pay Cadets, and eighty-seven as State Cadets, making the whole number of applications five-hundred and thirty-six, (536), of whom the Board appointed one-hundred and ninety, which, with seven appointed by the Governor, under a resolution of the General Assembly, make the whole number of appointments one-hundred and ninety-seven (197). The Board regrets to have to say that the impractibility of erecting or fixing or buying buildings for their accommodation precluded any more appointments.

The following statement shows the [illegible] of the appointments, and the number that will be in the Academy on the 1st January next.

In the Citadel Academy Dec. 1st 1864 Pay: 63 State: 35
Transferred from the Arsenal to the Citadel Pay: 54 State: 20
Appointed to the Citadel Pay: 43 State: 0
Will be in the Citadel Academy Jany 1st 1865 Pay: 160 State: 45

Retained in Arsenal Academy Pay: 2 State: 1 Appointed to the Arsenal Academy Pay: 121 State: 26
Appointed by the Governor Pay: 0 State: 7
Will be in the Arsenal Academy Jany 1st 1865 Pay: 123 State: 34

Whole number in the South Carolina Military Academy, Jan 1st 1865 283 Pay, 79 State, Aggregate Pay & State Cadets 362

The new appointees have been ordered by the Board to report for duty, forthwith to the Battalion of State Cadets.

[Page 19]
The following is a condensed abstract of the Receipts and Expenditures of the Academy for the fiscal year ending September 30th 1864. The accounts and vouchers of the Bursars of the Citadel and Arsenal Academies, respectively, are herewith transmitted; they have been thoroughly examined by the Board and found correct.

Receipts
Balance on hand Oct. 1st 1863 245.59
Received from Appropriations & deposits 113,571.57 Received from Pay Cadets 113,200.00
Received from Sales to Officers & Academy 8431.37 [Total] $235448.53

Expenditures
For pay of Officers 22003.33
For subsistence 108415.26
For clothing 53877.26
For washing 7387.24
For Hire of Servants 2554.19
For Music 258.00
For Contingencies, including fuel, lights, books, stationery, medicines 24388.01
For Permanent improvements 76.25
For Repairs to buildings, furniture, etc. 1348.65
For Magazine Guard in Charleston 4926.36
For amount redeposited in Treasury 200.00 225434.55
Balance $10013.98

Cash balance at Arsenal 3945.66
Cash balance at Citadel 6068.32
[Total] $10013.98

Seven thousand five hundred dollars of this amount arises from an undrawn balance of the appropriation for the year 1863, remaining in the Treasury, Oct 1st 1863, and drawn Jany 1st 1864. And as the whole of the ap-

[Page 20]
propriation for the year 1864 has been drawn, the balance from that appropriation alone would be two thousand five-hundred and thirteen dollars and ninety eight cents ($513.98). 

During the last year, the Academy was allowed the privilege of purchasing subsistence to a considerable extent from the State and Confederate Commissaries, at cost price, greatly below the price for which similar supplies were selling in the open market.

The Board regret to state that, that source of supplies is now cut off and both subsistence & clothing will have to be purchased at the enormous prices asked in the open market. The Board has, therefore, increased the amount to be paid by Pay Cadets to twelve hundred dollars for the year, and they ask of your honorable body a corresponding increase in the appropriation for the Academy, for the pay of the Officers and support of the State Cadets.

In answer to the earnest petition of the Officers of the institution, and in pursuance of what seemed to the Board an act of justice to them, their pay was increased one-hundred percent upon their salaries of last year.

The Board ask a general appropriation of one-hundred and forty seven thousand two hundred dollars ($147200) for the support of the Military Academy.

The continued bombardment of the city of Charleston by the enemy has rendered the Citadel in that city a dangerous habitation and wholly unfit for the Academic duties of the Cadets. They must, therefore, be removed

[Page 21]
from that vicinage. If convenient and suitable quarters cannot be hired for them, it is the design of the Board to erect temporary huts for their accommodation; and the Chairman is instructed to ask your honorable body for a special appropriation of fifteen thousand dollars ($15000), if so much be necessary for that purpose.
