To the Honorable Board of Trustees: Gentlemen: I hvve the honor of making - my -report for the year 1907 and of transmitting to you the reports of the deans of the vari&u faculti?s and of other officers of the University. 'Since my last report. which was e? pectally devoted to the needs of the University, the General Assembly has Increased the annual appropriation for support from $45,000 to $70,000. and granted 50,03O for building, repairs, etc. This was generous treatment In view of the condition of the State's treasury.- Without it. the carrying on of the University would have been Impossible on the scale of expenditure It had already reached and the provid ing for additional students out of the question. The relief Is only partial and-much still remains to be done to place .the University upon the proper basis for sound and efficient work. The present enrollment of 785 Is an Increase of E4 students over last year, and the problem of lodging, feeding and teaching so . large a ivumber re mains verjr much In the same condi tion as before. ADDITION TO EQUIPMENT. The new library, begun in October, 1906, was completed ia the summer, but It could not be opqued for use until late In September, oh account of delay in receiving the furniture. The cost of the building was $00,000, and 5,000 was spent upon new furniture. The complete furnishing, including two more tiers of stacks for books, will carry the cost to about $70,000. but the larger part of this expense can le postponed for a year or two. No more important addition could have teen made to the life of the University. tuii its usefulness carnot well be.over estimated. The capacity of the library Is for some 175.000 1 to 2C0 OOO books. There are ot present about 60.000 books and 25,000 pamphlets in the library. The art and historical, collections held by it at present should eventually bo splaced in a , suitable museum. Portraits of the six presidents and also of some 'of the donors to the li brary have been placed in It. Other portraits will be added. The plan Is to form a memorial gallery Of noted . professors and benefactors of the Uni versity. The new infirmary was completed, and has been In use during the pres ent term. The cost of the building and equipment- Is abouu $20",000. It in modern and Mretlj-deslgrted. and marks a great Improvement over the former Inadequate quarters. There are four ward ro,ma, four smaller rooms, two waiting rooms. ' dlpen wary, operating rooms, "nurse's room, dining room, kitchen, closet and bath rooms. There are accommodations for twenty patients under - ordinary circumstances, or thirty If necessary. The building has its own furnace and a well-installed hot water system of .heating, besides chimneys and fire places In every room. Ono fourth' of the building can be cut oft In. case of contagious diseases. The president's house, to replace the one destroyed by fire in 18S6, was com pleted in the summer at a cost of $15,000. This is a b.indsjtne colonial building, thoroughly well constructed ' and conveniently designed. Such a building became a necessity, largely because of the Inadequacy of the former residence of the official head of the University for the entertainment or Its distinguished guests.- The former dissecting hall was de stroyed by fire-4n June, entailing a losi of about $9C0. on which there as $1,"0 of insurance. The bullring .was Im mediately replaced so as in have all In.readiness for the classes In the fall. The new building Is 70 by 32 feet and cost about $1600. It Is an Improve ment In every respect over the oil one and will doubtless pnA-e quite satisfactory for the present.. In accordance with the resolution . passed at the commencement meeting of the trustees, work has been com menced upon a biological laboratory, o be called Davie HafT In honor of Own. William It Davie.- Vhose unselflnh and unremitting labors In behalf of the University did so much to tide it . over Ha early years and J. mould It for its future that he has justly been called he Father of the University." The building committee consists of Julian S. Carr. Alfred II. Scales. George G. Stephens for the trustees, and Henry V. Wilson and Francis P. Venable for the faculty. This build ing will be of-grey ptessed brick, 12x 41 feet, with two stories, b:tsement ani nome attic rooms. It Is to accommo date .the department of oology and botany and wiil?te situated on tne eastern side of the University near tne arboretum which Is beginning to take shape. - It Is a . source of gratification to all friends of the University that Its equip- ment has been so materially increased In recent years. And yet in rach an nual report I am forced to appear In the role of one crying for more help. The University tat growing very rap idly." This year will see a total en rollment of about eight hundred stu-; L . n f Wo A p. all4 nnnn I lr a .. - - I 11.1 . ..i. . 1. u u "11 , - , . .p with the demand of a great Stats J'ift awakening to Its possibilities, of a great people who must be trained and the way opened for them to the greatest productiveness and service. It was fyr this that the fathers plan ned, for'fhis that the University was established. , We find ourselves hampered at every turn. There Is not room In dorml tcrles and town combined fir the stu dents who would enter. The Com mons Rail Is. inadequate In site and equipment, thus forcing many students t" pay from $3 to more a month for board a chari( which many tf them can III afford. .There are not suf-i flrlenl lecture rorst for further di-, l-lm of the ' classes. Other labora tories are badly neelcd and Incrcawd equipment The lisiitig plant, heat-i Inj system and waterworks must all1 be enlarged. To sum up, the Unlvc sity should be placed Immediately up on an efficient basis for the highest, best work and this mean the expendl-, ture of at least $350,000. I feel It my duty to make the things known even though It is Impossible for you to plan for present relief. , INCREASED COST O" LIVING. The average of expenses at the Uni versity has Increased considerably since the vbpglnnlng of my adminis tration In 1900. During the session of 100-01 I asked for Itemized accounts, and estimates and reports were hand ed In by several hundred students. A fair average then for those -who, un der scholarships, paid no tuition was $150; for others It was $250. While I have made no complete investigation I should say that these figures should now be changed to $250 and $356, re spectively. . . ' It is not easy to account for this except on the principle of a general change In the standard of living, to gether, with Increased cost of board. The University fees have been Increas ed very little. The boarding houses In town have raised their charge four or five dollars a month, while the Uni versity Commons, where over one third of the students board, has raised Its price to nine dollars a month, in additional charge of only one dollar." The difference must lie In clothes and Incidental expenses, under which head come many things which were once regarded as unnecessary, but are now Indulged in. Much of - the needless cost of commencement In the way of banquets, souvenirs, etc., has been vol untarily cut out by the students. If we sum It all up. however, I think It will be faund that the total change Is simply In keeping with the changed standards of living of the times. Still, L regard It as most necessary that everything be done to keep the absolutely necessary cost of education as low as' possible and within the reach of every young . man In the State who has a will to get It, how ever poor he may be. Two things are necessary to this end. The University Commons must be large enough to of fer cheap board to every one who applies. Its present equipment is tax ed to the utmost to accommodate two hundred and fifty men. This a?com modfttfon should be doubled. The old dormitories, which from necessity have been turned Intq lecture halls and laboratories, should be restored to their original uses and thus furniih lodgings for a cansiderable number of Unen. The prices of rooms In the iCow-n average much higher than in the dormitories and are Increasing ev ery year, v , Too much outside work generally tells upon the-scholarship of the stu dent. Hence it is im4U-rt.vu that there should 'be other mesi.3 of he'p ing. This i furnished bv the lonn funds of which there are two, the Deems fund amounting to J27.000. and the .Martin fund, $7,500, of which only the interest Is available. Loans from these funds ore limited si that no student can ol?rburden himself with debt. The bursar's report shows $4,269.60 loaned during the year and flfty-slx students helped. i is prob ably a conservative "estimate to- sav that one-half of the total number of students either earner borrow In part or in whole the moiey needed for their education. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. The crying need of the schools Is for more well trained ttachers. More than seventy-five request tor teach ers which reached the University had to be turned down for lack of men. The reports of Professors W alker, No ble and Toy which are appended to this paper will show what the Univer sity ls doing to meet this demand. EJch year a goodly percentage of the graduates and many of the under graduates go out to teach in the schools. A summer term for teach ers has also been established and ninny will take advantage of this mode of Improving themselves . for their work. Professors Noble and Walker have helped In the teachers' institutes held here unj there over the State. They have also visited many tchool superintendents' meet ings and delivered nuny addresses. A short course for teacner is map ped out and offered in tho catalogue, and a number of our students are preparing themselves to teach, lth er In this, or better still, in the full University course. But we realize thift much more must be done. Pro fersor Walker suggests tho plan which I recommended In my report of 1903 and In subsequent reports, namely the tfltabllshment of a teacher' collego In connection with the University. This will require an annual outlay of at least $5,000, but I am convinced that such a training schodl for teach ers would cost the State i.iuch more If established elsewhere because of needle? duplication and that It In an absolute necessity for tho efficiency and success of the public school sys tem. ' INTERESTING POLICE CASE. Mavor of Rook Hill Trio 'While- Man For Drunkenness and Resisting an, Officer uerendant 1-niOfi sas and Appeals Case Watched 'AVlth In terest. ' pecinl to Th Observer. ' Pwock Hill. S. C. Jan. 23. One ' of the largest mayor's cob rts held here In many dsys' was held yesterday after noon in the City II ill Auditorium, the mayor's office not being large enough to accommodate the visitors, witness es, jurymen, policemen and recorder. The case 'grew'out of the arrest last Saturday by Officer Charlie Miller of O. E. Lay. an employe tt the Carhartt Cotton Mills, for drunkenness. In carrying Lay to the lock-up. Miller was usslsted by Mr. J. A. Bobbins, and it seems Lay was pulling back and otherwise giving the offiocr and his a eltant somo trouble when .lffieer Miller used his club with telling effect so much so that a physician was carried to the lock-up to dress Lay's wounds, but the man wax so crazed from drink, that tne vounds were not dressed until Sunday morning. Lay was Indicted under two charges, public drunkenness and resisting ar rest. He asked or a Jury trial, and the following gentlemen and business men st on same: E. E. Cloud, fore man; J. Ed. Iloddpy. J. C. Lindsay. George Beach, and J. N. McElwee. Lay was represented by Attorney Mr fTow. of YorkviUe, and th city by W. B. Wilson, of. this city, and during the examination of the many witnesses on both sides these lawyers had sever al lively tiUs. The ease was given to the Jury late yesterday evening and they brought in the following ver dicts after about two hours delibera tion: Guilty of public drunkenness; not guilty of resisting arrest. Re corder Craig fined Lay $- or days for drunkenness. He through h!s at torney. McDow. appealed to the Cir cuit Court There was much comment Indulged In concerning thK case, and the outcome- wiM - be witched wi;h interest by many, as it Is reliably stated that i officer Miller will be prisecutej byj Lav for assault and battling with In-i tent n kill. Officer Miller says-Lsyl whs fitemptlrg to draw a pistol at; the time he struck him. nut ll wasj proven Lay had iw. gwn on him.

As Is always the case many things went at a "dirt" cneap price, and others sold well. tr. Houston, when asked what -was his reason for the sale, replied, "the difficulty in get ting hands to work the farm and the cosily price of the Xarm labor that can be gotten." He is reducing his agricultural operations to small . di mensions for the present, -small at least compared with his previous i "rec ord, and will wait until conditions change before going in heavily again.
