History of theUniversity of South CarolinaChartered in 1801 as South Carolina College, the Universityof South Carolina was the first state university to be supportedcontinuously by annual state appropriations. In the years beforethe Civil War, it rapidly achieved a reputation for academicexcellence in the classical tradition and was known as oneof the best endowed and most distinguished colleges in theUnited States. Its faculty included Francis Lieber, editor of theEncyclopaedia Americana and author of On Civil Liberty andSelf-Government; the nationally known scientists John andJoseph LeConte; and chemist William Ellet, who producedsome of the first daguerreotypes in the United States. By the1830s, distinguished alumni virtually filled the state’s GeneralAssembly. James H. Hammond and Wade Hampton were themost prominent of a parade of future governors, senators,judges, and generals who graduated during the antebellumperiod.The pre-Civil War campus included Longstreet Theatreand all the buildings in the area known today as the Horseshoe(with the exception of McKissick Museum). When the voluntaryenlistment of all students into the Army of the Confederacyforced the college to close in June 1862, the buildings wereused by the Confederate government as a hospital. By thetime General Sherman’s army reached Columbia in February1865, the hospital housed wounded Union soldiers as well. Afire soon started that destroyed most of the city, but federaltroops helped save the campus buildings from the flames.After reopening in 1865, the institution went through sixreorganizations and name changes during the last decades ofthe 19th century, while legislators, administrators, and facultiesreassessed the institution’s goals and struggled to define itsmission. Finally in 1906, at the beginning of its second century,it was rechartered for the third, and last, time as the Universityof South Carolina, with a graduate school.In sharp contrast to the South Carolina College’santebellum, elitist philosophy, President William Davis Meltonin 1925 expressed a far-reaching principle that had emergedin the first quarter of the century: “Education is not a specialprivilege to be enjoyed by a special few.” Thus, in its final1
reorganization, the University of South Carolina developed thisinstitutional objective: to furnish both liberal and professionaleducation to the people of South Carolina.Efforts to achieve this objective were almost immediatelyhampered by the early arrival of the Great Depression in SouthCarolina. Enrollment declined, some courses were eliminated,and buildings went without repairs. The situation improvedgreatly in the late 1930s because of grants from federal NewDeal agencies. Then America entered World War II, and thecampus was virtually transformed into a naval training base,with payments from the Navy helping the school continue tofunction during the war years.Fulfillment of the promise of the early years of the 20thcentury began in earnest in the 1950s. Since then, dynamicacademic expansion and the development of a statewidenetwork of campuses have produced highly diverse andinnovative education programs. A commitment to graduateeducation along with involvement in major research programshas attracted an outstanding faculty.In keeping with both its 19th-century and its 20th-centuryheritage, the University continues to promote academicexcellence while responding progressively to its educationalresponsibilities and the citizens of South Carolina. It hascommitted itself to earning a place in the Association ofAmerican Universities (AAU), which includes 60 of the finestinstitutions of higher learning in America. Pursuing this goal, theUniversity aspires to build upon its commitment to enhancingnot only our students’ knowledge, understanding, and economicviability, but also their sense of character, empathy, and mutualrespect. Such ambitions and ideals were cornerstones of theoriginal college and remain fundamental to the University’spurpose in South Carolina and in society.2
