Life and Times at the South Carolina College, 1805-1905

Abstract

Visitors approaching the campus of the University of South Carolina will first see the tops of the modern high-rise buildings that attest to the dynamic growth of the institution in recent years. But as they enter the section of the campus known as the "Horseshoe" and look upon the graceful array of nineteenth-century buildings lining a brick drive, they will sense that this part of the campus has a history all its own. This catalog will tell some of that story and provide a glimpse of student life at the University during the period when it was known as the South Carolina College and its boundaries were the brick walls surrounding the Horseshoe area.
