Excerpt from History of the South Carolina College: From Its Incorporation December 19, 1801, to Nov, 25, 1857, Including Sketches of Its Presidents and Professors With an Appendix
The reader will observe that my sketches are introduced at the time when the several officers left the service of the College. I might have grouped them together, but I pre ferred the former order, because, among other reasons, it breaks the monotony of historical narrative, and furnishes an agreeable episode. It would have given me great pleasure to have embraced in my sketches the Tutors of the College; but this was not practicable. Many of them held their offices for a short period, and are now either dead or in dis tant lands, and it was not possible to procure material for such a purpose. Could it have been done, it would have added no little to the interest of the work, as many of them were men of talent and high attainments, and rendered a really valuable service. I have therefore, with a single exception, restricted myself to those who had entire charge of a department of instruction, or who at some period of their. Connection became members of the Faculty.
