Summary

"Richard F. Galehouse has been involved in the university's master planning work for more than twenty-five years, making him more than qualified to take a lapidary look not only at the present and unfolding plans for the university, but also at the historic path that has brought it to its current luster. Encompassing its earliest days as South Carolina College in 1801 (almost two decades before Thomas Jefferson's University of Virginia); the devastating effects of the Civil War; the 'crisis years' between 1861 and 1915, when the institution was closed twice and reorganized five times; and some bungled urban planning in the 1950s and 60s, Galehouse's candid examination details the growth of the university and speaks hopefully about its present and its future."--Front flap of jacket
