In celebration of the University of South Carolina's bicentennial,
this remarkable volume reveals the personal stories of Carolina
students over the past two hundred years. Told in their own words,
these writings -- from antebellum manuscripts to e-mails -- capture
the color and spirit of the times, revealing attitudes and
opinions, issues and passions. From those first young boys chopping
wood to warm their rooms, to today's young men and women surrounded
by the latest technology, the voices of Carolina's students testify
to the transforming power of the college experience.
To gather this collection of texts from 1801 to the present, the
editors searched family papers, collections of letters, university
archives, autobiographies and histories, journals and diaries,
student newspapers and literary magazines, and oral histories.
In this volume students share their own versions of the
University of South Carolina story -- explaining their activities,
voicing their opinions, cheering their teams, and sometimes writing
home from far away. Some of their concerns have changed;
twenty-first century students worry more about parking tickets and
phone bills than the price of fuel or the threat of smallpox.
Throughout the years, however, each generation weaves tales of
living conditions and classroom practices with in the context of
larger historical events. In their letters and diaries, poems and
memoirs, editorials and e-mails, students illustrate a colorful
picture of campus history and evoke the important events of their
time. Their words provide intimate illustrations of life on and
around the campus as they reveal the rich history of the University
of South Carolina.
