Coastal Carolina Campus USC COASTAL CAROLINA COLLEGE

Higher Education in Horry County had its beginning with the formation of the Coastal Education _Foundation on July 23, 1954. The Foundation, an eleemosynary cooperation, gave birth to the Horry County Higher Education Commission which was created by statute on April 9, 1959. These two groups established and supported Coastal Carolina Junior College, the forerunner of Coastal Carolina College of the University of South Carolina. Coastal Carolina College signed its first contract with the University of South Carolina on August 1, 1959, and received its first students with the beginning of the fall semester on Sep­ tember 16, 1960. Coastal Carolina served as a two-year regional campus of the University for the next thirteen years. By special legislation, Coastal Carolina added a junior year to its educational program with the fall semester, 1973. Subsequently, the senior year followed, and Coastal Carolina became a four-year branch of the University of South Carolina with authority to award baccalaureate degrees. The College now has a student population of 3000 with 116 full-time faculty members. Students may pursue associate and baccalaureate degrees in sixteen fields of study, while par­ ticipating in more than thirty student clubs and organizations.

THE CAROLINAMACE

The University's Mace, designed and fashioned by the world famous English silversmith Leslie Durbin, is the symbol of the University's corporate entity and authority as well as of the endeavors of the entire university community. It was created and dedicated in 1967 and is carried in procession on occasions of outstanding importance, such as degree-granting ceremonies or formal dedications. Placing the Mace on its stand is a signal that the proce ed­ ings are about to come to order; its retirement indicates that the exercises arc concluded . The Mace, representing the whole of the University, is carried in today's graduation procession by Coastal's senior faculty member, Professor James Branham. Professor Branham has been a member of the Coastal Carolina College Department of History for the past twenty.one years. ------...... _...,.------USC EDUCATIONALFOUNDATION TEACHING AWARD FOUR-YEARCAMPUSES

Since pilgrims of learning, we entered thy walls, And found dearest comrades in thy classic halls; We've honored and loved thee, as sons faithfully; Here's a health, Carolina, forever to thee!

Fair shrine of high honor and truth, thou shalt still Blaze forth as a beacon, thy mission fulfill; And be crowned by all hearts in a new jubilee; Here's a health, Carolina, forever to thee!
