Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Much has been written about the relationship between a president and his or her university. Many of the comments have become cliché. "It's not a job, it's an obsession," or "A president's life is a 24/7 commitment." One of the funniest quips defines a university president as someone who lives in a mansion but is always begging for money. How true! Far less has been written about the meaning and impact of actually living in the President's House, particularly a house located in the very heart of South Carolina's flagship university. Now, for the first time, Patricia has succeeded in rendering the house a home and has brought its former residents to life in this wonderfully approachable book. And even though I live in the house, I freely admit that, through Patricia's colorful recounting, I have become reacquainted with its rich history and understand our great good fortune to be its residents"--

Jackson defeated him three times but he never gave up and died on the way back to D.C. trying to prevent the Trail of Tears. Without him there would have been no Jackson. Six generations of the Williams family now break their silence and tell their side of the story. Cautioned by Jackson supporters on the Senate floor to fear the General he replied, "You tell the General that if he challenges me I shall pick rifles at twenty paces and shoot him between the eyes where he cannot pad with paper." Dolly Madison called him the Chesterfield of the Senate and Simone Bolivar nicknamed him "the elegant gentleman." Did he and his family cause Jackson to lose the Presidency in 1824? He said "there was no 'Corrupt Bargain'"and he wrote a book that was "suppressed by the Party." He was written out of history. I send you here a little book, For you to look upon, Where you may see a Hero's face when he is past and gone. -John Williams in The Political Mirror

Jordan drove his '57 'Vette down the hill after crossing the Colorado River and stopped at the front door of the clubhouse at the end of the eighteenth fairway. There was no reason there should be any smoke coming from the chimney. He went inside to investigate. After hearing a loud noise from upstairs, he backed into the shadows at the base of the stairwell and noticed the sister of his betrothed wife, Megan Russell, rushing down the stairs. Unknown to all, Megan and Jordan were secretly in love with each other. The brightness of the full moon shone through the windows and reflected off the tears of the young woman as she raced out the door. Jordan listened and heard a key turn in the lock. He was frightened by what he saw and wasted no time racing upstairs. It was there where he found Ariella Russell lying dead on a sofa near the fireplace. Numerous pillows covered her body. She appeared to have been poisoned, but purple blotches found on her neck slowly turned black showing that she had been strangled to death. Since the case involved Ariella Russell, a leading socialite of Marble Falls and Jordan McGuire, the President of Horseshoe Bay Country Club, the DA and County Coroner, a would-be detective, got became involved in the case. Soon they found that they were over their heads in "whodunnit." They called in a famed veteran detective from Dallas, Texas, Vince James Gideon.

Book Synopsis The University of South Carolina by : Elizabeth Cassidy West
Download or read book The University of South Carolina written by Elizabeth Cassidy West and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006-10 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On December 19, 1801, the South Carolina legislature established the South Carolina College, one of the nation's first publicly supported institutions of higher education. In the past two centuries, the institution has evolved from a small liberal arts college with one campus into a large modern university with eight spacious campuses. Carolina's heart, however, remains firmly nestled in the site of its original campus, the historic Horseshoe. Throughout its history, Carolina has faced challenges that at times threatened its existence, including the burning of Columbia in 1865, when the destructive fire swept up to the walls of the campus. Several reorganizations and name changes culminated in the school's final reorganization in 1906 as the University of South Carolina. The university adapted to history's societal changes, including the admission of women, desegregation, and the student unrest of the 1970s. This volume draws extensively from the collections of the University of South Carolina Archives to chronicle Carolina's remarkable history through images of its founders, administrators, faculty, campus, and most importantly, its students.
Download or read book Crab Wars written by William Sargent and published by University Press of New England. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surviving almost unmolested for 300 million years, the horseshoe crab is now the object of an intense legal and ethical struggle involving marine biologists, environmentalists, US government officials, biotechnologists, and international corporations. The source of this friction is the discovery 25 years ago that the blood of these ancient creatures serves as the basis for the most reliable test for the deadly and ubiquitous gram-negative bacteria. These bacteria are responsible for life-threatening diseases like menengitis, typhoid, E. coli, Legionnaire's Disease and toxic shock syndrome. Because every drug certified by the FDA must be tested using the horseshoe crab derivative known as Limulus lysate, a multimillion dollar industry has emerged involving the license to "bleed" horseshoe crabs and the rights to their breeding grounds. Since his youthful fascination with these ancient creatures, William Sargent has spent much of his life observing, studying, and collecting horseshoe crabs. As a result, he presents a thoroughly accessible insider's guide to the discovery of the lysate test, the exploitation of the crabs at the hands of multinational pharmaceutical conglomerates, local fishing interests, and the legal and governmental wrangling over the creatures' ultimate fate. In the end, the story of the horseshoe crab is a sobering reflection on the unintended consequences of scientific progress and the danger of self-regulated industries controlling a limited natural resource.
