cr, was first made associate principal, and then superintendent, Prof. 

 Hughston continuing to preside over the mute department. 



In 1873, this institution was again compelled to suspend, owing to the 

 failure of the Republican Legislature to make appropriations for its 

 maintenance.. It was reoj)ened in 187G, and has since then been in a 

 prosperous condition. 



An instructor in Bell's system of visible speech was added to the fac- 

 ulty, in 1880, and a number of the mutes are making gratifying progress 

 in the art of conversation. 



There are in attendance fourteen blind, and forty-eight deaf and dumb 

 pupils. 



The institution is supported by an annual appropriation of $10,000, 

 and is under control of a Board of Commissioners. 



In 1882, an appropriation of $1000 was made for a department for col- 

 ored mutes.

MEDICAL COLLEGE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. 



The " Medical College of South Carolina," under the control of the 

 Medical Society of South Carolina, and located in Charleston, received 

 its charter from the State in 1825. In consequence of some difference 

 between the professors and the society, the former resigned, in 1832, and 

 a new faculty was elected, which conducted the college until 1839, at 

 which time it was permanently closed. 



The professors who had resigned from the old Medical College imme- 

 diately organized another Medical College, which was chartered under 

 the name of" The Medical College of the State of South Carolina," and 

 which still exists. A full Board of Trustees was elected, with Mr. Na- 

 thaniel Heyward as President. 



The faculty was organized as follows : 



J. Edward Holbrook, M. D. ; Samael Henry Dickson, M. D. ; Thomas 

 G. Prioleau, M. D. ; Edmund Ravenel, M. D. ; Henry R. Frost, M. D. ;
