Strom Thurmond. No joke. Yes, I've known about this for a while. No, I didn't know about this before I applied.

Phox was like, you're joking, right?  :lulz: :horrormirth:

Thought I'd just tell everyone (finally), for the horrormirth.

wtf

Yeah. John Calhoun's summer house is also on campus,  rebuilt into a plantation house post civil war by the guy the university is named after. If you recall he was instrumental in South Carolina's succession.

Welcome to the South.  :lulz:

Hell, they have a statue of Benjamin Tillman on the statehouse grounds. It's tough to get worse than that guy.

Yeah. Like I was saying about the waterfalls, it would be a damn pretty state if it weren't for all the people.

My school's ROTC building is named after Nathan Bedford Forrest.

There was a fuss about it a few years ago. I don't think it got changed.

I think all mine's institutes were just called institutes.  Ie; the Institute for Medieval Studies.

That's likely due to the sinister purpose to which they were put, and so they needed innocuous sounding names.

My college was named after the man who okayed the idea of giving smallpox blankets to Indians.

Technically, the university was named after the town it's in, which was named after him.

The campus of my state university is named after the richest Jew in RI who likes to give lots of money to schools and po' kids as long as they put one of his queer ass quotes on the wall of the school.

I'm okay with this.

Yes, that was my exact reaction.

Though, the plantation house was very pretty and had lots of neat stuff in it.
