In 1909, the University of South Carolina sat on its Horseshoe in Columbia, the state capital, a town that ran on government offices, cotton trade, and the railroads that met there. The state's economy still leaned heavily on cotton farming, while textile mills were spreading through the Piedmont and drawing rural families into factory work. The campus had been battered during the Civil War, when Union troops burned much of Columbia in February 1865, and it had struggled through the Reconstruction years before rebuilding its reputation as the state's leading public college. For Columbians and students of that era, the university was a source of local pride and a point of rivalry with the agricultural and technical college at Clemson.
