"With its impressive faculty and the South Caroliniana Library, the University of South Carolina has taken its place among the very best institutions in which to study southern history and culture. The appointments the Department has made over the past decade speak for themselves, and I strongly recommend the University to my graduating seniors at Berkeley."
—Leon Litwack, Pulitzer Prize winning historian
