The Alumni Association’s J. Waties Waring Societ The Alumni Association’s J. Waties Waring Society kicked off Spring Alumni Weekend last Friday afternoon with a reception at the Anthony J. Meyer ‘49 Alumni Welcome Center at Towell Library. More photos are available on our Facebook page (link in our bio).

All former members of the Alumni Association’s Board of Directors are members of the Waring Society. The Society is named for CofC alumnus J. Waties Waring, Class of 1900, who served as President of the Alumni Association from 1916-18. The Waring Society pin features the College’s distinctive “double C” logo from that period. Judge Waring later became a notable leader in the Civil Rights movement, authoring a precedent for Brown vs. Board of Education, and working with Thurgood Marshall to obtain a Supreme Court ruling to end segregation in schools.

What do you wear to A Charleston Affair? That’s What do you wear to A Charleston Affair? That’s the question flooding our inbox this week! Coat and tie/cocktail, of course, but make it fun and festive: Bright colors, florals, maxis, bow ties, madras, seersucker, linen, pique, polished cotton—you name it, you’ll see it. Think “summer wedding meets garden party.” #CharlestonAffair veterans will tell you comfortable footwear is essential. Remember those bricks and tree roots that tripped you on the way to class 10 years ago? They’re still here, so avoid spiked heels. Plus, you’ll want to dance the night away. See you soon!
