...main highway which runs through the sleepy South Carolina town of Orangeburg are the weathered buildings of the state's Colored Normal, Industrial, Agricultural, and Mechanical College. They are old buildings, belonging for the most part to generations long past. An air of decay pervades the 50-acre, unkempt campus. It is a decay bred from apathy--apathy of the State Legislature, of the board of trustees, of the 1300 or so students who know they are getting an education that is second-rate.

...swam it like a beaver heading for a woodyard. As he emerged dripping, on the other side, he thought, dazedly, that he ought to call the fire department. This was unnecessary. Windows had been broken and the populace jolted for miles around; the fire departments of Pearl River, Sparkill, Orangeburg, Park Ridge, Northvale and Montvale were already on their way.
