Abstract: Let $G$ be a finite group. Let $X_1(G)$ be the first column of the ordinary character table of $G.$ In this paper, we will show that if $X_1(G)=X_1(S_n),$ then $Gcong{S}_n.$ As a consequence, we show that $S_n$ is uniquely determined by the structure of the complex group algebra $C{S}_n.$
