Presbyterian College (Sc) (College History) Nancy Griffith

Founded in 1880, Presbyterian College exists today as the manifestation of one manís dream. William Plumer Jacobs, minister of Clintonís first Presbyterian church and founder of Thornwell Orphanage, envisioned Clinton as a center for Presbyterian education in South Carolina. His dream, supported by generations who followed him, has created and maintained this strong liberal arts college, keeping it rich in the ideals of honor and service. ÝÝPresbyterian College includes more than 200 vintage photographs that trace the course of the collegeís development over its near 125-year existence. Dedicated presidents, inspiring faculty, and a variety of students are featured, as well as the campusís Georgian architecture, which immediately signifies Presbyterian College. The long and rich Blue Hose athletic tradition is thoroughly explored and varied aspects of student lifeófrom choir tours to Greek lifeóare recounted. Ý
