Interesting History of j..
Abbeuille's Colleges
ERsKINE COLLEGE.

Abbeville county has an interesting
history. Into this history would enter
an account of two of it's schools. The
Waddell school was famous in its day
and had part in the education of
some of the most celebrated men of
the state. This history of this school
should be kept as part of the worthy
heritage of the county.
Another school of which the peo-
pie of Abbeville county should know
and in which they should take just
pride is Erskine College. Its origin
and founding lie back in the pre-.
ceding century.
The Associate Reformed Presby-
terian Synod of the South was or
esnized in 1903. It soon became in
terested in the question of educa-
ton, for this church insisted upon
an educated ministry. It's first
thought was for Theological Semi
nary in which to train candidates fol
the ministry.
But the Synod soon recognized the
necessity for school to give instruc-
tion preliminary and preparatory to
theological training.
In 1884, steps were taken looking
to the establishment of one or more
manual labor schools. The under
taking was found impracticable.
The next year it was decided to
establish q school at Due West cor
ner to be known as the Academy of
Due West Corner" Prof. John s.
Pressly was elected teacher. The
school was ready for classes in Feb
ruary, 1886, and twenty boys en-
rolled for classical instruction.
In 1887 the name Of the school
was changed to "Clark and Erskine
Seminary" In 1889 the name was
changed to Erskine College and the
school was advanced to collegiate
standing. The first president was
DR.. E. E. Pressly.
The first building was erected in
1S43.. This building was burned in
1892 and the present handsome and
commodious building was erected.
This is known as the

Aim of the College.

<HAA&4 ~ sssS ~S6Ss .
Erskine college was founded il
large part to furnish educated minis
ters for the church,. But no! smal
part Of the purpose was ITO educate
the youth of the church and the
state under positive christian influ'
ences. ... a.-&
It was felt by the fathers that
manhood must not be divorced from
scholarship, but that scholarship
should be the weapon Of a character
shot through and through, moved,
and directed, by christian principles
and impulses.
To this end Erskine College. has
always required the students to at
tend daily chapel exercises, Bible
class. Sabbath morning with one Of
the professors in charge, and to at.
tend one preaching service on Sab
bath.
To this end also, the professors
chosen have been men of positive
christian character and of high
christian ideals. Of the professors
teaching in the college at present
two are ordained ministers, four are
elders in the church and one is 6
deacon. The others who are not off.

Main Building

in which are the recitation rooms
laboratory, library, Y. M. c. A. hall
recitation rooms for the theological
students, and the spacious auditori.
um in which the commencement ex.
ercises and other public exercises
are held.
Other buildings upon the campus
The College Home
a dormitory for young men. About
seventy young men can be accommo
dated in it. = T..
The Wylie Home
a dormitory for young women. This
building was erected by Joseph Wy
lie as a memorial to his wife, Mar.
tina Wylie. Mr.. Wylie endowed the
building so that all the young ladies
in the Wylie Home receive free tut.
ton in Erskine College.
Tho Euphemian Hall
nice, new, building, the home of the
Euphemian literary society. =.
The Philomathsan Hall
the home of the Philomathean liter
ary society. This building was re-
Gently worked over both on the out
side and on the inside and presents
q real work Of art.
The societies meet in these halls
every Friday afternoon and Friday
night and engage in declamations,
oration, and debating. A very valu4
able training is received by the
young men in the art of public
speaking. ....
The young ladies have literary
society called the Calliopean Society,
but they have no hall. They meet
in one of the rooms of the Wylie
Home.
The In6rmary.
For. some years the need was felt
for a quiet place to which sick stu
dents might be taken for their COM
fort and best treatment, and in which
cases of contagious ailments might
BE isolated Three years ago a
friend of the college donated funds
sufficient to build and equip a small
>infrmary.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1916-10-25

GERS are active members Of the
church. a
The idea Oh those controlling the
college,: as it was the idea Of the
founders, is that the. personal ele
|ment iss perhaps the most potent
force in shaping the character Of the
students, and accordingly, the char:
acter, and example Of the college
professors will determine very large
ly the character and conduct of the
students. etr 80 rss.
To the same end also, in recent
years, the Bible has been put into
the college course. It is not sought
to inculcate any sectarian principles
or tenets, but to saturate the mind
of the pupils with Scripture con.
ceptions and ideals. It is believed
that there is no better way to make
good men and good women. =
The Faculty.
Perhaps, you already know the
members of the faculty but a new
introduction may give you better
knowledge. ...

He has been teaching in Erskine
College for more than 80 years. He
took his doctors degree in Princeton

The Roddey Cup.


Mr.. w. j. Roddey of Rock Hill, of.
fered silver trophy cup to the lit
erary society ip Erskine College, the
members Of which makes the highest
average in scholarship. The award il
made each year and the winning 30
Eciety holds the cup for the year fol.
lowing. The Philomathean society
has won the cup once and the CALI
opean society twice in the three
years. Where is the man who once
discounted the brain power of wo-
men? ... .,.. -.
The Cup For Debating.
At every annual commencement
ione feature Of the exercises is "a
debate participated in by represen-
ltatives of the Euphemian and Philo-
mathean literary societies. An hon
ored alumnus has offered a hand
some cup to be given to the Society
whose representatives win the de-
bate. The name of the winning So
ciety and the date of the triumph are
craven upon the cup, and the cup is
held in the custody of the winning
society until the next annual con-
test. The Philomatheans have won
the cup once and the Euphemians
twice. f}SHSEss
