; LURENSVILLr. FEMALE COLLEGE \
of the Laurensville Female College
some
: 11 to in
duce the Methodist Conference to es
tablish the first Methodist Female Col
lege in the town Of Laurens. At the .
Annn.il Session of Conference, in No
vember, IV.:'.. the location for the pro
jected college was still undecided
upon, hut among the many towns con
testing for the honor. Laurens was
among the number, and when con- :
ference finally designated Spartan
burg. Laurens. Greenville, Newberry
and Camden as the only towns that
would be Considered as contestants,
new zeal and energy were kindled in
the hearts of the citizens and imme
diately Mr. lt. M. Stokes, the editor
of the Laurensville Herald, began,
with renewed hope, a series of strong
editorials In an effort to arouse the
people to the importance of having
the college located at Laurens. As
had been decided upon at the Novem
ber session of conference, the com
mittee having in c harge the matter of 1
deciding upon the location met in
Spartanburg on the 4th of July, 1853.
and Laurens' claims were laid before
that body. Suffice it to say. however.
Laurens failed to gain the prize, and
this very fact, perhaps, more than all
else, contributed to emphasize the
need of such an institution, and con
tributions from various leading cit
izens began to pour iu upon the ed
itor, and among the number were
several pointed and able articles writ
ten by the late Col. J. P. Hoyt. (father
of Col. J. A. Hoyt, late deceased).
These articles from the pen of Col.
Hoyt. especially, so aroused the cit
izens to the imperative need of a first
class institution of learning, that sub
scription lists were soon in circula
tion and it was not long before the
necessary funds were subscribed with
which to erect the building. The
building was finally completed, and
I In Just five years from the day the
agitation for a college was first begun
the Laurensville Female College was
opened to the public with a fine corps
of teachers, this auspicious day being
the second Monday in February. IK.'iS.
The Rev. E. T. Buist. I). l>.. was Its
first president, assisted by the follow
ing corps of teachers:
Rev. David Wills, professor of Log
ic. Rhetoric and Heiles Letters.
Rev. '/.. L. Holmes, professor of
Mathematics and Natural Philosophy.
Mrs. c. m. Vernon, teacher of the
English department ami of French.
Miss Sarah C. Pilot, teacher of Mu
sic and the ornamental branches.
Dr. .lohn W. Simpson was president
of the hoard of trustees, and in the
announcement of the opening of the
college the trustees notified the pub
lic that a gentleman teacher of music
would be secured as soon as Ho- occa
sion demanded it.
True? to their promise, or announce
ment, sometime during (he adminis
tration of Dr. Pulst. Prof. Carl Cus
tav Jaeger was added to the faculty
as the head of the music department
and was succeeded by Prof. Fisher
under Dr. Jacobs' first administration.
Also, that "('apt. John M. MeCHn
tOCk; an elder in the Presbyterian
Church, ran accommodate twelve
young ladies with hoard. Including
fuel, at $10.(1(1 per month." And for
years Capt. McCllntOCk's home, as a
boarding house for the young lady
students, was Inseparable from the
college, and stood on the site now oc
cupied by the residence of Col. .lames
ii. Traynham. Many ladies now liv
ing In the town and county cherish
fond recollections of the days when
they attended the Laurensville Female
College and boarded at the "McC'llil
toc-k House."
Although the college was t uilt by
; jpular subscription <the f-.::;<;s bei -
raised almost entirely in the town ?
(?<".::.'>? of Laurens) it was placed uu
? of the f ! S
Carolina, but was patronized through
? ? . Ii
H:. Buist, its first president, mien
im: in July. 1S61, aft-.-r having grad
uated four classes during l.is admin
istration of a little over three yearn,
was followed by the Rev. Ferdinn d
Jacobs, I). 1?. And although the col
lege had a succession cd presidents
and widely varying fortunes. Dr. Ja
cobs guided its destiny all through
the four years of the war. and chiving
his administration the college proba
bly enjoyed its highest meed of praise
and usefulne ss. The atti ndance wan
larger, perhaps, during these four
years than at any other time during
the life of the college. While Hr Ja
cobs had no superior in the Mat-* tut
a teacher, perhaps, the large attend
ance which the college enjoyed durina
the war is accounted for In a great
measure by Dr. Jacobs' being a na
tive of Charleston and those of bet
citizens who refugced in the up.coun
try came to Laurens. many c f them
out of personal regard for Dr. Jacobi .
where they or their children could
receive the benefits of the splendid
educational advantages which Dr. In
cobs' school afforded. He resigned
the presidency of the college in ,h;i>
lv'.r,. after graduating four Classes,
and was succeeded by Dr. Samuel I
Price, of Virginia, who took ch e go
of the school In i860, remaining two
years and graduating two classes,
Major J. A. Leland next assumed
the duties of president and continued
in that capacity until isTI, and gave
diplomas to three classes.
in isTi! Rev. J. R. Riley was made
president and continued at the head
of the school for four years. During
his administration of affairs the o
