Limestone College was founded in 1845 in Gaffney, South Carolina as the first women's college in the state. It has a long history of pioneering higher education access for those who otherwise may not have had the opportunity, including women in the 1800s, local men in the early 1900s through commuter programs, and working adults through its Block Program starting in the 1970s. Limestone has grown to be a coeducational liberal arts institution of over 3,500 students both on its main campus and through extended campus programs. It has strengthened the local community through teacher training and adult education initiatives while becoming a leader in online education.
Woodstock School was founded in 1854 as a Protestant girls' school in Mussoorie, India. It later became a coeducational boarding school offering education up to the high school level for missionary families in India. In the early 20th century, Woodstock began offering college degrees through affiliation with local universities. Major changes in the 1920s transformed Woodstock into an interdenominational, multiracial school with expanded academic and extracurricular programs. In recent decades, Woodstock has prioritized its academic offerings, obtained international accreditation, celebrated its 150th anniversary, and opened an outdoor education center.

This document discusses the history of special education in the United States from 1893 to the present. It outlines several important court cases and laws that helped establish and expand special education services, including Watson v. City of Cambridge in 1893, Title V of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in 1965, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act in 1973, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act in 1975, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act in 1990. The document also notes how societal views of people with disabilities have changed from a deficit perspective that prevented many from receiving help to a greater acceptance of students' right to specialized instruction.

This document provides an overview of the design of Maximlite Schools, which were created in the 1950s by architect T. Ewing Shelton to maximize natural light in classrooms. The hexagonal design of Maximlite schools allowed for more wall surface area to bring in exterior light. Glass blocks and windows further increased natural light levels while reducing glare. Studies found the lighting design provided an excellent distribution of light that met or exceeded standards. The focus on natural lighting was inspired by Shelton's own difficulties seeing as a student. Maximlite schools addressed the growing need for new school construction across the United States in the postwar period.
This document summarizes a workshop for high school students about experiencing history through various mediums. The workshop covered topics like World War II propaganda posters, letter writing from the war, trying on authentic WWII uniforms, examining coins and stamps over time, preserving wedding dresses and other fabrics, listening to oral histories, and discussing the importance of preserving various artifacts and media for historical study. Students participated in activities like creating their own posters, dressing up in uniforms, interviewing partners, and providing hands-on access to artifacts in the library's collection. The goal was to bring history to life for students and teach them about the value of preservation.

History of american education – chapter 7blantoncd
This document provides a history of the influences on American education from the 1700s to the 20th century. It describes how education was originally primarily the responsibility of states and religious groups. Over time, compulsory public education expanded due to advocates like Horace Mann who argued education benefits society. Debates emerged around the purpose of education and different philosophies like vocational training versus classical education. Major 20th century influences included Brown v. Board of Education, which desegregated schools, and Sputnik, which increased the focus on academics and national defense. Progressive influences from philosophers like John Dewey also remained important. Ongoing debates around curriculum, standards, and accountability continue today.

This document discusses determining the osmolarity tolerance of organotypic hippocampal rodent brain slices for use in stretchable microelectrode arrays (sMEAs). Experiments tested osmolarities from 270-370 mOsm and found slices tolerated ranges from 350-290 mOsm. Calculations determined the optimal culture volume in sMEAs is 412uL to prevent osmolarity fluctuations beyond 12% from the baseline of 330mOsm. Limitations included differences in substrate materials between sMEAs and controls. The work aims to optimize culture conditions for studying traumatic brain injury mechanisms using sMEAs to mechanically deform and record from brain slices.

This book review summarizes the key points made in the book "The Leipzig Connection" about the systematic destruction of American education. It traces how the educational psychology prevalent in the US was influenced by Wilhelm Wundt's work establishing experimental psychology in Leipzig, Germany in the late 1800s. Wundt's students, including G. Stanley Hall and John Dewey, returned to the US and spread his teachings that humans are merely products of their experiences, lacking free will. They gained influential positions in universities with Rockefeller funding, shaping teacher training and the curriculum to reflect Wundtian psychology. This corrupted education and spread rapidly as it was promoted by teachers colleges, especially Columbia University's which had strong Rockefeller backing.

IntroductionThe goal of Indian education from the 1880s through .docxnormanibarber20063
Introduction
The goal of Indian education from the 1880s through the 1920s was to assimilate Indian people into the melting pot of America by placing them in institutions where traditional ways could be replaced by those sanctioned by the government. Federal Indian policy called for the removal of children from their families and in many cases enrollment in a government run boarding school. In this way, the policy makers believed, young people would be immersed in the values and practical knowledge of the dominant American society while also being kept away from any influences imparted by their traditionally-minded relatives.
Part 1: Indian Boarding School Movement
The Indian boarding school movement began in the post Civil War era when idealistic reformers turned their attention to the plight of Indian people. Whereas before many Americans regarded the native people with either fear or loathing, the reformers believed that with the proper education and treatment Indians could become just like other citizens. They convinced the leaders of Congress that education could change at least some of the Indian population into patriotic and productive members of society. One of the first efforts to accomplish this goal was the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania, founded by Captain Richard Henry Pratt in 1879. Pratt was a leading proponent of the assimilation through education policy. Believing that Indian ways were inferior to those of whites, he subscribed to the principle, "kill the Indian and save the man." At Carlisle, young Indian boys and girls were subjected to a complete transformation. Photographs taken at the school illustrate how they looked "before" and "after". The dramatic contrast between traditional clothing and hairstyles and Victorian styles of dress helped convince the public that through boarding school education Indians could become completely "civilized". Following the model of Carlisle, additional off reservation boarding schools were established in other parts of the country, including Forest Grove, Oregon (later known as Chemawa). (1)
Seeking to educate increasing numbers of Indian children at lower cost, the federal government established two other types of schools: the reservation boarding school and day schools. Reservation boarding schools had the advantage of being closer to Indian communities and as a result had lower transportation costs. Contact between students and their families was somewhat restricted as students remained at the school for eight to nine months of the year. Relatives could visit briefly at prescribed times. School administrators worked constantly to keep the students at school and eradicate all vestiges of their tribal cultures. Day schools, which were the most economical, usually provided only a minimal education. They worked with the boarding schools by transferring students for more advanced studies.
In the Pacific Northwest, treaties negotiated with the Indians during the 1850s included pro.
Helen Keller was born in 1880 in Ivy Green, her childhood home, which is now a historic site open for tours. She overcame being deaf and blind with help from her teacher Anne Sullivan. Moundville Archaeological Site near Tuscaloosa features remains of a Mississippian culture village from 1000 to 1450 AD. The U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville allows visitors to see NASA rockets and experience astronaut training.
The Friends of Lincoln Village organization was formed in 2007 to preserve historic sites around Lincoln University, the first historically black college in the US founded in 1854. The organization has been working to get Lincoln University and Lincoln Village designated as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places. This would recognize their significance in African American history and education. Goals include hiring a preservation planner, updating the National Register nomination, and stabilizing historic buildings. Over 65 people attended an initial historic tour of the campus organized by the group. The Friends of Lincoln Village will continue working to secure the needed resources to have the historic designation completed.
The document provides background information on Jackson County, Georgia and Gum Springs Elementary School. It describes the curriculum focus on historical figures in American history and folktales. The collection review found that while the media center has many books on these topics, many are at too high a reading level. The proposed additions will enhance the first and second grade collections on historical figures and folktales, as well as update the biography section with current figures and introduce eBooks and audiobooks.
General Guidelines For Taking Notes from Assigned Readings .docxMARRY7
General Guidelines For Taking Notes from Assigned Readings
If you have highlighted the majority of your textbook or reading assignment, then
you are not well prepared to take notes from it. That is typically too much
information to digest or remember. Moreover, all of it will not be asked of you.
Some general guidelines to help you take productive notes from your readings are
(also check the other note-taking information in this site):
Finish reading before you take notes : first read a full paragraph or headed
section.
Be selective : pick the essentials and write them concisely. To be selective, you
must first read the materials critically. Then you can summarize each paragraph in
one sentence. Don't try to memorize the entire paragraph or every fact, definition,
or idea. Don't try to rewrite the textbook longhand. Read the paragraphs until you
understand it and write your summary sentence.
Use your own words : in addition to being selective, after you read a section, ask
"What is the author's main point?" Recite it, and quickly write it in your own
words. Don't simply quote the textbook in your notes or you'll miss the
opportunity to seek comprehension and personal understanding.
Write in full sentences : do not write outline notes when summarizing
information, write in full sentences. It will help you recognize the information
instantly as you review. Moreover, this is what you will do when you take your
exams.
Be efficient : keep alert and be efficient. Read, re-read (if necessary), do a mini-
review, recite the author's ideas, and write it. Then, move on to the next
paragraph.
Add visual aids : make sure you add the important diagrams and charts in your

The San Francisco State College Strike Collection
Introductory Essay by Helene Whitson
"On strike! Shut it down!" From November 1968 to March 1969, those words rang out
daily on the campus of San Francisco State College. Like clockwork, between noon and 3
P.M. striking students would gather at the Speaker's Platform on campus for a rally, then
turn in a mass and march on the Administration Building, intent upon confrontation with
President Smith or Hayakawa. The strike at San Francisco State College lasted five
months, longer than any other academic student strike in American higher education
history, and, miraculously, was less violent than any that were to come. Why did this
strike happen in San Francisco, a sophisticated, cosmopolitan city, known for its
tolerance? Why did it hap ...
The document provides an overview of the history of education in the United States from the Common School Period of 1840-1880 to the present day. It discusses key figures like Horace Mann, Mary Lyon, and W.E.B. Du Bois. Major developments covered include the establishment of normal schools to train teachers, the passage of compulsory education laws, and the Morrill Act which supported the creation of land-grant colleges.
Yale University was first established in 1701 in Saybrook, Connecticut but later moved to New Haven in 1716. It served as a major employer and helped develop the economy of New Haven. Throughout its history, Yale educated many patriots and leaders, was home to many academic firsts, and helped establish traditions in higher education like residential colleges and modern science courses. Yale has had significant historical impact and continues to be one of the top universities in the world.

Members of the local organizing committee for Free Minds Free People will lead a disorientation tour of the University of Minnesota. The purpose of the tour is to disorient attendees from the sanitized narratives of “diversity,” “campus climate,” “inclusion,” “multiculturalism,” “excellence” and other euphemisms used to mask the violence of the university. Instead, detour guides will orient attendees to past and present sites of resistance and activism. Detour guides will lead participants through histories of activism from the early 20th century to the present.
Attendees will be oriented to the immense contributions of the Afro-American Action Committee, the Latin Liberation Front, the General College Truth Movement, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the Beaver 55, queer liberation movements, animal rights activists, Students for Justice in Palestine, the U Community of Feminists, Danger Collective!, APIs or Equity and Diversity, Whose University?, Whose Diversity? and Differences organized (Do!). We will center the experiences of student activists who recognized the consequences of living, learning and laboring in a system designed without them in mind. “Being in and not of” means that though we are producers within the university, we need not be products of it. We can work against and potentially do without what we are within. In disorienting attendees from the cosmetic diversity and bonafide bs of the University of Minnesota, we hope to show why we see the University of Minnesota less of a land-grant institution and more of a land-grab institution; an educational system that is more private, than public; a corporation that presents students with more educational opportunists than educational opportunities; and a tower that is as anti ebony as it is ivory.
The document provides information about Montgomery Bell Academy, a private boys' preparatory school located in Nashville, Tennessee. It discusses the school's history, starting in 1806 as the preparatory department of the University of Nashville. In 1867, the school was established separately under the legacy of Montgomery Bell, for which it is named. It offers both a grade school and high school program, preparing students for college admission. The school emphasizes character building, physical education, and scholarly achievement across its academic, athletic, and extracurricular programs.
The document summarizes important African American historical sites in Brooklyn, New York. It describes locations such as the first property purchased by an African American in Brooklyn (41 Hicks St), several Colored Schools established in the 1800s, churches like Bridge Street African Wesleyan Methodist Episcopal Church that were stops on the Underground Railroad, and community organizations like the Weeksville Society that works to preserve the historic Weeksville neighborhood.
Phi Beta Kappa is America's oldest academic honor society, founded in 1776 at the College of William & Mary. Its mission is to recognize excellence in liberal arts and sciences. The society's key symbol originated from the initials of its Greek motto and symbols of its founding principles. Chapters were later established at other colleges to continue the society's work of recognizing scholarship.
1. Dr. Thomas Curtis, Limestone co-founder and
president, 1845-1859
Limestone College has always been a
pioneer in providing access to higher education
for those who otherwise might not have enjoyed
that access. In 1845, when higher education was
only a dream for young women, Limestone was
founded as the first women’s college in South
Carolina and one of the first in the United States.
In the early 1900s, when young men from the
local area sought higher education, but could
not afford to attend distant universities, Limestone
admitted them as daytime commuting students.
In the 1970s, when most colleges and
universities had no interest in educating working
adults, Limestone established the Block Program,
one of the pioneer programs for non-traditional
students. The Block Program allowed students to
complete their bachelor’s degrees entirely
through evening classes, using a novel one
course-at-a-time accelerated format. In the mid
1990s, through the establishment of the Virtual
Campus, Limestone emerged as a national
leader in applying computer technology to teach
students who could not utilize traditional
classroom settings. In 2005 the Block Program
and the Virtual Campus were combined into the
Extended Campus Program. Providing higher
education access to those needing it the most has
been a proud theme throughout the history of
Limestone College.
Limestone College is an accredited, indepen-
dent, coeducational, four-year liberal arts
institution, and a non-denominational Christian
college. Limestone’s main campus is located in
Gaffney, nestled among the rolling hills in the
Piedmont region of the state. The county seat of
Cherokee County, Gaffney, and its suburbs have
a population of approximately 25,000, and are
within an hour’s drive of the Greenville/Spartan-
burg and Charlotte metropolitan areas.
Limestone also offers its Extended Campus
Classroom Program at eight sites throughout
South Carolina. Today, Limestone is truly a
statewide college.
The institution that became Limestone College
was founded by Dr. Thomas Curtis and his son,
Dr. William Curtis, distinguished Baptist ministers
and scholars who were born in England and
emigrated to the United States in 1833. Dr.
Thomas Curtis served churches in Maine,
Georgia, and South Carolina, including the
Wentworth Street Baptist Church in Charleston,
while Dr. William Curtis was pastor of the First
Baptist Church in Columbia.
In 1845 Dr. Thomas Curtis was able to fulfill
his dream of establishing an institution of higher
learning for young women by purchasing a
magnificent building at Limestone Springs, which
had been constructed in the 1830s as a resort
hotel. The village of Limestone Springs, now a
part of Gaffney, had developed adjacent to a
mineral water springs, which attracted families
from the Midlands and Lowcountry who wished
to avail themselves of the supposed medicinal
value of the spring water and avoid the oppres-
sive summer heat of their home regions.
Originally named the Limestone Springs
Female High School, the new institution attracted
the daughters of the most influential families of
South Carolina, who sought the finest liberal arts
education available in the antebellum period.
On November 6, 1845, 67 young women
began their classes at Limestone.
Dr. Thomas Curtis assumed an active role in
education beyond the confines of his own
school. He was instrumental in organizing the
South Carolina Teachers Association and
founding the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, which eventually moved from
Greenville, South Carolina to Louisville,
Kentucky.
For much of the 20th century, Montague
McMillan was a highly respected professor
and deeply revered alumna (Class of 1911)
at Limestone. Known by generations of
students as “Dr. Mac,” she served her alma
mater from 1917 to 1971 and was author of
a comprehensive history of the College
(1970).
2. Tragedy struck Limestone in 1859, when Dr. Thomas Curtis, returning from
a visit to the North, perished in a shipboard fire on Chesapeake Bay.
Leadership of the college passed to his son, Dr. William Curtis. During the
War Between the States, William was an ardent supporter of the Confeder-
ate cause. He was a signer of the South Carolina Ordinance of Secession
and loaned a large sum of money to the Confederate government. When
the South was defeated, there was no hope of repayment and the wealthy
planters who had sent their daughters to Limestone were now destitute.
Despite these difficult times, Limestone managed to survive. Peter
Cooper, prominent industrialist and inventor, briefly considered the
possibility of transforming Limestone into a Southern version of his famed
Cooper Union in New York City. While his plans for Limestone did not
materialize, in 1881 the school became known as Cooper- Limestone
Institute. In 1898 it became Limestone College.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries Limestone was fortunate to
have trustee leadership from two of the leaders of the textile industry in
Upstate South Carolina, Captain John Montgomery of Spartan Mills and
Dr. Wylie Cicero Hamrick of Hamrick Mills. Captain Montgomery served as
chairman of the board of trustees from 1888 until his death in 1902. Under
his leadership and through his personal generosity, Limestone regained its
stability and reputation. Dr. Hamrick served as a member of the board of
trustees from 1899 until his death in 1935 and oversaw Limestone during its
golden years of expansion. His descendants have played prominent
leadership roles at Limestone down to the present day.
During the 67 year period, 1899–1966, Limestone College was led by
three of the most influential presidents in the long history of the institution —
Dr. Lee Davis Lodge (1899–1923), Dr. Robert C. Granberry (1923–1952),
and Dr. Andrew Jackson Eastwood (1953–1966). Each of these three
leaders is memorialized through the naming of major campus buildings in
their honor — Dixie Lodge, Granberry Gymnasium, and Eastwood Library.
One of Dr. Lodge’s first endeavors was the construction of the Winnie
Davis Hall of History. This unique structure, one of the most architecturally
splendid buildings on any college campus, was occupied in 1904 and
named in honor of the daughter of Confederate President Jefferson Davis
and Varina Howell Davis. The new building was to be used to promote the
study of Southern history and Southern literature. Dr. Lodge proposed to
make Limestone a great center of historical study, where the rich materials of
the South could be collected, preserved, organized, and interpreted.
Visiting scholars would share their knowledge with Limestone students.
For the next 40 years, Limestone students who completed a prescribed
sequence of history courses received a special diploma from the Winnie
Davis School of History in addition to their Limestone diploma.
Limestone College has always been deeply involved with improving
educational opportunities in Gaffney and Cherokee County. In the late
1890s, shortly after the creation of Cherokee as a separate county,
Limestone administrators supported the efforts of local citizens to establish a
public school system. When the new system opened its doors, every teacher
was a Limestone graduate. More than a century later, Limestone provides a
large percentage of teachers to Cherokee County and the Upstate.
During World War I Limestone continued its outreach efforts to the local
community. Under the leadership of Professor Eunice Ford, later dean of the
college, Limestone established evening classes to assist local citizens gain
the necessary literacy skills to serve their country both in the military and in
critical civilian occupations.
In 1923 Dr. Lodge was succeeded by Dr. Robert C. Granberry. Many of
the buildings on Limestone’s front campus date from his presidency. Both the
Hamrick Hall of Science, a gift from Dr. Hamrick who was then serving as
chairman of the board of trustees, and the Carroll School of Fine Arts, a gift
from longtime benefactor James A. Carroll, were completed in 1925.
From 1921 until 1941 Limestone was formally affiliated with the South
Carolina Baptist Convention, a relationship which ended amicably when

Limestoneʼs three great presidents of the 20th century: Dr. Lee Davis Lodge,
1899-1923; Robert C. Granberry, 1923-1952; and Dr. Andrew Jackson
Eastwood, 1953-1966
control of the institution passed to a self-governing board of trustees. In
1928 Limestone College received regional accreditation from the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), an accreditation which has
been continuously maintained since that date.
In 1953 Dr. Andrew Jackson Eastwood, longtime professor of history,
ascended to the presidency of Limestone. During his tenure, student
enrollment increased, admission standards were raised, and the relationship
between the college and the local community was strengthened.
The Fullerton Auditorium, completed in 1964 and seating nearly 1,000,
provides one of the finest performance venues in the Southeast. Limestone’s
priceless Aeolian-Skinner organ, constructed by G. Donald Harrison, who
also built the organ for the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, was
moved into the new auditorium.
Following the passing of Dr. Eastwood in 1966, Limestone College
experienced many of the challenges facing other higher education
institutions during those turbulent years. During the next twenty-six years
Limestone had eight presidents, three of them serving on an interim basis.
Male commuting students had been allowed on campus in the early 20th
century, but there were no residence halls for men until the late 1960s when
Limestone became a coeducational, liberal arts college. With desegrega-
tion occurring throughout the nation, African American students were
3. admitted to the college for the first time. In recent years, Limestone has been
cited for the diversity of its student body.
In the 1970s Limestone developed a novel, accelerated approach to
education for working adults. The Block Program, which has served as a
national model for successful evening programs, gave working adults the
opportunity to complete their baccalaureate degrees without sacrificing
their jobs.
Limestone’s intercollegiate athletics program began during the
1972–1973 academic year with four sports — men’s basketball, men’s
tennis, men’s golf, and women’s volleyball. Blue, old gold, and white were
selected as the school colors. The nickname for the athletic teams was
“Saints,” and a Saint Bernard dog was chosen as the Limestone mascot.
Facilities for intercollegiate athletics improved dramatically in 1976 with the
opening of the Timken Physical Education Center, which contained a
1,500-seat basketball arena and an aquatic center. In 1984 the men’s golf
team brought home Limestone’s first national title, winning the National
Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Championship. Limestone
added a men’s baseball program in 1987 and selected as its first coach
former major league pitcher and future Hall of Fame member Gaylord
Perry.
In 1991 Limestone secured membership in NCAA Division II, and in
1998 joined the Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference (CVAC). In 2007
the name was changed to Conference Carolinas.
The men’s and women’s lacrosse teams have enjoyed particular success
at the national level as of late. The men’s team won NCAA Division II
National Championships in 2000, 2002, 2014, and 2015. The team has
advanced to the national tournament for 16 straight years. The women’s
lacrosse team has advanced to the national tournament nine times in recent
years. The 2011 and 2013 women’s squads advanced to the National
Championship finals.
In October 2005, Limestone dedicated a new Physical Education Center
containing a state-of-the-art Fitness Center and athletic training facilities, a
wrestling practice area, locker rooms, classrooms, and offices.
Field hockey, men’s volleyball and football have been added in recent
years, bringing the total number of men’s intercollegiate sports to 13 and the
total number of women’s intercollegiate sports to 12. Limestone also offers
competitive cheerleading and dance. The Saints played their inaugural

late Gothic Revival architecture. The buildingʼs design features an
octagonal sky-lighted tower, a double staircase in its entry foyer and
ornate, arched windows.
football season in 2015. Today, more than 60 percent of Limestone’s day
students participate in intercollegiate athletics.
Dr. Walt Griffin became president of Limestone College in 1992, at a
time when the institution was experiencing dwindling enrollment, major
financial deficits, and deteriorating buildings. However, Limestone not only
recovered from the hard times of the 1980s, but has flourished during the 23
years of Dr. Griffin’s presidency and is now enjoying an era of growth,
stability, and renewal.
Day Program enrollment has increased each year and is now more than
1,200. The Extended Campus enrollment has tripled, aided by the establish-
ment in 1996 of the Virtual Campus Internet Program. With a total enroll-
ment approaching 3,500, Limestone is one of the largest private colleges in
South Carolina.
Limestone College is committed to the liberal arts and sciences and to
educating men and women for leadership, service, and professional
responsibility in the 21st century. While receiving a strong foundation in the
liberal arts, Limestone students generally major in fields directly related to
career preparation — business administration, education, computer science,
social work, physical education, and criminal justice.
Limestone is privileged to have a distinguished and dedicated faculty.
Nearly 80 percent of the day faculty possess the Ph.D. or other terminal
degree in their academic disciplines. The student-faculty ratio is 13:1. At a
time when many higher education institutions are increasingly relying on the
services of part-time faculty, more than 80 percent of the daytime classes at
Limestone are taught by full-time faculty and staff.
Limestone students are active in campus and community life through
social, service, and athletic organizations. The Honors Program challenges
those with exceptional intellectual ability; the Christian Education and
Leadership Program serves those interested in deepening their religious
commitment; and the Program for Alternative Learning Styles fosters
academic success for those with documented learning disabilities.
Limestone’s first graduate degree program, leading to the Master’s of
Business Administration (MBA), was initiated in July, 2012. The MBA
program is designed to prepare students for management positions in
business and industry, government, and nonprofit institutions, and to
provide further educational opportunities for those persons already so
employed.
Recent additions to the undergraduate curriculum include early
childhood education, health care administration, human resource
management, and professional communication, providing an important
array of programs that are important in today’s job market.
Increased enrollments in recent years have produced financial
recovery and growth. Limestone has had a balanced operating budget
with a year end surplus annually since 1992. This financial stability has
Limestone President Dr. Walt Griffin, 1992-present
4. allowed Limestone to complete major renova-
tions of most campus buildings. Nine of the
buildings on Limestone’s front campus are on
the National Register of Historic Places, along
with the old quarry (now a lake) adjacent to the
campus. The Winnie Davis Hall of History
opened in 1904, fell into disrepair in the 1970s,
and remained out of use until 2010 when a
$4.8 million initiative transformed this magnifi-
cent building into a multimedia academic hall
with six contemporary classrooms, museum and
art gallery space, and faculty offices.
In addition to the restoration of the Winnie
Davis Hall of History, Limestone can boast of
the addition of several other buildings to the
campus scene in the early part of this new
century:
The Physical Education Center was renamed
the Walt Griffin Physical Education Center in
2009.
A new residence hall, with a capacity of 96
students, was opened in early 2011.
Across from McMillan Hall at the corner of
O’Neal and Griffith Streets, construction is now
underway on the 200-bed Walter W. Brown
Residence Hall, which is scheduled to open in
the fall of 2016.
The Limestone Center, acquired from the
Cherokee County Board of Education, was
completely renovated in 2010 and today
affords excellent facilities for both intercolle-
giate athletics and college theatre.
Timken East, formerly housing YMCA
programs and activities, was renovated for both
academic and student service uses in 2010.
A building to house the Downtown Campus
in Gaffney was recently leased by the College
primarily for use by the Music Department.
The College acquired two nearby apartment
complexes for student housing.
The historic Fort House, a picturesque
two-story brick home located on Overbrook
Drive in Gaffney, was donated to the College
in 2010, and is now being used for student
housing.
The Landon House near the Camp-Swofford
Chapel was acquired in 2014 for the Christian
Education Leadership Program (CELP). The
nearby Agape House was acquired for CELP in
2015.
Bob Campbell Field House, providing locker
facilities for 477 student-athletes, opened in the
fall of 2014. The building is part of the current
$6.3 million construction project for Athletics.
Construction of the state-of-the-art Betsy M.
Campbell Library is expected to begin during
the 2015-2016 academic year.
A campus-wide capital campaign is
underway with an overall goal of $12 million.
Of that total, $6 million is designated for a new
library, $4.8 million to enhance athletic
facilities, and $1.2 million for the Limestone
Fund, the annual fund that helps support many
of the basic needs on campus. Many athletic
facility improvements have been completed
and others are underway.
Dr. Madison Sarratt, Class of 1906, was
Limestone’s first male graduate and later served
as vice chancellor of Vanderbilt University. Dr.
Sarratt eloquently expressed the feelings of
many whose lives have been touched by
Limestone College when he wrote:
We like to think of education as a stream
that flows from small beginnings to deep
and wide and powerful rivers. If I should
apply this to my own education, I would
say that Limestone was the spring where my
small river originated. I hope it is still
flowing.
After 170 years, the spring of education
continues to flow at Limestone College.
An abbreviated history of Limestone College
was incorporated in the 2007 edition of South
Carolina: An Illustrated History of the
Palmetto State, by Ernest McPherson, Jr., and
Archie Vernon Huff, Jr. Updated material was
added in August 2015.
The men's lacrosse team won its second
straight (fourth overall) NCAA Division II
National Title in 2015.
Originally built in 2005, the 16,224-square-foot Physical Education Center was
officially named the Walt Griffin Physical Education Center in 2009 in honor of
the Collegeʼs president.
The new residence hall features suite-style living for 96 students. There are twelve
eight-person suites with a common living area inside each suite.
The former home of the Cherokee County YMCA, Timken East was renovated in
2010 and is now used for academic and student service purposes.
Once the home of Limestone Elementary School, the Limestone Center now houses
the Limestone Theatre and Athletics Departments.
