The UniversityHISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITYLander University was founded as a college for women by Methodist clergyman Samuel Lander in 1872 as WilliamstonFemale College in Williamston, South Carolina. It remained a private institution for 26 years. In 1898, the College gained thesupport of the South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In 1904, the College was relocated toGreenwood, S.C., and was renamed Lander College in honor of its founder.Men were admitted in 1943, and the institution is now completely coeducationalIn 1948, when the Methodist Conference, pursuant to a policy of consolidation in its education efforts, decided to end supportof Lander College, interested citizens of Greenwood formed The Lander Foundation as a nonprofit corporation and leased theCollege from the Church.In 1951, the county of Greenwood obtained the College name and property from the Methodist Conference. The SouthCarolina General Assembly created the Greenwood County Education Commission, known as The Lander Foundation, toserve as the board of control for the College. Lander thus became the only four-year liberal arts college in the United States tobe controlled and financed by a county government.On July 1, 1973, Lander College came under the control of the Board of Trustees of the State Colleges of South Carolina,making Lander a state-supported college. The State College Board of Trustees governed Lander, the College of Charleston,and Francis Marion College. Effective July 1, 1988, governance of Lander was vested in the Lander College Board ofTrustees.On July 1, 1992, by action of the Board of Trustees, the institution became Lander University.The University has been served by twelve presidents in its one hundred and twenty-eight years: Samuel Lander(1872-1904); John O. Willson (1904-1923); Robert O. Lawton (1923); B. Rhett Turnipseed (1923-1927); R. H. Bennett(1927-1932); John W. Speake (1932-1941); John Marvin Rast (1941-1948); Boyce M. Grier (1948-1966); E. Don Herd, Jr.(1966-1973); Larry A. Jackson (1973-1992); William C. Moran (1992-2000); and Daniel W. Ball (2000-present).Lander University subscribes to a policy of equal educational and employment opportunity for all.MISSION STATEMENTGrounded in the belief that education is a liberating force which makes it possible for an individual to live a life of meaningfulactivity, of personal satisfaction, and of service to others as a neighbor and a citizen, Lander University has chosen teachingand learning as its principal concerns and providing a challenging education for qualified students as its mission. Through itsliberal arts programs and its professional schools for business, education, and nursing, the University offers an undergraduatecurriculum that combines a broad liberal education with specialized study leading either to immediate application in a careeror to more advanced study. The undergraduate programs provide opportunities for students to achieve competence in a majordiscipline and to explore a broad core curriculum designed to assist them in developing the ability (1) to gather and criticallyanalyze information from a variety of fields and to use that information as a basis for reasoned judgments and for effectiveproblem solving, (2) to synthesize diverse ideas and information, and (3) to understand and convey ideas clearly. In additionto its undergraduate programs, Lander provides a limited number of master’s programs and post-graduate courses that respondto critical needs of the immediate region and the State. Supporting the University’s role as a teaching institution andrecognizing that scholarship is essential to establishing and maintaining excellence of instruction, Lander faculty engage inscholarly and creative activities appropriate to their teaching fields. In addition, the faculty and staff recognize Lander’sresponsibility to the public and to the local economy; therefore, the University serves as an intellectual and cultural center andcooperates with various agencies, schools, and businesses.The University, situated near the center of Greenwood, a small South Carolina city, combines urban with rural and traditionalwith modern features. Proud of its identity as a small, student-centered public four-year university with a nurturing educationalenvironment, Lander is committed to gradual but limited growth to a size of approximately 3300-3500 students. Becausestudent success depends in large part upon readiness, the University reserves admission to those students who can demonstrateadequate preparation for higher education either through a predicted GPA or through previous success at another postsecondary institution. While Lander serves primarily students from a seven county area (Greenwood, Laurens, Edgefield,eville, McCormick, Newberry, and Saluda) and reflects the demographic diversity of this constituency, it strives to draw10

students from every region of South Carolina as well as from other states and foreign countries because a geographicallydiverse population better serves the educational interests of all students enrolled. Lander predominately attracts qualifiedtraditional full-time students but also welcomes non-traditional and part-time students. Lander University’s commitment toextending educational opportunities to these varying constituencies reflects its belief that citizens of a free society have a rightto the enriching benefits of higher education.ACCREDITATIONLander University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (1866Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097, telephone number 404-679-4501) to award bachelor's and master's leveldegrees.
