John McSween, 1928-1935 W. P. Jacobs II, 1935-1945 at the time of his resignation in 1945. The Library Building was added in 1942 through cooperative efforts of the City of Clinton and Alumni Hall became Doyle Infir- mary. Presbyterian college exerted itself to the fullest in the great effort of World War II, accelerating its pro- gram to produce ROTC-trained offi- cers quickly and providing its fa- cilities for preliminary flight train- ing by the Air Force. Dr. Marshall W. Brown, who had served as dean for 16 years, succeed- ed Dr. Jacobs in 1945 and continues to head the institution. His tenure thus far has brought greatly increas- ed endowment funds, a new dormi- tory and expansion of the faculty, as well as additional academic pres- tige. Standing on its foundation of 75 years, Presbyterian College now looks confidently to the future as it moves into a long-range Diamond Jubilee Development Program. And with the promise of the future comes the capacity for ever greater service. Seventeen

W. G. Neville, 1904-1907 D. M. Douglas, 1911-1926 Robert T. Adams 1907-1910 Three buildings (including Alum- ni Hall, later renovated into the present Doyle Infirmary) and 16 acres of campus constituted the college property as it came into the hands of South Carolina Synod in 1904. At this point Dr. W. G. Nev- ille assumed the presidency and ush- ered in a period of great advance- ment, although he did not live to see much of his work comple ted. Build- ings came in this order: the Admin- istration Building (now Neville) , in 1907; Laurens Hall, in 1907; and Judd Dining Hall, in 1908 (expanded in 1923). Another great leader in the per- son of Dr. D. M. Douglas came in 1911. And during the 15 years of his presidency, the present campus plan of grounds and buildings was laid out, and he raised funds to pro- vide Spencer Hall, in 1912; W. P. Jacobs Science Hall, in 1915; Smyth Dormitory, in 1924; LeRoy Springs Gymnasium, in 1924 (indoor swim- ming pool added in 1929) . Dr. John McSween followed Dr. Douglas by a few years in 1928, and he gave to Presbyterian College an energetic leadership and a deep re- ligious influence throughout the early years of the world-wide finan- cial depression which ranked him among PC ' s finest leaders. The present President ' s Home was giv- en in 1929. Dr. William P. Jacobs II, grand- son of the founder, became presi- dent in 1935 during desperate hours of the lingering depression. Through his efforts, the college found in- creased stability and was in a po- sition to move forward once more Sixteen
