Anderson College was a senior college for women when Miss Annie Dove Denmark came in 1917 as a piano instructor. Dr. John E. White, the president of the college, made her the Dean of Women in 1926. On January 1, 1928, Miss Denmark became the first woman college president in South Carolina. In 1929, she led in the re- organization of the college as a junior college, a new type of edu- cational institution for South Carolina. Men were admitted as day students beginning with 1930. Denmark Day was observed on Founder ' s Day at Anderson College on February 14, 1953, when Dr. Annie Dove Denmark was honored at a twenty-fifth anniversary convocation in the college auditorium. The speaker for the occasion was Mrs. Olin D. Johnston, an Anderson College graduate and a former trustee. At this anniversary celebration, Dr. Denmark received tributes from representatives of many southwide and state organizations with whom she had worked during her quarter of a century of service to the cause of Christian education. She has served as a trustee of the Women ' s Missionary Union Training School in Louisville, Kentucky for a number of years. Soon after becoming president of Anderson College, she served as president of the Southern Association of Col- leges for Women, the first woman to hold this position. She has been heard as a speaker at the annual conferences of the Educational Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention and at the State Baptist Convention. Dr. Denmark has unceasingly advocated an over-all program of permanent support for South Carolina Baptist colleges. She was an educational pioneer in junior colleges and it is because of her that they are recognized now. Anderson College will always remember her.
