Progress continued through the years Established in 1911, Anderson College traces its origin to one of the first institutions of higher learn- ing for women in the United States. The Johnson Female Seminary, founded by the Rev. W. B. Johnson, a Baptist minister, began in 1848. The school closed during the Civil War and did not reopen. A group of Anderson citizens of- fered 32 acres of land and $100,000 to the S. C. Baptist Convention. Shortly after the group met, trustees were elected. In the fall of 1912, Anderson College opened its doors to students. A preparatory or high school division began in 1913 but terminated in 1956. From 1912 to 1930 it operated exclusively as a senior college for women. In September, 1930, the school became a junior college and accepted its first male students. Night school began in 1958 and summer school in 1960. Today, Anderson College is afully accredited co-education liberal arts junior college sponsored by the S.C. Baptist Convention. With the 1971-72 enrollment of 950 (enroll- ment record), about half of the stu- dents are resident students and over half are male. The campus contains 22 buildings and 12 additional acres have been added to the original 32. The three original buildings still exist and were renovated in 1969 and in 1971. Facilities for men (three dormitories) face Kingsley Road in back of the three original buildings. Other main buildings added to AC since its beginning in- clude the library, music building, student center, infirmary, teaching center, gym and activities building. The sign marks the way to AC.
