The 'Presidents Home Tw ' ENSHURST, the present home of the A ' President of the College, was erected in ' i A May, 1830, through the efforts of Dr. 1 john Holt Rice, the founder of Union ? W Theological Seminary. The money was Mi contributed by Presbyterian friends in X ic 'N North Carolinag hence, the building was known for many years as The North Carolina House. For sixty years, ending with the removal of the Seminary to Richmond, it was occupied successively by Doctors Fran- cis S. Sampson, Samuel L. Graham, and Benjamin M. Smith of the Seminary faculty. Through the liberality of Major Richard M. Venable of Baltimore, Maryland, this property came into the pos- session of the College in the late nineties, along with the other Seminary property south of Via Sacra. Thereupon, the building, given the name of Penshurst in perpetuation of the name of Algernon Sydney's birthplace and home in Kent, became the President's home, and Dr. Richard McIl- waine, the 'efficient President of that time, moved into it immediately. The previous quarters of the President had been for some years in what is now the Students' Christian Association building, to which the H. Tuclcer Graham Gymnasium has since been appended. Thus for about thirty years, Penshurst has been the dwelling-place of those upon whose shoulders the burden of the guidance of the College's affairs has rested heaviest and to whom praise for her prog- ress should first be given.
