Erskine College
Encyclopedia
Erskine College is a four year, Christian
liberal arts college
located in Due West, South Carolina
.
as an academy for men, Erskine College became the first four year, church-related college in South Carolina
. It was named for Ebenezer Erskine
, one of the founders of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church
and a pastor
. Erskine had led a group of separatists from the Church of Scotland
to found an Associate Presbytery.
While the college has always employed a Professor of Divinity, in 1858 its theological branch became a distinct but affiliated school, the Erskine Theological Seminary
. Erskine began to admit women in 1894 and officially became coeducational in 1899. In 1927, it merged with Women's College of Due West, founded in 1859. In 1929, Bryson College closed and merged with Erskine College.
in May 1991: "Erskine exists to prepare persons for responsible living, service, and ministry, in both Church and society. As a community devoted to Christian commitment and excellence in learning, Erskine accomplishes its mission through undergraduate liberal arts and graduate theological education."
In 1995, the college banned alcohol from the campus
and later implemented changes which require all students under the age of 21 to reside in on-campus housing, unless proof of residence with a blood relative was provided. As of 2011 the college has added new policies requiring all students regardless of age or reason to live in on-campus housing. This is mainly seen as a move by the college to combat off-campus drinking.
In 1999, Rev. John Carson became president
of the college. Upon his installation he noted: "I do not intend to add anything new, not one new straw on the backs of faculty or staff or students," Carson said. "But I do intend to be consistent in making this vision a reality. Erskine College will be, by God's grace, what it has been called to be—a Christian liberal arts college open to all students." Dr. Randall T. Ruble
was voted in as the President of Erskine College and Seminary on October 26, 2006. He was inaugurated April 10, 2007.
