Linus A. Sims
Linus Arthur Sims (September 22, 1882 – September 15, 1949) was an educator and administrator who was the driving force behind the establishment of Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, Louisiana. In 1925, Sims created Hammond Junior College, which became the former Southeastern Louisiana College in 1928. In 1970, the institution was declared a university during the administration of Governor John J. McKeithen. During the 1990s, Southeastern was ranked as one of the fastest growing institutions of higher learning in the United States.
==Background==
Sims was born in Crossville in DeKalb County in northeastern Alabama to the Methodist minister Levi Copedge Sims and the former Mary Emily Bussey. He was educated in public schools. He attended, first, Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and then Methodist-affiliated Centenary College of Louisiana, then in Jackson in East Feliciana Parish. Centenary relocated to Shreveport in 1908. Sims later procured a master's degree from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.
Sims himself entered the Methodist ministry in 1907. In 1911, he became a teacher. He married the former Isabel Johnson of Monroe, the seat of Ouachita Parish, in northeastern Louisiana. They had two children, Joseph Arthur Sims, Sr., and Lydel Sims (born 1916). Joseph Sims was a prominent Hammond attorney and politician affiliated with the Long dynasty.
