Presbyterian College, commonly known as PC, is a four-year, private liberal arts college located in Clinton, South Carolina, USA and affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). The college’s president is Mr. Bob Staton. Presbyterian's undergraduate and graduate programs emphasize small class sizes, a congenial atmosphere between professors and students, and a commitment to service. PC is also home to Cyrus, the largest bronze statue of a Scotsman in the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】format=PDF )〕 ==History ==
Presbyterian College was founded in 1880 by the Rev. William Plumer Jacobs. He had served as the pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Clinton since 1864, and founded the Thornwell Orphanage. Originally called Clinton College, its first class (including three women) graduated in 1883. In establishing PC, his “tree of knowledge”, Jacobs’ goal was to educate young people for lives of service to church and society, and thereby be, in his words, “epistles to Christ’s honor and glory”.〔Nancy Griffith, ''Presbyterian College ''(Arcadia: Charleston, Portsmouth, Chicago, San Francisco, 2001), 7.〕 By the time of Jacobs' death in 1917, the college had grown considerably in size and resources, and had six major buildings. Neville Hall, PC's most recognized structure, was constructed in 1907. The tenure of president Davison McDowell Douglas (1911-1926) saw the tripling of the size of the faculty and student body, the construction of four new buildings, and growth in the College’s assets from $150,000 to over $1 million.〔Nancy Griffith, ''Presbyterian College ''(Arcadia: Charleston, Portsmouth, Chicago, San Francisco, 2001), 15.〕 After weathering the storms of the Great Depression and Second World War, Presbyterian has continued expansion on many fronts through the second half of the twentieth century. It became fully co-educational in 1965 (and in so doing dropped its previous motto, “Where Men are Made”). In 1969, it began admitting African-American students.〔Griffith (2001), ''Presbyterian College,'' pp. 16, 20-21.〕
