Uraian Tempat

In 1911, W. S. F. Tatum, wealthy lumberman and Methodist layman, acquired the property and offered it as a gift to the Baptists. He set two conditions: successful operation of a Christian school for girls for five years and an enrollment of at least one hundred students the first year. In September, 1911, the school opened again with a new name, Mississippi Woman’s College, under the leadership of President W. W. Rivers. In November, 1911, the debt-free college was offered to the Mississippi Baptist Convention and was accepted. The growth of Mississippi Woman’s College was a source of pride for Mississippi Baptists. Under the leadership of President J. L. Johnson, Jr., from 1912 to 1932, a splendid new administration building was completed in 1914 and named Tatum Court in honor of the college’s major benefactor. New brick dormitories were added (Ross and Johnson Halls) as well as an infirmary and a model home, which was used as a laboratory for domestic science classes. During this period, the campus expanded to 40 acres. In 1968 William Carey entered a new era when it announced a merger with the prestigious Mather School of Nursing in New Orleans. Another dimension opened for William Carey in 1976 when the college purchased the Gulf Coast Military Academy campus in Gulfport. Known now as William Carey University on the Coast, the 20-acre Gulfport campus offers selected undergraduate and graduate degrees. Phase I of construction of a new campus is schedule to be completed by fall 2009. The campus will be located in the 4800-acre Tradition Planned Community. In 2006 the board of trustees voted to change the name to William Carey University to honor its growth and enhance its potential in an increasingly global environment. The dramatic developments over the years demonstrate that William Carey University has accepted William Carey’s challenging motto: “Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God.”
