Description

William Carey College is ideally positioned in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to serve all of South Mississippi, from Jackson to the Gulf Coast and from the coastal borders of Alabama to Louisiana. In the beginning named South Mississippi College, the school was once established in 1906 as Hattiesburg’s first institution of higher learning. After an immense fire destroyed the college in February 1910, local businessman W. S. F. Tatum acquired the property and offered the website online to Mississippi Baptists for the establishment of a school for women. Mississippi Woman’s College opened its doors in 1911 and continued operation until the trustees voted in favor of coeducational status for the college in 1954. Pres. Irving E. Rouse chose the name William Carey College in honor of an Englishman who became referred to as the “father of up to date missions.” Today William Carey College has an enrollment of over 3,000 with branch campuses in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Gulfport, Mississippi. Even though a number of the archives of the college have been destroyed, it’s hoped this book will present the interesting story of William Carey College and its predecessors, faculty, alumni, and students.
