From the diary of the founder of Presbyterian College
Sept. 22, 1878-
May God Speed the work
Monday afternoon, the 11th was a bright day in the annals of Clinton, inasmuch as it gave to this city the beginning of a college.
Prof. Lee was directed to organize the first of his college classes, ... We propose to get up a regular college charter and to start with the intention of educating our young people to the best we can do. (W.P. Jacobs had also started an orphanage at that time)
... While we want a college good enough for anybody's children, it is especially for our own that our little college is set on foot. May God speed the work. > Learn More about PC History
