Excerpt from Nods and Becks, 1922, Vol. 5 The institution was reorganized under Dr. Preston, in 1898, as a stock company, of which he was the head until 1906. It was then decided that a majority of the stock should be offered for sale to the Presbyteries of Bethel, Enoree, and South Caro lina, under the condition that the rest of the stock should be purchased by them. This condition was complied with, and the college was taken over by the Synod of South Carolina. A board of trustees was then organized. This board is a self-perpetuating body, representatives of the several Presbyteries of the state, and it is their duty to control and govern the college. The three Presbyteries owning the College, then overtured the other Presbyteries of' the Synod of South Carolina to unite with them in the ownership and control of the college. This overture was acted upon favorably by the Presbyteries, and the college is now owned jointly by the Presbyteries of Bethel, Charleston, Congaree, Enoree, Harmony, Pee Dee, Piedmont, and South Carolina, of the Synod of South Carolina, in connection with the Presbyterian Church of the United States.
