LANDER COLLEGE
In the Fall of 1973, I began college classes. The college I chose was Lander College in Greenwood, SC. Lander was 172 miles from Bennettsville…a good three-hour drive.
It wasn’t until I chose to attend Lander that I learned my maternal grandmother studied at Lander too. She attended from 1909-1912.
Recently, I was in contact with David Mash with Lander University Archives concerning some Lander items of my grandmother. With a bit of downsizing I am donating these items under my grandmother’s name. They will make a wonderful addition to their memorabilia collection for Lander generations to come.
The donated items are:
Two postcards...
The top postcard was sent to my great-grandmother dated September 29, 1909 after my grandmother arrived at Lander to study. If you look closely at the top right hand of the postcard, you will see where my grandmother circled the window and wrote..."This is my room."
The bottom postcard was sent to my grandmother's sister dated March 18, 1912 right before my grandmother's completion of her second of college.
A 1930 calendar...
