William Carey College is ideally located in Hattiesburg,
Mississippi, to serve all of South Mississippi, from Jackson to the
Gulf Coast and from the coastal borders of Alabama to Louisiana.
Originally named South Mississippi College, the school was
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 site to Mississippi Baptists for the establishment of a
college 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 known as the "father of modern missions." Today William
Carey College has an enrollment of over 3,000 with branch campuses
in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Gulfport, Mississippi. Although many
of the archives of the college have been destroyed, it is hoped
this book will present the interesting story of William Carey
College and its predecessors, faculty, alumni, and students.
