Wofford College is a private liberal arts college in Spartanburg, South Carolina. It was founded in 1854. The 175-acre (71 ha) campus is a national arboretum and one of the few four-year institutions in the southeastern United States founded before the American Civil War that still operates on its original campus.
Wofford was founded with a bequest of $100,000 from Benjamin Wofford (1780–1850), a Methodist minister and Spartanburg native who sought to create a college for "literary, classical, and scientific education in my native district of Spartanburg."[5] The college's Main Building is the oldest structure on campus and was designed by the noted Charleston architect Edward C. Jones.[6] In 1941, the college was awarded a chapter of the honor society Phi Beta Kappa and the Beta of South Carolina chapter was the first at a private college in South Carolina.[7]
