Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina, was pictured in 1909, when the Methodist-founded men's college stood as one of the institutions shaping the city's identity. Spartanburg had grown into a center of the Piedmont's cotton textile industry, with mills and railroad lines drawing workers and commerce from the surrounding countryside. Students at the college were preparing for careers in the ministry, law, teaching, and business, and the campus was a point of local pride for families across the upstate. The college also carried the traditions of a Southern town still adjusting to the economic changes of the early twentieth century, when mill employment and the growth of schools and churches were transforming daily life.
