Letter from Joseph Dupuy Eggleston to William P. Jacobs

Letter from Joseph Dupuy Eggleston to William P. Jacobs

Written in 1919, this letter from Joseph Dupuy Eggleston (Class of 1886) to William P. Jacobs, President, Presbyterian College, Clinton, S.C., talks of the virtues of H-SC and shares news of classmates' lives more than thirty years after graduation. Joseph D. Eggleston was H-SC President from 1919-1938. He was the third member of the class to be elected. He served during the Great Depression and, in 1936, he persuaded a descendant of one of the founding Trustees to give a building (Morton Hall) in memory of his ancestor - the most generous gift the College had ever received. Prior to his presidency, he had a distinguished career in public education, including two terms as State Superintendent of Public Instruction in Virginia.
