Marguerite Chiles started as a student at Furman in 1936 and retired from the Vice President for Student Affairs in 1980. During her time at Furman, she lived in the residence halls at the Women's College, was responsible for planning all student activities outside the classroom, advised student organizations and worked on the traditional campus events with the students. As she moved up the administrative ladder to serve as dean of women, assistant vice president for student affairs and then vice president, Miss Chiles made a commitment to remain close to the students and did just that!

Judson Hall
(built in 1961)
(refurbished in 2004)
(next scheduled refurbishment in 2011)

The name "Judson" honors two of the Female College's most distinguished educators. Charles Judson was the second professor (James Clement Furman was the first) hired by Furman's trustees when the school moved from Winnsboro to Greenville in 1851. He was a Connecticut native, a graduate of the University of Virginia, and a wealthy Baptist layman. He soon became treasurer of Furman, and in 1863 became president of the Female College because Furman closed during the Civil War. He added a fourth year to the college's three year curriculum, required the study of a foreign language for graduation, and changed public oral examinations to private written ones. After Furman reopened in 1866, he divided his time between the two colleges (the women's school enrolled far more students than did the men's) before he leased it in the 1870s to Alexander Townes.

His most significant contribution, perhaps, was persuading his sister, Mary, to come to the college in 1874. She was Lady Principal until 1912, teaching astronomy, botany, English, art, French and gymnastics, among other subjects. She brought a commitment to women's equal education and faith in the potential of her students as well as a New England morality to the school.

William Joseph McGlothlin was Furman president from 1919 to 1933. McGlothlin was interested in moving the campus out of town so it could grow however received hostility. Hence, he purchased lots of land and the campus grew where it was originally located. In 1924, Furman achieved accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools for the first time. There was a major expansion of athletics and the women's college become a part of Furman for financial reasons. President McGlothlin died after a car crash while on his way to the Baptist convention.
