Manly Hall
(built in 1956)
(refurbished in 2002)
(next scheduled refurbishment in 2009)

Charles Manly was the second president of Furman. He served as president from 1881 to 1897 and also taught English. Manly focused on increasing the enrollment and endowment. In 1882, there were 50 students enrolled at Furman. Students who attended Furman lived in houses with Baptist families close to campus however as enrollment increased, Manly saw the need to experiment with a "mess" system -- several groups of students were given an opportunity to live on campus and a janitor prepared and served meals to them. This was successful and in 1896 there were 170 students attending Furman. Manly resigned in 1897 because the trustees wanted him to "canvass for students" and he was not interested in traveling.
