Furman extends campaign one year

When Furman publicly launched the Forever Furman comprehensive campaign there was little doubt that the university could achieve the goal of $150 million. The most optimistic of them even suggested the fund-raising drive could raise $175 million. But even more?

Furman's sesquicentennial celebration in 1976 coincided with the nation's bicentennial.

Furman's last big birthday celebration - the school's sesquicentennial - was held in 1975-76. Alumni, faculty, staff and students marked the celebration with scholarly meetings, seminars, lectures, musical events and dinners.
