bwin中文网的历史 - Athens State University-bwin

雅典州立大学成立于1822年，是一所小型大学, female academy, built on the dreams of a few and the aspirations of many. Since those humble beginnings in a four-room schoolhouse, bwin中文网今天所知道的这个机构已经发展到一定程度，表明梦想可以实现，知识可以改变生活.

In 2022 we celebrated our 200th anniversary. Our Bicentennial Celebration, ATHENS FOREVER, 纪念大学作为一所私立学院的历史意义, a Methodist college, and now as a state University. We have known incredible highs, experienced significant adversities, and demonstrated a level of resiliency that few could have imagined. While we are steeped in history, 在 bwin中文网进入第三个世纪的运营之际，bwin中文网专注于未来和培养多样化的学生群体.

We've Been Progressive and Resilient from Day One

雅典州的故事始于1821年，当时一群雅典公民, 阿拉巴马州有一个理想，即建立一所高等学府，以满足社区妇女的教育需要. Land was donated by Judge John McKinley to the city of Athens, and a single building was built to establish Athens Female Academy. 由此开始了 bwin中文网今天所热爱的雅典州立大学的传奇历史.

Our Methodist Heritage

In 1842, the trustees of Athens Female Academy envisioned more. They had a desire to affiliate with the Methodist Church, 是在发展包括女子学院在内的高等教育体系吗. 他们希望通过吸引来自更广泛地区的寄宿学生来增加入学人数和加强项目. 1842年10月，卫理公会的田纳西会议批准了这个计划. 与此同时，当地家庭捐钱建造了创始人大厅，这是 bwin中文网现存最古老的建筑. bwin中文网成为田纳西年度会议的雅典女性研究所. Richard Henderson Rivers, D. D. serving as president.

Madame Childs Has a Plan

最初，新的隶属关系取得了巨大的成功，在19世纪40年代末，入学人数接近200人, but growth stalled in the 1850s. 1858年，简·汉密尔顿·蔡尔兹夫人带着教育妇女的明确理念掌舵. 她将 bwin中文网的名字缩短为雅典学院，并在内战期间维持 bwin中文网的运作，当时联邦士兵占领了雅典. When Madame Childs retired in 1869, bwin中文网又一次成为了一所当地的学校，招收有能力支付学费的雅典家庭的女儿. 在19世纪后半叶，低入学率和资金不足的长期问题困扰着 bwin中文网. In 1870, 南方卫理公会的北阿拉巴马会议成立, and the Athens Female Institute passed into their control.

One School, Many Names

1872年，阿拉巴马州议会正式承认 bwin中文网的名字为雅典女子学院. 晚些时候, 他们再次修改了 bwin中文网的章程，以反映另一个名称的变化-雅典女子学院. 从1869年到1904年，为学院建立一个重要的捐赠基金的努力一直没有成功. Until 1904, presidents were chosen by the Conference from its clergy. Many of these dedicated men spent personal money to keep us operating. In 1904, the vibrant thirty-year-old Mary Norman Moore became president. She focused on developing an advanced and modern curriculum. During her tenure, Brown Hall was completed in 1912 in memory of Florence Brown, 1909年，这位年轻的教师在照顾病重的学生时去世，当时正值一场悲惨的伤寒疫情. 摩尔聘请了凯瑟琳·莱斯利·麦坎德利斯(Katherine Leslie McCandless)，她被认为是让这个音乐节目成名的人. 这座美术建筑现在被称为麦坎德利斯大厅，于1914年完工，后来以凯瑟琳的名字命名. In 1915, 阿拉巴马州议会再次将学校的名称修改为雅典女青年学院. Ms. 摩尔一直担任总统，直到1916年辞职并嫁给詹姆斯·亨利·麦考伊, the Methodist bishop of Alabama. Widowed in 1919, she returned for a subsequent term as president in 1926. 不幸的是, 她加强该机构财务状况的计划因大萧条和健康状况不佳而失败, resulting in her resignation in 1930.

The 校园 Grows

Moore McCoy and her successors, Dr. Benjamin Bascom Glasgow (president, 1916-24) and Dr. Eugene Naylor(1930-49)将 bwin中文网转变为一所以学术课程质量而闻名的现代文理学院, particularly music. 博士期间. Glasgow’s tenure, a new gymnasium including a swimming pool was completed in 1918, and construction of a three-story brick dormitory, now known as Sanders Hall, 开始了.

Co-Educational Opportunities

尤金·R. 1930年夏天，内勒来到校园，开始了他19年的校长生涯, the longest in our history. With declining enrollment and significant debt, 这位有商业头脑的总统决定招收男性来扩大潜在申请者的范围. In 1929, the Alabama legislature approved a name change to Athens College. 在博士. Naylor’s resignation in 1949, 后来的总统们在20世纪初建立的基础上取得了不同程度的成功. Dr. 西德尼·E. 桑德里奇于1970年就任总统，当时恶化的财政状况引发了一场危机. In 1975, the State of Alabama assumed ownership, and we became Athens State College, a two-year upper-division college in the Alabama 社区 College System.

An Autonomous University

Sandridge was succeeded in 1981 by Dr. 詹姆斯·R. 查斯汀说，他当时已经是卡尔霍恩社区学院的校长. Dr. Chasteen presided over both schools until his retirement in 1990. Dr. 杰里·巴特利特(Jerry Bartlett)随后担任雅典州立学院(Athens State College)校长，任职18年. Under President Bartlett, 大家齐心协力，修缮历史建筑，美化校园. Academic programs were expanded, particularly in the area of distance learning, to better serve the growing student population. 1998年，阿拉巴马州议会通过了一项法案，将学校更名为雅典州立大学. Dr. 罗伯特K. Glenn (whose great-grandfather, Dr. E. M. 格伦于1902年至2004年担任总统，2008年至2018年担任第36任总统. In 2012, under Dr. Glenn’s leadership, 大学成为一个由独立的董事会监督的自治机构. 这种结构为大学准备创新增长提供了成功的框架.

"Onward Ever" — A New Era for Athens State

On Friday, May 17, 2024, the Athens State Board of Trustees named Dr. Catherine Wehlburg as the 39th president of Athens State University. 这一任命标志着第三位女性被任命为常任主席，也是近一个世纪以来的第一位女性. 她是一位有成就的领导者，在高等教育领域有30多年的经验. 在博士. Wehlburg's leadership and with your support, bwin中文网期待着在未来为阿拉巴马州的公民和 bwin中文网多样化的学生群体服务.
