Everybody Loves a Terrier

The sleek and handsome Boston Terrier is a good mascot for Wofford College— small in size but courageous and intelligent. The breed has been associated with athletics teams since a 1909 baseball game, when a neighborhood dog named Jack raced out of the stands to drive off an opposing runner trying to tie the score.

Faculty Generations Reflecting the transition from the original faculty to a new generation, this photograph was made in the college library on Feb. 25, 1894. The college’s third president, James H. Carlisle, is shown here second from the right, and his successor, Henry Nelson Snyder, is seated fourth from the right. The DuPré Administration Building Five of the six original buildings on the Wofford campus (1854) are in use today. This house was originally a faculty home occupied for more than a century by successive generations of the DuPré family. Today, known as the DuPré Administration Building, it is used as an office building by the Board of Trustees, the president, the dean of the college, and other members of the academic administrative staff. The Roger Milliken Arboretum Every fall, the Wofford campus and the Roger Milliken Arboretum provide a feast for the senses, showcasing nearly 5,000 trees across more than 150 acres. The world-class horticultural display helps promote environmental consciousness, educates the Spartanburg community and emphasizes the importance of trees in an increasingly urban world.
Main Building in 1856 This daguerreotype, made about the time “Old Main” was completed, is believed to be the oldest surviving photograph of a Spartanburg County landmark. Although there have been three extensive renovations since the 1850s, the Italianate exterior remains true to the original design of Edward C. Jones. The Wofford Village Imagine the best kind of neighborhood a college senior could live in — a place where there is a sense of community built around interesting residential architecture, front porches, bicycle and pedestrian-friendly streets, shops, outdoor recreation and “hang out places.” This neighborhood is the Wofford Village, a project now in its final phases of construction. Old Main in the Snow Designed by noted Charleston architect Edward C. Jones, Wofford’s Main Building (affectionately referred to as “Old Main”) has been at the center of academic life at Wofford since its completion in 1854.
