 COLLEGE FOOTBALL AND THE NEW SOUTH, 1888-1926
Dr. Andy Doyle of Winthrop will explain what many diehard fans may not even be aware of in relation to the hardscrabble origins of southern college football. What a low-budget enterprise it was, how bad southern teams were compared to those in the North, and how most southerners were either opposed to or indifferent about it. This presentation will sketch the growth of the southern game from this early lack of promise to its coming of age in the 1920s, link that with the development of the South and share some surprising stories in the process.
***MORE SEATS ADDED! LIFE & ACHIEVEMENTS OF ELLIOTT WHITE SPRINGS
Elliott White Springs, a native South Carolinian born in Lancaster in 1896 was “a man of so many talents that it would be difficult to choose any one of his accomplishments as his most outstanding.” At his death in 1959, he was chairman of Springs Cotton Mills, one of the textile industry’s major success stories. He was the creative genius behind the innovative series of amusing, racy ads that made Springmaid sheets a household word and changed the course of American advertising. He was a leading philanthropist, founding the Springs Foundation, Inc. in 1942 that provided college loans, scholarships and aid to local schools, churches and youth programs. Springs’ success is due in part to his creative genius, or as one person put it, “to his panache for living and his visionary ideology.”
