History
Established in 1835 by the Associate Reformed Synod of the South as an academy for men, Erskine College became the first four-year church-related college in South Carolina in 1839. It was named for Ebenezer Erskine, one of the founders of The Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church and a pastor. Erskine had led a group of separatists from the Church of Scotland to found a separate Associate Presbytery. Also in 1839 was the formation of the Euphemian Literary Society/Temp, one of four literary societies at Erskine College. This society still exists today. | Come and take it, slogan of the Texas Revolution 1835 was a common year starting on Thursday (see link for calendar). ...

The college adopted a Mission Statement in May of 1991: "Erskine exists to prepare persons for responsible living, service, and ministry, in both Church and society. As a community devoted to Christian commitment and excellence in learning, Erskine accomplishes its mission through undergraduate liberal arts and graduate theological education."
In 1999, Rev. John Carson became president of the college. Upon his installation he noted: "I do not intend to add anything new-not one new straw on the backs of faculty or staff or students," Carson said. "But I do intend to be consistent in making this vision a reality. Erskine College will be, by God's grace, what it has been called to be-a Christian liberal arts college open to all students."
In 1995, the college banned alcohol from the campus and later implemented changes which require all students under the age of 21 to reside in on-campus housing.
Erskine College is currently dealing with several controversial matters including allegations from students related to intimidation by administrators and first amendment violations. Erskine Alums is an alumni-run site with ongoing coverage of the controversy.
