Wofford Collegeとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Wofford College is a private undergraduate liberal arts college of about 1,500 students located in Spartanburg, South Carolina, United States. Wofford was founded in 1854 with a bequest of $100,000 from the Rev. Benjamin Wofford (1780–1850), a Methodist minister and Spartanburg native who sought to create a college for "literary, classical, and scientific education in my native district of Spartanburg." The college is related to the United Methodist Church. The college's Main Building is the oldest structure on campus and was designed by the noted Charleston architect Edward C. Jones. In 1941, Wofford received a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, at the time becoming only the second college in the state to hold a chapter of the national scholarly society.
