SWU – 1948 💙 In 1948, R. C. Mullinax began his 20-year presidency at Wesleyan Methodist College, marking the longest in the institution’s history at that time. A familiar figure at WMC, he attended the college in 1921 and joined the faculty from 1925 to 1943. From 1943 to 1948, he served as president of the South Carolina Conference before returning to WMC as president, where he led numerous improvements, including adding administrative staff, increasing salaries, paving the road in front of the Ad Building, and much more. #SWU1906to2026 #SWU120Years #SWUhomecoming2026 #SWUlife #120YearsAtSWU #SWUAlumni
