Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of Lagrange College, Lagrange, Georgia, Vol. 75: Catalogue Number 1920-1921 After several years of prosperity - often two hundred and fifty girls being in attendance - the entire property was sold to the Georgia Annual Conference of the M. E. Church, South. In September, 1857, the College began its distinctive work of Christian education, under the presidency of the Reverend W. C. Connor. In the ensuing years it received patronage from every section of the South. Under the presidency of the Reverend W. M. Harris, D.D., in 1859, it took precedence over all church schools in sending out the first resident graduate class in the South. Of this class, Mrs. Alice Culler Cobb, afterwards a successful teacher in Wesleyan Female College, was an honored graduate. The work of the College was arrested by a most disastrous fire in 1860. However, after the close of the Civil War, Reverend James R. Mason, through his perseverance and indomitable energy, succeeded in rebuilding, and the college started on a long and successful career. In 1885, Rufus Wright Smith became President. During his administration, the property was nearly quadrupled in value, and its curriculum was advanced to that of a standard college.
