Text of marker: "ANDREW FEMALE COLLEGE. This institution was founded in 1854 and conducted under the auspices of the South Georgia Conference of the Methodist Church. It was named for Bishop James O. Andrew (1794-1871), a noted pioneer leader of Methodism. Augustus Alden was the first college president. This college has been a great source of supply for school teachers in Southwest Georgia. During the War Between the States the buildings were used for a Confederate hospital. In 1892, the college was destroyed by fire and more modern buildings were erected. 120-2A GEORGIA HISTORIC MARKER 1983" - External Identifiers:
