Last Friday, Meredith College concluded the celebration of its 125th anniversary. The college was chartered in 1891. According to Thomas Meredith, who came up with the idea for the college, Meredith was made to create “a first-rate course of female education.” Today, there are 42 women’s colleges in the United States, and Meredith is one of the largest. Meredith College has been celebrating the occasion for the past year, and accompanied it with a large-scale fundraiser. On Friday, the college announced a $75 million fundraising campaign.
