Abstract
This is an interview with Dr. Allen David Edwards (1905-2004) who taught at Winthrop College from 1944 to 1971. Mr. Edwards talks about Winthrop College and the combined Sociology and Social Work Department and how these have changed and developed over the time that he worked there and after he left. As he discusses Winthrop policy changes, he talks about the changes in uniforms, the shift to being a co-ed college, and the change from a single college with many departments to Winthrop having multiple colleges each with multiple departments under them. He then talks about the connections that were forged between Winthrop and York County while he was there. Mr. Edwards also mentions Winthrop’s presidents and faculty members that were fired while Mr. Edwards was at Winthrop. He ends with what he went on to do after leaving Winthrop College.
