abstract
  • SwCC was founded in 1948 by the educator and minister G. P. Bowser under the name Southern Bible Institute in Fort Worth, Texas. The initial class consisted of 45 students. Initially the school intended to buy property in Fort Worth to erect a permanent school plant. However, in the summer of 1949, the school had the opportunity to purchase the property of the closed Texas Military College in Terrell, which it did and relocated the campus that fall, at which time it took its current name. The campus houses two locally historic facilities: * the first dwelling erected in Terrell, an octagonal-shaped house (built by the city's namesake; despite its shape it was called a "Round House") to give better protection against Indians. The house contained the first glass windows in Kaufman County. It is one of only twenty surviving Round Houses in the entire nation. * the administration building which originally served as the home of the Texas Military College. It was built by Mr. W. B. Toone, whose wife was born in the Round House also located on the property. SwCC became accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1973, and is currently accredited to award Associate and Bachelor level degrees.
