About this School
Millsaps College is a private liberal arts college in Jackson, Mississippi, supported by the United Methodist Church. The college was founded by a Confederate veteran, Major Reuben Webster Millsaps in 1889-90 by the donation of the college's land and $50,000. Dr. William B. Murrah was the college's first president, and Bishop Charles Betts Galloway of the United Methodist Church organized the college's early fundraising efforts. Both men now have halls named after them. Major Millsaps and his wife are both interred in a tomb on campus. Dr. Frances Lucas, Millsaps' current President, was named to her position in 2000 and is the 10th person to hold the Millsaps position of President. She is the first female President of Millsaps in the college's history.
