Rollins History 1885
Rollins is founded as a coeducational institution of higher learning by the Congregational Church. Classes officially begin November 4.
1890
Rollins’ first graduates, Ida May Missildine and Clara Louise Guild, receive bachelor’s degrees.
The Sandspur 1894 Rollins publishes the first issue of the College’s student newspaper, The Sandspur, making it the oldest continuous college newspaper in Florida.
Alonzo Rollins was a successful businessman throughout his life, founding the A. W. Rollins Company in 1865, a Chicago-based company that sold dyes to woolen mills. Within 10 years, Rollins’ business was worth $100,000. He began spending his winters in Florida for health reasons. It was his generous gift of $50,000 that secured Winter Park as the winner for the future location of a college in Florida. The College was named in his honor and officially incorporated on April 28, 1885.
