摘要

By the middle of the twentieth century, Greenville, South Carolina, had grown from a frontier trading post to a city of 58,000 known as the "Textile Center of the World." Throughout its 185 years of white settlement, the history of Greenville was the history of its business, trade, and industry. During the period 1945-1955 Greenville was in transition. The city was known for its cotton mills and mill villages. This Greenville was fading and a modern Greenville was emerging. The city's business community was eager to throw off its old image and led the effort to recruit new enterprises in the post-World War II period. This study examines four of Greenville's twentieth century institutions, the Woodside Cotton Mill; Parker High School; Charles E. Daniel, founder of Daniel Construction Company; and Bob Jones University. These seemingly disparate entities are linked in one fundamental aspect. Each one is a vital part of Greenville's history as a center of business and enterprise. The declining Woodside Cotton Mill and its village typified the old Greenville, as did Parker High School. Newcomers Charles E. Daniel and Bob Jones University helped define modern Greenville. Between 1945 and 1955, the Greenville business elite weathered a fundamental shift away from old-line institutions. They filled the void with new institutions that arose at the same time the old ones were vanishing. This study presents a history of that transition.

Daniel);和鲍勃·琼斯大学。这些看似完全不同的实体在一个基本方面相互联系。每个人都是格林维尔作为商​​业和企业中心的历史的重要组成部分。不断下降的伍德赛德棉纺厂及其村庄代表了老格林维尔,帕克高中也是如此。新人查尔斯·丹尼尔(Charles E. Daniel)和鲍勃·琼斯大学(Bob Jones University)帮助定义了现代格林维尔。在1945年至1955年之间,格林维尔(Greenville)商业精英经历了从旧制度转变的根本性转变。他们填补了旧制度消失的同时出现的新制度的空白。这项研究介绍了这一转变的历史。
