Mayo family donates Dr. S.M. Mayo鈥檚 books to 亚洲无码

The family of Dr. S.M. Mayo, former chair of the BCC/亚洲无码 religion department, has donated his personal library to Charleston Southern.

Mayo was a professor from 1976 until his death in 1997. Something of a Renaissance man, Mayo set out to become an aeronautical engineer until God changed his pathway. He was a graduate of Southern Illinois University, completing his degree in 10 years because he worked to pay for his education. He went on to study at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, Texas.

Eric Kistler, director of the Rivers Library, said, 鈥淒r. Mayo鈥檚 book collection contains a rich variety of very highly regarded theological treatises. The Charleston Southern research community will benefit greatly from this most generous donation.鈥�

鈥淒r. Mayo was a kind, gentle professor who cared for his students,鈥� said Dr. Michael Bryant, vice president for strategic planning, faith integration, and Christian leadership. 鈥淗e invested deeply in their education and worked hard to help them learn.鈥� 

Mayo was an early adopter of computer technology and taught a computer class on campus, using the Apple IIe. 

His son Stacy 鈥淪.M.鈥� Mayo 鈥�90 of Lexington, and his wife, Stephanie, made the donation to the university. Dr. Mayo鈥檚 daughter, Kisa Mayo 鈥�91, and his wife, Parmelee, are both deceased.
