History

The building in which the University Health Center is housed is known as the Woolford Infirmary in honor of Harriet A. Woolford, a 1913 Morgan College graduate. Shortly after graduation, Ms. Woolford was employed as a teacher and dormitory matron at the Branch Preparatory School in Lynchburg, Virginia. In December 1917, a fire destroyed the school, but not before Ms. Woolford managed to save all of the students housed in the dormitory. Tragically, Ms. Woolford died after the fire. Morgan College recognized her heroism by naming its college infirmary in her honor.
