Randolph-Macon Women’s College, known as Randolph College since 2007 when it started admitting men, is a private college in Lynchburg, Virginia. The college was established in 1891 when the president of Randolph-Macon College was unable to garner support to have the school be open to female enrollment. After struggling to find a suitable location for the establishment, the city of Lynchburg donated fifty acres to the institution.

Alumni of Randolph College include the writer and Chinese missionary, Pearl S. Buck. She was born June 26, 1892, and was part of the 1914 graduating class. Buck spent most of her formative years in China due to being a child of missionaries. Her book The Good Earth, depicting “peasant life” in China, was the best-selling novel of both 1931 and 1932. She was a missionary in China from 1914-1932 but due to her theological views, she ended up resigning. Pearl S. Buck was an advocate for women and minority rights.

James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr. was a peanut farmer who served as Georgia State Senator from 1963 to 1967, and Governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975. He announced his candidacy for president in 1974 and in 1976, he was nominated by the Democratic Party as their presidential candidate. Carter selected Senator Walter Mondale from Minnesota as his running mate. With the Watergate scandal still fresh in the minds of voters, Carter was viewed as an outsider, which proved to be an asset. The Carter/Mondale ticket narrowly defeated incumbent President Gerald Ford in the general election, making Carter the 39th President of the United States. 

In 1980, Carter faced challengers from all directions (Independent John Anderson, Democrat Ted Kennedy and Republican Ronald Reagan). While Carter was able to secure the re-nomination of the Democratic Party, voters had grown increasingly dissatisfied, and Reagan was elected in a landslide. In 1982, Carter established the Carter Center, a non-profit that promotes human rights. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his work through the Carter Center.
