Sad news

Dear Furman Community, it is with sadness that I inform you of the passing of former University Chaplain, Dr. Jim Pitts (‘60) from COIVD complications. After graduating Furman, Jim came back as Assistant Chaplain in 1967, became the University Chaplain in 1981, and retired in 2003. Jim’s tenure at Furman over the years was dotted with issues like the first social dance on campus, integration, race relations, the SSOC, Student Protest Era, Vietnam, and the draft lottery. He was instrumental in the development of the Furman Civil Rights Tour and hosting Billy Graham, Jimmy Carter, John Kerry, and Benjamin Mays on campus. Furman is uniquely indebted to his work helping to navigate the university through the separation from the Baptist Convention of South Carolina.

Jim was a passionate Furman supporter, elephantine in his institutional memory, and a man of deep faith. He will be missed.
