From 1927 to 1933, Bob Jones College was located in Bay County Florida.  However, during the depression, students could not afford to attend college a long distance from home, so in 1933 BJU moved to Cleveland, Tennessee.  In 1947, it moved to Greenville, South Carolina and changed its name to Bob Jones University.  That year, Bob Jones, Jr. was named President.  In 1971, Dr. Bob Jones Jr. became the university chancellor, and Dr. Bob Jones III assumed the responsibilities of president. Dr. Stephen Jones was installed as the fourth-generation president during commencement in 2005.<ref>http://www.bju.edu/about/history.php</ref>
