EMORY COLLECE HISTORY IN A NUTSHELL
Interesting Facts Con¬
cerning this Grand
Old College.
In the first half of the last cen¬
tury the Christian denominations in
the United States established a num¬
ber of educational institutions.
Among these was Emory College,
originally located in Oxford, Ga.,
where it remains until the present
time. The Georgia Methodist Confer¬
ence, which met in Columbus in 1836,
appointed trustees to incorporate the
institution under the name Emory Coi
lege.
It was named in honor of Bishop
John Emory, of .Maryland, who was
one of the great men ofMethodism of
his day aqd whose death as the re¬
sult of being thrown from his car¬
riage in 1835 had caused great sor¬
row throughout the borders of the en¬
tire church.
The trustees elected by the Georgia
Conference, pursuant to the direc¬
tion of the latter, bought 1,400 acres
of woodland nearCovington.in Newton
county, and the college which soon,
sprang up was named Oxford, at the
suggestion of Dr. Ignatius A. Few.
In 1837 the college was opened for
students under the presidency of Dr.
i p ew> w h 0 , with Dr. Alexander Means
and Rev. Charles W. Lane,, composed
the faculty, under whose instruction
the first body of students began their
work. The first class, consisting of
three members,was graduated in 1841.
The college grew in popularity and
usefulness until the outbreak of the
Civil war, tho not free from the strug
gles thru which denominational col
leges of that period—almost without
exception—passed. From 1861 to 1865
no classes were graduated because of
the war and the resulting demoraliza
tion and impoverishment, In 1867.
however, college work was resumed
and a class was graduated in 1868.
Among the distinguished men who
presided over the college from the be
ginning until the eighties were Drs.
Few, Longstreet,
as, Luther M. Smith, Osborn L.Smith,
than whom Georgia had no men of
greater strength or learning. What
they did for the church and the state
with the small resources at hand and
entitles them to be held in grateful
remembrance.
The entrance of Dr. A. G. Haygood
into the presidency began a new
epoch in the history of the college.
With great vigor and success did he
press its needs upon the people of the
state. It was also during his admin¬
istration that Mr. George I. Seney, of
Brooklyn, gave about $100,000 to the
institution,erecting the building known
as Seney hall and making large ad¬
ditions to the endowment. So impor¬
tant did Dr, Haygood consider the
well-being of the college that when
he was elected bishop the first time
he declined in order to secure, as far
as his great efforts could, the perpe¬
tuity of the* institution.
Dr. I. S. Hopkins,who had previous¬
ly served in the faculty with distinc¬
tion, was elected to succeed Dr. Hay¬
good in the presidency of the col¬
lege. This versatile man was giftqd
with the insight by which he per¬
ceived the great need of Georgia
for a technological education, and he
began a technological department of
Emory college.
This movement was no doubt large¬
ly responsible for the determination
of the legislature to found an insti¬
tution for the technological educa¬
tion which was so much needed in the
state. Dr. Hopkins was called to he
the first president of the Georgia
School of Technology and his val¬
uable services had much to do with
the safe launching of this useful in¬
stitution.
In 1888 Dr. W. A. Candler, then
one of the editors of The Christian
Advocate, of Nashville, Tenn., was
elected president of the college,which
position he accepted. At once he
threw himself with great ener¬
gy into the important work commit¬
ted to him, and the college prosper¬
ed greatly during the ten years of his
administration as president. Thru his
efforts the indowment was increased
$100,000, the lamented W, P. Patillo,
of Atlanta, giving $25,000 of
amount.
A new library building was also cc«
structed, which the trustees named
"Candler Hall.” With untiring zeal
and gratifying success did
j . serve the institution from 1888
1898 when he was called to the epis
j | copacy.
The next president was Dr. C. E.
Dowman, then of the South Geor- j
j gia Conference, who had previously
’ served in the faculties of Emory col-,
, ege and of Wesleyan college. The;
progress of the college continued un-!
der his administration. The course
.of study was improved and a science
I building was projected at a cost of
$30,000, of which amount Capt. J. p.
Williams, of Savannah, gave $15,000
