Founded only two years after the end of the Civil War, Atlanta's Morehouse College to this day remains one of the few traditional men's colleges in the United States. Originally dedicated to an all-black student body that was focused on studying the ministry and education, today the school welcomes students of all races to a full range of liberal-arts studies. The extraordinary history of the school was first explored in 1917's *History of Morehouse College,* written by the then-dean of the college. From its founding and early presidents to the roster of illustrious alumni and their work through the early years of the 20th century, this is an important document of African-American history, and includes the school's original charter and lists of students and graduates from 1871 through 1916. African-American author and educator BENJAMIN GRIFFITH BRAWLEY (1882-1939) wrote extensively on black culture.

History of Morehouse College,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: History of Morehouse College (Hardcover)
As a resident assitant, going through the training, I was charged to learn the history of the naming of the residential halls. One of the texts that assisted me was A Candle in the Dark. Another book that was mentioned in that was History of Morehouse College by the Dean of the College, Benjamin G. Brawley, which houses our English, Music, Foriegn Language, and History departments. I originally ordered this book July 25, 2006, and today, 4 DEC 06, I received it! The book details the lives of the various presidents, from its humble beginnings as the Atlanta Institute to Presidents Robert, Graves, Sale, and Hope. Excellent companion and rarity, indeed!
