Historical Sketch j» V HE fifty-seventh North Carolina Christian Missionary Convention met at Kinston, N. C., October 30, to November 2, 1901. The Committee on Education, consisting of D. W. Davis, B. H. Melton, W. J. Crumpler, E. A. Moye, and Dr. II. D. Harper, made a favorable report for the purchase of Kinsey Seminary, in Wilson, N. C., from the Wilson Educational Association. Accord- ing to the report of this committee, which was duly adopted, the Board of Managers of the N. C. C. M. C. were to act as agents of the Convention in acquiring this college property, and were to appoint four trustees to have immediate supervision of the college. The institution Avas named Atlantic Christian College and incor- porated May 1, 1902. Mr. George Hackney, of Wilson, N. C., was made Treasurer of the College, and about $4,000 was contributed the first year. The building was taxed to its utmost capacity with students at the college opening in September, 1902. The college property was bonded for the original indebtedness of about $11,000 in 1902, which was fully paid in 1911. The payment of this debt made accessible the “W. N. and Orpali Hackney Memorial Fund ’ which was bequeathed “for the education of worthy young men and women,” and which consisted of real estate in Wilson to the value of about $3,000. In 1911 there was built a modern brick dormitory for men, on the campus, at an expense of about $15,000. In 1914 there was acquired a 672-acre farm in Onslow County, two miles south of Jackson- ville, N. C. The Carolina Enlargement Campaign in the summer of 1920 yielded the college for endowment in cash and good pledges, $156,677.70. The following have presided over the institution : J. J. Harper, 1904-1907; J. C. Caldwell, 1907-1916 H. S. Hilley, 1920—. J. C. Coggins, 1902-1904; R. A.
