ESTABLISHED IN 1825 as the College of Lou- isiana, in Jackson, the school merged in 1848 with Centenary College, which had been founded six years earlier by The Methodist Church in Clinton, Mississippi. In 1908, accept- ing a generous offer of land and support from the Atkins family and a group of friends, the College moved to Shreveport. As it is the ol- dest private college west of the Mississippi Riv- er, Centenary ' s roots are deep. Centenary seeks to provide its students with a basic understanding of human affairs and problems; to motivate them to think clearly, honestly, and constructively and to communi- cate effectively; and to introduce them to the arts and sciences, that they may enjoy the best of the heritage of civilization.
