Introduction Oil October 11, 1848, Chowan Baptist Female Institute opened its doors. As the name Chowan indicates, the institution is located in the northeast section of North Carolina, a portion of which was once occupied by the Chowan Indians. The name of this tribe was given to a county, a river, an association of Baptist, and through this association, to an institution. The first recorded discussion concerning the establishment of Chowan Female Institute took place in April of 1848; yet less than six months later the institute opened its doors with a com- plete faculty, with ade(|uate buildings and equipment, and with a creditable enrollment which grew through the school year to nearly fifty students. The dream of a college lor girls located in the bounds of the Chowan Association was einisioned Irom time to time, but it began to take definite form during an informal conversalion after supper in the home of a Baptist deacon. Dr. Godwin Collnn Moore. On Friday morning. May VK the Association took up an important item: The establishment by the Chowan Association of an institution of higher learning for girls. A full Board of Trustees was elected and instructed to obtain a charter from the next State Legislature. The Board ol Trustees was authorized to purchase provisions and adopt all the arrangements necessar to carry out the plans for the Institute. The name which the Chowan Association decided upon for the School was the ChowaTi Female Institute . The lream of Godwin CottoTi Moore was realized. As a result, a new day dawned for hundreds of girls in northeastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia, who had picxioU ' U been forgotten in the matter of higher education. The College was located in the old Hertlord Academx building on Broad Street. Within three vears McDowell Columns wa constructed, and in 18.51, the college mo ed tlieie. The building serves today as the administration hea(l(|uarlers.
