Clark College is a coedw cational four-ycar under- graduate Methodist College operated for the benefit of all qualified students, with- out regard to creed or race. Clark was among the first in- stitutions established by reli- gious denominations after the Civil War to provide Blacks in the South with for- mal education. Clark Uni- versity, as it was then called in keeping with the custom of the times, was named af- ter Bishop Davis W. Clark, first president of the Freed- men,s Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Atlantis Summcrhill sec- tion. The students, a scant handful, had little or no pre- vious academic lraining. Clark's beginning was en, tirely typical. Nearly every Black university founded in the early post-war years began in much the same way. The type of institution envisaged by the founders however, is reflected in an allmion t0 the iirst instmb tors. who were described as good scholars and success- ful teachers. One early ben- efaclor, Bishop Gilbert Haven, visualized Clark as the school that would set the lone I'm :1 other Mcdludisl educational institutions for Biucks. lllllllllllllih tlllllllllllll E. h. .61, .

The laying of the cornerstone in 1877 of Christman Hall, the first permanent Imilniing at old Clark University, as we were then lmown1 was a signaiicanl clay in the life of the institution and of Atlanta. Clark changed locations several times during its early years, but with the acqui- sition of 450 acres in South Atlanta in 1377 and the subsequent move to that site the institution gradually began to re- alize same of the aspirations of its founda ers. With the change in location came a gradual expansion in concept and purpose. Yes, Clark College has a rich heritage. It is now preparing for the lime in higher education when quality, undergirded by understanding and support, will deter- mine its real future. L1 4. 'v'i'. TB n' .
