715asa Yfafkweaf Walls Un the great seal of Samford University are written the words, Deo et Doctrinaef' God and Instruction. These words give the reasons for the existence of Samford University. ftll of its plans, activities, and goals are centered around Cod and Instruction. Since the chartering of Samford in 1841 by the Baptists of Alabama. the University has had as its purpose the promotion of Christianity through the development of Christian character. scholastic attainment. and a sense of personal responsibility to God and man. For 124 years Samford University has been a hallowed institution in the purest sense of the word. Its being and purpose are hallowed. Its people are hallowed. Its very halls are hallowed. It has been set apart for holy purposes. forthe service and worship of Cod, for the holy development of men-spiritually, mentally, physically, socially. Today Samford University continues its work, enthusiastically and unceasingly, for academic excellence in a Christian environment. Samford University first opened its doors as Howard College in Marion, Alabama, in 1842 with an enrollment of nine young men. Her first president was Samuel S. Sher- man who put 'cfeet to his prayersv and rolled a wheelbarrow about Marion collecting books for the first Howard library. With this kind of interest and hard work the old Howard College grew fast. In 1887 she moved to the East Lake section of Birmingham where for many years students attended classes in buildings such as Old Main and courted under the shade of old Sherman'Oak. This campus was the scene of the fiery literary societies whose debating contests were the popular attraction of the year, the football classics between Howard and Birming- ham Southcrn, the swiping of Southe1'n's panther, the navy unit at Howard during WOI'1d War ll. and many other events written in the memories of thousands of Howardites. In l957 the College moved across town to her third home, the hallowed hills above Lakeshore Drive in Shades Valley. The sigh was 'gLakeshore at last! In 1965 Howard College be- came Samford University, named for Frank Park Samford, chairman of the Howard Board of Trustees for over 25 years, and chairman of the Liberty National Life Insurance Com- pany. Today Samford University is the largest privately supported and fully accredited four- year co-educational university in Alabama. V Q31 DOC Q! Q 410 Tsxv o nv' . lu , T 4, 4, ll.
