A Century of Service, Learning and Growth H zstory Saint Augustine's College was founded in 1867 through the joint efforts of the Freemen's Commission of the Protestant Episcopal Church and a group of cler- gy and laymen of the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina headed by Bishop Thomas Atkinson. According to Dr. Smith, the first principal, there were enrolled on the first day only four pupils. By the end of the session of 1871-72, the enrollment had in- creased to 110. including 32 boarding students. Upon the death of Dr. Smith in 1872, the Rev. J. E. C. Smedes took office as temporary principal and remained until 1884, when he was succeeded as principal by The Rev. Robert B. Sutton. Upon the resignation of Dr. Sutton, Dr. Hunter became principal in 1891, and remained in that position until 1916. During the Hunter administration, the cur- riculum was expanded, St. Agnes Hospital was founded, the Chapel and Benson Library was constructed. The Bishop Tuttle School was established by the Womans Auxiliary at Saint Au- gustine's College and began its first session in the fall of 1925 with Miss Bertha Richards as Dean. Each new administration has brought change and growth. After the retirement of the Rev. Edgar H. Goold in 1947, Dr. Harold L. Trigg was elected president, becoming the first Negro president. During his administration the Penick Hall of Science was constructed. Dr. James A. Boyer, son of the first dean and himself a former dean of the Col- lege, became president in 1955. During his administration the enrollment of the College doubled, faculty salaries were substantially increased and the physical plant greatly expanded. Dr. Boyer's resignation and plans to return to the class- room were announced on IVlay 24, 1966, by The Right Rev. Thomas A, Fraser, Bishop of the Diocese of North Carolina and Chairman of the Board of Trustees. Concomitantly, Dr. Prezell R. Robinson, Executive Dean and Professor of Sociol- ogy was appointed Acting President. St. Augustine's College-1900 f-o-f fs J ' 2 1 T11 'HIS'-.TIFCE- 'TT
