Center College: Central University Central University was founded as the result of a split of the Presbyterian Church in Kentucky into Northern and Southern branches. While the Presbyterian Church had split into two branches in 1861, principally over the issue of slavery, the Church did not split in Kentucky until 1867. The branches both claimed control of Centre College in Danville, and it finally took a Federal court in 1871 to determine that the Northern branch controlled the institution. A group of concerned members of the Southern Synod met in 1872 and formed the Alumni Association of Central University. Members included Alumni of Centre College as well as other prominent leaders of the movement. The Alumni Association offered to cooperate with the Synod in establishing a university.

At a meeting of the Alumni Association in Louisville in February 1872, an effort to provide synodical control of the university was defeated. Central University received a charter from the state legislature on March 3, 1873. The charter placed the government of the university in the hands of those who had endowed it and who would later become its graduates and whom the Alumni Association might thereafter elect.

The Association called for an endowment of $150,000 but received pledges for $220,000. Anchorage, Kentucky, was selected as the site for the university, but when the citizens of Richmond and Madison County pledged $101,000, the school opened there on September 22, 1874, with a total of 224 students and one newly built classroom building. The original college organization consisted of a College of Letters and Science, a College of Law, and a Preparatory Department in Richmond, and a College of Medicine in Louisville. In 1886 a College of Dentistry was opened in Louisville, and in the 1890s three associated institutions opened: Jackson (S.P. Lees) Collegiate Institute (1890) in Breathitt County, Middlesboro Collegiate Institute (1892), and Hardin Collegiate Institute (1896).


Served as Interim supply minister to Arbor Dale Presbyterian Church, Banner Elk, NC between 1947 and 1951. See web site for Arbor Dale.
