Paul Quinn College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Paul Quinn College is a private, historically black college (HBCU) located in Dallas, Texas, United States. Paul Quinn College holds the distinction as the oldest historically black college in the state of Texas. The college is affiliated with the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME).

History

Founded in 1872 in Austin, Texas, the college is named after William Paul Quinn (1788-1873), the fourth bishop of the AME Church. The school later moved to Waco; there a trade school occupied a building at Eighth Street and Mary Street. Between 1950 and 1954 a campus church, a student union building, a gymnasium, and an administration building were erected.

In 1990, the school moved to its current campus in Dallas, located on the former campus of Bishop College, about one half mile west of Interstate 45 and two miles north of Interstate 20. The fall 1990 semester began on September 20 with 1,020 students.

Dress code establishment

Since the 2007 academic year, students have been required to wear "business casual" attire to classes and in the cafeteria.

Campus

The John Hurst Adams Administrative Building (formerly Price-Branch Classroom Building) contains administrative offices and classrooms.

The Isabel and Comer Cottrell Student Union (completed in 1970) includes the dining facilities and student union.

The primary classroom facilities include:

Joseph J. Rhoads Education Building (completed in 1961)
W. R. White Science and Mathematics Building (completed in 1966, renovated in 1992)

The Richard Allen Chapel (formerly Carr P. Collins Chapel), completed in 1970, serves as the religious education building.

The gymnasium was completed in 1961. Zale Library was completed in 1963.

Residence halls

The school has two residence halls:

Lucy Hughes Hall (formerly Pearl C. Anderson Hall) - The dormitory for females opened in 1969 as a facility of Bishop College.

Best Answer

According to the college's website, "Paul Quinn College was founded by a small group of African Methodist Episcopal circuit-riding preachers in Austin, Texas, April 4, 1872. The African Methodist Episcopal Church, under the leadership of Bishop J. M. Brown opened the College. In 1877, the College was moved to Waco, Texas and was called Waco College, where it was established in a modest one-building trade school that taught newly freed slaves the skills of blacksmithing, carpentry, tanning, and saddle work." http://www.pqc.edu/about.htm
