Southern University

This institution was established in 1880 under an 1879 constitutional mandate to educate "persons of color". It was originally located in New Orleans, being one of the first colleges for blacks to receive Federal land scrip funds for agriculture and mechanical courses. In 1914 it was removed to this site and reopened with Dr. Joseph Samuel Clark as president.
