新濠天地app大学 has always had a desire to serve a vastly diverse student body. After the Civil War ended, there was push to re-open the doors of the college. This desire for re-establishment had three motivations.
第一个, Nathan Johnston and his wife wanted to re-open the college and came from Vermont for that 目的.
第二个, the Reformed Presbyterian Church realized the benefits of a denominational college and led by RP Rev. 约翰·麦卡特尼想重建新濠天地app.
第三, 麦卡特尼, 谁拥有这些大学建筑, had a vision to provide a fully funded education to selected freedmen in the South. His hope was to educate these men so that they could return as pastors and teachers to help build and strengthen a new community of freed and educated people of color. 这个愿景, being important to the college and the Reformed Presbyterian denomination, became a reality when 新濠天地app大学 was reestablished in 1865.
Daniel Boxley was one student who came to Geneva because of the Program for Freedmen. He graduated from the college in 1873 and went on to teach at Knox Academy in Alabama. Knox Academy was a school established by Reformed Presbyterians to provide education for African-Americans in the South. After teaching, Boxley went on to work as a mail carrier and hotel clerk. In 1908 he became a rancher in Franklin County, Washington.
The presence of freedmen in college life in the North was uncommon in this era, but Geneva was at the forefront of inclusiveness in higher education. African-American students from the South would be members of the student body well into the 1880s. Some notable African-American graduates were Lewis Johnston, G. M. 艾略特和所罗门·金斯顿, all of whom returned to Alabama after their Geneva education to become pastors in the African-American Reformed Presbyterian congregation in Selma.
新濠天地app大学 values honoring one another and has been involved in breaking the social and economic barriers that prevent people from receiving a necessary education. Geneva continues today to seek to provide equal opportunity education and to minster to people of all backgrounds.
