ALLEN UNIVERSITY (AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL), COLUMBIA, S. C. 



Allen Universit}'', occupying commodious grounds in the suburbs of 

 the city of Columbia, was organized in April, 1881, under the control of 

 the Columbia and South Carolina Annual Conferences of the African 

 Methodist Episcopal Church, and is sustained by annual contributions 

 from the churches which compose these Conferences. The property 

 already secured aggregates in value about eight thousand dollars. It is 

 in charge of colored educators. The aim of the institution is set forth in 

 a circular written by Right Rev. Wni. F. Dickerson, D. D., of the A. M. 

 E. Church, which concludes as follows : 



" To aid in the development of the highest tj^pe of Christian manhood, 

 to prove the negro's ability, to inaugurate and manage a large interest, 

 to govern, to control under normal impulses with only the help which is 

 afforded institutions of like grade and similarly situated (for which we 

 entreat our friends) ; to stimulate and encourage the worthy and aspiring 

 young women of a race pressed to the rear by its previous condition ; to 

 train them not only for the pulpit, the bar, the sick room and school 

 room, but for intellectual agriculturists, mechanics, and artizans, so that 

 those who are now doing the manual labor in the South shall be fully 

 equipped to perform the mental operations incident thereto as well. To 

 educate, in the fullest sense of that comprehensive word, is the work, 

 mission and cause for the establishment of Allen University "
