History
The history of Huston - Tillotson University lies in two schools: Tillotson College and Samuel Huston College.
Tillotson Collegiate and Normal Institute was chartered as a coeducational school in 1877 by the American Missionary Society of Congregational churches and its namesake, George Jeffrey Tillotson.[cite web|url=http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/TT/kbt27_print.html|title=Tillotson College: The Handbook of Texas Online] It opened on January 17, 1881 and had 12 presidents: "William E. Brooks, first president (1881-85), was succeeded by John Hershaw (1886), Henry L. Lubbell (1886-1889), William M. Brown (1889-93), Winfield S. Goss (1894-95), Marshall R. Gaines (1896-1904), Arthur W. Partch (1905-06), Isaac M. Agard (1907-18), and Francis W. Fletcher (1919-23). J. T. Hodges, the first African American to be president (1924-29), was followed by Mary E. Branchqv (1930-44) and William H. Jones, who became president in 1944."]Samuel Huston College developed out of an 1876 Methodist Episcopal conference.[cite web|url=http://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/SS/kbs6_print.html|title=Samuel Huston College: The Handbook of Texas Online] An 1883 agreement with the Freedmen's Aid Society led to the development of the college. The college was named after Samuel Huston of Marengo, Iowa and the college opened in 1900.]On October 24, 1952 Tillotson College and Samuel Huston College merged to form Huston-Tillotson College.[cite web|url=http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/HH/kbh12_print.html|title=Huston-Tillotson College] It then became Huston-Tillotson University on February 28, 2005.
