This book is about Fourah Bay College (FBC) and its role as an institution of higher learning in both its African and international context. The study traces the College's development through periods of education (1787-1875), colonial education (1876-1937), and development education (1938-2001). FBC was known as the "Athens of " due to a strong focus within its curriculum on learning Greek and Latin and because of the unparalleled success of its graduates at home and abroad. The text most often employed for the study of Greek was the Greek New Testament. Founded by the Anglican Church, FBC was not a secular college. Students studied to become priests and catechists and helped spread Christianity throughout West Africa.
