Founded in 1 834 by the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, the school opened its doors on February 3 as Wake Forest Institute, with Samuel Wait as principal. It was located in Wake County, North Carolina, on the plantation of Calvin Jones, near which the village of Wake Forest later developed. Rechartered in 1 838 as Wake Forest College, it is one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in the state. It was exclusively a college of liberal arts for men until 1894, when the School of Law was established. The School of Medicine, founded in 1902, offered a two-year medical program until 1941. In that year, the school was moved from the town of Wake Forest to Winston-Salem, became associated with the North Carolina Baptist Hospital, and was renamed the Bowman Gray School of Medicine. In 1942, Wake Forest admitted women as regular undergraduate students. In 1997, the medical school was renamed the Wake Forest School of Medicine to reflect its integral association with the University. A School of Business Administration was established in 1 948 . In 1 969, the undergradu- ate school was succeeded by the Department of Business and Accountancy and the Department of Economics in Wake Forest College; at the same time the Babcock Graduate School of Management was established. In 1980, the undergraduate program in business and accountancy was reconstituted as the School of Business and Accountancy; in 1995, the name was changed to the Wayne Calloway School of Business and Accountancy. The Division of Graduate Studies, established in 1961, is now organized as the Graduate School and encompasses advanced work in the arts and sciences on both the Reynolda and Bowman Gray campuses in Winston-Salem. In 1946, the trustees of Wake Forest College and the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina accepted a proposal by the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation to relocate the non- medical divisions of the College to Winston-Salem. The late Charles H. Babcock and his wife, the late Mary Reynolds Babcock, contributed a campus site, and building funds were received from many sources. Between 1952 and 1956, the first fourteen buildings were erected in Georgian style on the new Winston-Salem campus. In 1956, the College moved all operations, leaving the 122-year-old campus in the town of Wake Forest to the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
