  • The Founding and Defining of a University
    An Occasional Paper Number 21 2007 The Founding and Defining of a University By: Marshall Terry The Founding and Defining of a University PREFACE Southern Methodist University (SMU) was founded for a distinct purpose, to serve as the “connectional institution” for the Methodist Church west of the Mississippi when Vanderbilt University gave up its Church connection and that function. Fortunately for the new university, the Church was in the strong Wesleyan tradition of “think and let think” and its founding president Robert Stewart Hyer was a physicist and knowledgeable academic who said at the outset, in 1916, “Religious denominations may properly establish institutions of higher learning, but any institution which is dedicated to the perpetuation of a narrow, sectarian point of view falls far short of the standard of higher learning.” So, founded as a university with a theology school to train ministers and a tiny music school, SMU, while cherishing the spiritual and moral values and traditions of the Church, was by design denominational and not sectarian. Through the years this openness to various ideas and truth claims has led to SMU’s firm educational basis in the liberal arts. In this essay I will consider the character of the founding president, Robert S. Hyer, and of the defining president Willis McDonald Tate; and look at the definition of the University that emerged from Tate’s 1962-1963 Master Plan; and finally assess some of the University’s successes and failures to act according to its stated principles along the way to the present. HYER Who was this founding president and what were the attributes that allowed him to found and lead a new university of limited financial means compared with other new private universities such as Chicago and Stanford? Hyer was a native of Georgia and graduate of Emory College.

  • Chapter One – the Founding of Polytechnic College 1890
    Chapter One – The Founding of Polytechnic College 1890 In August 1890, Reverend Milton Koger Little bounced around in his buggy examining three tracks offered to Fort Worth Methodists for a new regional college. The Methodist Episcopal Church South Northwest Texas Conference pastors and congregants saw the growth of the city to twenty-thousand in that year’s census as an opportunity to educate nearby city youth and those on ranches near and far. Interested Methodists had offered three tracks: a large one in Arlington Heights, a smaller one on the south side of downtown, and fifty acres four miles east of Fort Worth. On the 24th, hot as only Texas can be at the end of summer, Little, pastor of Missouri Avenue Church, climbed down from his buggy and drove a stake in the middle of the tract on a hill over a hundred feet above the Trinity River to the north. Early Fort Worth settlers Arch Hall and his brother W.D. Hall, along with their nephew, George Tandy, had offered the site for the college. The North Texas contingent proposed the new college at the conference’s November meeting at the fifth-day’s afternoon session in Abilene where it was unanimously approved to open a Methodist institute of learning in young, but burgeoning, Fort Worth.

  • From High on the Hilltop: a Brief History of SMU; Chapter 1: Founding
    UFROM G ON THE HILLTO ..." A BRIEF HISTORY OF SMU MARSHALL TERRY A BRIEF HISTORY OF SMU 1 FOUNDING The SMU story has to do with the growth of this original prairie college into a nationally recognized university in so short a time through the effo11s of dedicated people who in one way or another shared SMU's vision. The one who brought this vision of a great university to be built on a sea of Johnson grass outside a young, still-frontier city in Texas was a research scientist and educator and SMU's founding president, Dr. Robert Stewart Hyer. Such was the scope ofhis belief in the future of this new university that he (as the story goes) chose for it the colors ofHarvard and Yale and the Latin motto "Veritas liberabit vos"--"the truth will make you free"--a Biblical quote that was echoed by Methodist leader Charles Wesley in his saying, "Let us unite those two so long divided, truth and vital piety." Dr. Hyer also conceived a magnificent building in the style, no less, of Thomas Jefferson's University of Virginia to be the original home and forev­ er the symbol of SMU. For a while, after the miracle ofit being actually built, it would sit almost alone on the prairie campus and house the whole new uni­ versity. Recognizing the early very real financial commitment of the city of Dallas to SMU, it would be named Dallas Hall. In the four years between the university's founding in 1911 and the open­ ing of its doors to students in 1915, the indefatigable Hyer managed somehow to build the key building and put up a couple more, bring in a small endow­ ment and engage a lively faculty.

    “KING JAMES:” JAMES EDWARD DICKEY (1864-1928), EMORY COLLEGE PRESIDENT AND METHODIST BISHOP by THOMAS HAROLD JACKSON, JR. (Under the Direction of Libby V. Morris and Thomas G. Dyer) ABSTRACT James Edward Dickey was the twelfth president of Emory College and the last to serve at its Oxford, Georgia campus before it was consolidated into Emory University. As were many of his predecessors, Dickey was an Emory alumnus and Methodist minister who came to the presidency with a background of teaching and preaching. A systematic administrator with a gift for fundraising, he served as president from 1902 to 1915, longer than any of his predecessors, and oversaw construction of a new science building, dormitory, gymnasium and a sanctuary for the campus church. An old-style southern orator noted for his eloquence and grandiose delivery, he preached conservative values leading to Christian salvation. Serving as pastor of prominent Georgia Methodist churches before and after his presidency, he was elected bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South in 1922, serving until his death in 1928. As such, he campaigned vigorously against a proposal to unify the southern and northern branches of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Key influences and factors in his life and career were his mentor and long-time colleague Warren A. Candler, also an Emory president and Methodist bishop; the transition of the Old South of his birth and its “Lost Cause” rhetoric to the New South of his maturity, as outlined by Atticus G. Haygood and Henry W. Grady; the pervasive influence of race in the life of the church, college and society of Dickey’s time; the Methodist Church and its commitment to higher education through the Wesleyan philosophy of melding knowledge with vital piety; and the coming of the Progressive Era and its resulting impact on higher education in general, and on Emory in particular, as it transformed from a small liberal arts college to a great research university.

  • Aubrey First United Methodist Church
    AUBREY FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH I. CONTEXT In 1846, Dr. George T. Key and family came from Missouri to Texas and settled in Collin County near the present town of Weston. In 1858, they and their relatives moved to Denton County and settled about one and one-half miles southwest of the present town of Aubrey. There they built log cabins for themselves and one which was used for a school house and church. It was in this log cabin that the first Methodist Church ever established in this section of Denton County was organized. The building was known as the Key School House. 1 The Aubrey Methodist Church was established in 1858. The First Baptist Church was established at Belew in 1875, and began worshipping in Aubrey in 1882.2 The Christian Church was established at Springhill in 1889 and began meeting in Aubrey in 1894. These three churches were the only churches in Aubrey up until at least 1936. The three churches worked closely together to minister to citizens of Aubrey and surrounding communities. In the early 1900’s the three churches held a community-wide Union Service to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.3 The three churches continued to work together to encourage every person in Aubrey to enroll in one of the three churches’ Sunday School educational program in 1936 4, and held a Co-Operative Revival Meeting for all three churches in July 1928. 5 II. OVERVIEW The Aubrey First United Methodist Church has been in existence in Aubrey for 150 years. It is one of the oldest churches to be established in Aubrey.
