  • The Early History of Transylvania University
    The Early History of Transylvania University An Archetype of Restoration Movement Institutions of Higher Education James M. Owston in partial fulfillment of LS 758 History and Development of Higher Education Administration Dr. Rudy Pauley Marshall University Graduate College November 19, 1998 Transylvania University 2 The Early History of Transylvania University An Archetype of Restoration Movement Institutions of Higher Education The Disciples of Christ or Restoration Movement has its genesis in the early part of the nineteenth century. As the movement moved westward, individuals and complete congregations of other religious persuasions aligned themselves with the new movement. As churches were established on the frontier, a need for grammar school, secondary and higher education followed. Many individuals seeing this need, established schools. In 1836, the Disciples higher educational mission began with what would eventually become Transylvania University. The early history of Transylvania is an archetype of the movement’s educational experiences. To fully understand the dynamics of the establishment of Transylvania University, it is necessary to understand the movement’s origin and growth. Four independent movements seeking New Testament simplicity of faith and practice are credited with the laying the foundation of the greater movement. These early leaders are as follows: James O'Kelly, Abner Jones and Elias Smith, Barton W. Stone, and Thomas and Alexander Campbell. The initial move to denominational independence occurred when, following a disagreement on church government, James O'Kelly separated from the Methodist- Episcopal church in 1793. Preferring a congregational government, he formed what was originally known as the Republican Methodists. Located in Virginia and North Carolina, this group of churches began using the name of “Christian” in 1794 (Jennings, 1919, pp.
