History
During the Baptist Convention of 1833 at Cartledge Creek Baptist Church in Rockingham, North Carolina, the founding of the Wake Forest Institute (later Wake Forest University) was ratified. Wake Forest University was established after the North Carolina Baptist State Convention purchased a 600-acre plantation (2.4 km km) from Dr. Calvin Jones in northern Raleigh (Wake County) called "Forest of Wake." The new school, designed to teach both Baptist and layman priests, was opened on February 3, 1834, as the Wake Forest Forest Worker Institute, so named because students and staff are required to spend half of every day doing grain work on the estate. Dr. Samuel Wait, a Baptist minister, was chosen as the "headmaster," the next president, from the institute.
Wake Forest College
In 1838, his name was changed to Wake Forest College, and the manual system was abandoned. The city that grows around the campus is called the city of Wake Forest. In 1862, during the American Civil War, schools were closed due to the disappearance of most students and some faculty to serve in the Confederate Army. The college reopened in 1866 and prospered over the next four decades under the leadership of Washington's Manly Wingate presidents, Thomas H. Pritchard, and Charles Taylor. In 1894, the School of Law was established, followed by the School of Medicine in 1902. The university held its first summer session in 1921. Lea Laboratory was built in 1887-1888, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
Prominent college figures in the early 20th century were Dr. William L. Poteat, a gifted biologist and first layman who was elected president in the history of college. "Dr. Billy" continues to promote growth, hire many outstanding professors, and expand the science curriculum. He also aroused upheaval among North Carolina Baptists with his strong support to teach the theory of evolution but ultimately received formal support from the Baptist State Convention for academic freedom on campus.
Move to Winston Salem
The School of Medicine moved to Winston-Salem (then the second largest city of North Carolina) in 1941 under the tutelage of Dean Coy Cornelius Carpenter, who guided the school through the transition from a two-year program to four years. The school later became the Gray Bowman School of Medicine. The following year, 1942, Wake Forest acknowledged the first female undergraduate student, after World War II dramatically spent a collection of male students.
In 1946, as a result of the great prize of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, the whole college agreed to move to Winston-Salem, a step completed for the beginning of the fall of 1956, under the leadership of Dr. Harold W Tribble. Charles and Mary Babcock (daughter of R. J. Reynolds) donated to campus about 350 hectares (1.4 km 2 ) from the fields and forests in "Reynolda," their land. From 1952 to 1956, fourteen new buildings were built on the new campus. These buildings are built in Georgian style. The old campus at Wake Forest was sold to the Baptist State Convention to establish Southeast Baptist Theological Seminary.
Desegregation
On April 27, 1962, the Wake Forest Board of Trustees chose to accept Edward Reynolds, who came from the African country of Ghana, as the first full-time black scholar at the school. This makes Wake Forest the first major private university in the South for desegregation. Reynolds, a transfer student from Shaw University, later became the first university black graduate in 1964, when he earned a bachelor's degree in history. Later, he went on to earn a master's degree at Ohio University and Yale Divinity School, and a Ph.D. in African History from the University of London. He became professor of history at the University of California, San Diego and author of several history books.
The postgraduate study program was inaugurated in 1961, and in 1967 the school became a fully accredited Wake Forest University. The Babcock Graduate School of Management, now known as the School of Business, was founded in 1969. The James R. Scales Fine Arts Center opened in 1979. In 1986, Wake Forest gained autonomy from the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina and established a fraternal relationship with that. The Middleton House and surrounding area of ​​5 hectares (2.0 ha) was replaced by a gift to Wake Forest by Philip Hanes and his wife Charlotte in 1992. The donation was completed in 2011.
The thirteenth President of Wake Forest is Nathan O. Hatch, former rector at Notre Dame University. Hatch was officially installed as president on October 20, 2005. He took office on 1 July 2005, replacing Thomas K. Hearn, Jr., who has retired after 22 years in power.
