History

Beginnings

The school was founded as High Point College in 1924, a joint venture between the Methodist Protestant Church and the citizens of High Point. When the college opened, the campus consisted of three buildings, attended by nine faculty members, and a student enrollment of 122. For the rap album, see 1924 (album). ... Seal of the Methodist Protestant Church. ...


The Methodist Protestant Church, which is now part of the United Methodist Church, first became active in educational pursuits in North Carolina in the middle of the 19th century. Of the various institutions which it sponsored, the most ambitious was Yadkin College, which operated in neighboring Davidson County from 1856 to 1895, but failed because of its isolated rural location. Yadkin College was an educational institution founded in 1857 by the Methodist Protestant Church. ... Davidson County is a county located in the state of North Carolina. ...


The statewide governing body of the Methodist Protestant Church finally voted to proceed in 1921.[4] Shortly afterwards it accepted an offer from the citizens of High Point to contribute 60 acres of land and $100,000 to the project.[5] The campus was designed by R. E. Mitchell of Washington, DC, assisted by Herbert Hunter of High Point, in the English Renaissance style. Though finishing touches were still being added to Roberts Hall, Women's Hall, and McCulloch Hall, classes began in September 1924.

High Point University presidents

The steadfast growth that characterized the birth of the College ended abruptly with the Great Depression. This period was difficult for the College in 1932-33, as faculty salaries were cut and expenses were sometimes bartered. Despite a $50,000 fund raising campaign, the College declared bankruptcy on June 15, 1934 and reorganization in an effort to reduce its indebtedness.[6] Reorganization enabled the College to move forward with business and expansion. By the end of the decade, the M. J. Wrenn library and the H. Albion Millis athletic stadium were constructed.[7] During World War II, the College hosted the 326th College Training Detachment of the U.S. Army Air Force. With the liquidation of debt, financial stability ultimately returned by 1945.[8]


Expansion and Growth

The postwar decades brought prospects for rapid growth and expansion. Under the influences of the G.I. Bill and the "baby boom" of the 1940s and 1950s, enrollment more than tripled, with a corresponding increase in staff. The College's programs received full accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1951.[9] Additional facilities were added in response to this growth in size and professionalism: four residence halls between 1953 and 1968, two classroom buildings, a second gymnasium, an auditorium, a chapel, and a campus center. By 1959, the school's endowment topped $1 million. A major campaign in the 1960s, entitled "The Golden Decade", exceeded $5 million in donations, and increased the endowment to almost $3 million.


Physical expansion of the campus continued with Smith Library in the spring of 1984, featuring a capacity three times the size of the former facility. The original men's residence hall was replaced in 1987 with a 221-resident facility. The "Aspire" campaign sought to raise $20 million in assets for the College and set the tone for the institution into the 1990s. By 1991, the endowment had increased to $24 million, eighth among institutions of higher learning in North Carolina.


Recent history

Smith Library

A 1990 report from a task force called "The National Commission on the Future of High Point College" outlined the blueprints for growth into the twenty first century. The report called for emphasis on teaching ethics in the curriculum, enhancing international relationships and exchanges, improving academic and dormitory spaces, and reconstituting college as a university.

On October 9, 1991, by the action of the Board of Trustees, the name of High Point College was changed to High Point University to reflect post-graduate degree programs. The campus saw expansion of the Millis Athletic/Convocation Center in late 1992 to provide facilities for convocations, physical education, athletic, and health activities. Other notable additions to the campus include an addition to the Haworth Hall of Science and the Hayworth Fine Arts Center, a domed structure with a Tuscan portico designed in consultation with London-based architect Christopher Smallwood.[10] By 2004, the University's endowment increased to $40 million.


In 2004, President Martinson became the university's first chancellor, an office he still holds despite his retirement from High Point University's presidency on January 1, 2005. Martinson's presidential successor, Nido Qubein, announced a US$60 million building and campus expansion campaign. This campaign was increased to $110 million after Qubein raised $20 million in his first few months of leadership. A Chancellor is the head of a university. ...

Notable Buildings

Roberts Hall, Administration Offices, circa 1923

At the University's founding, Washington, D.C. architect R. E. Mitchell partnered with local architect Herbert Hunter and adopted a Georgian Revival theme to provide an air of dignity and erudition for an institution in its infancy. Built in this theme, the most impressive building on the campus is Roberts Hall, among the first triad of buildings, which demonstrates the British Renaissance ideals that inspired Georgian architecture in its tall multi-tiered tower and imposing front portico of Corinthian columns. This 1923 building may have been loosely modeled on Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

Women’s Hall, also designed by Herbert Hunter in 1923, continues the architectural theme of Roberts Hall. In addition, Women’s Hall sports an elaborate cupola centered over the heart of the building. Wrenn Hall, originally constructed as the M. J. Wrenn Library, was completed in 1937 and progressed the Georgian dialog of early campus buildings with an elaborate elliptical transom window and a broken ogee frontispiece. These buildings constitute the ceremonial core of the campus and provide a backdrop for special events such as graduation.

Hayworth Fine Arts Center

Breaking free of the Georgian theme, architect Leon Schute contributed a number of Modernist designs to the campus. The Horace S. Haworth Hall of Science opened in 1967 and featured a two-story masonry façade that was broken at regular intervals by concrete pilasters to provide the effect of a classical colonnade. This building has largely been covered by a neoclassical addition of 1999. Schute was also the designer of the Slane University Center (formerly the McPherson Campus Center) in 1972 that continued modernist themes for which he was well known. In 1993, Montlieu Avenue, a thoroughfare that cut through the center of the campus, was closed to traffic and dedicated as the Kester International Promenade (originally known as the "Greensward"), an open commons that unites the campus with green-space.

Recent additions to the campus have revisited historically inspired architecture, including the Hayworth Fine Arts Center, a domed structure with a Tuscan portico designed in consultation with London-based architect Christopher Smallwood. This is Smallwood’s only project in the United States outside the northeastern states.


Rapid expansion of the campus in recent years includes the addition of several new buildings, notably Norton Hall, the Blessing Residential Hall, the Slane Student Life and Wellness Center, and the Jerry and Kitty Steele Sports Center.

The Kester International Promenade displays flags representing an international, diverse student body.
