History of the College

Edward Waters College is, distinctively, Florida’s oldest independent institution of higher

learning as well as the state’s first institution established for the education of African Americans.

Edward Waters College (EWC) began as an institution founded by blacks, for blacks. In 1865,

following the Civil War, the Reverend Charles H. Pearce, a presiding elder of the African

Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, was sent to Florida by Bishop Daniel Alexander Payne.

Observing the fast-paced social and political changes of the Reconstruction era, Rev. Pearce

immediately recognized the need for an education ministry, as no provision had yet been made

for the public education of Florida’s newly emancipated blacks. Assisted by the Reverend

William G. Steward, the first AME pastor in the state, Pearce began to raise funds to build a

school. This school, established in 1866, was to eventually evolve into Edward Waters College.

From the beginning, EWC was faced with both abject poverty and widespread illiteracy among

its constituents resulting from pre-war conditions of servitude and historical, legally enforced

non-schooling of African Americans. However, the school met the needs of its community by

offering courses at the elementary, high school, college, and seminary levels.

Construction of the first building began in October 1872 on ten acres of land in Live Oak.

Further support for this new educational institution came from numerous friends, including

railroad magnate General M.S. Littlefield, State Treasurer, Simon Conaber, and Lieutenant-

General William Gleason. In 1892, the school’s name was changed to Edward Waters College

in honor of the third Bishop of the AME Church.

In 1901, the City of Jacksonville was destroyed by fire and Edward Waters College was reduced

to ashes. In 1904, the Board of Trustees purchased the present site of the school on Kings Road

with the imperative from Bishop MB Salter that Edward Waters College must be rebuilt.

Under the continued visionary leadership and direction of great Bishops of the AME Church and

twenty-eight focused presidents, Edward Waters College was indeed “rebuilt.” In May of 2010,

the College welcomed a Jacksonville native son and alumnus, Mr. Nathaniel Glover, as

President. Mr. Glover continues the work of his predecessors by focusing on training students to

be successful in the 21st Century global economy and ensuring that they matriculate in a safe

environment.

In April 2018, the Board selected Dr. A. Zachary Faison, Jr.as the 30th President and CEO. At

age 37, Faison’s appointment made him the nation’s youngest sitting president and CEO of an

HBCU.

With a history beginning in the dark yet hopeful days of Reconstruction, today’s Edward Waters

College is living, thriving proof of the power of education and the resilience of deeply rooted

educational institutions. The College continues to experience the triumphs and challenges

characteristic of its rich history and the bold dynamic future to which it aims.

Historical Highlights

1865 Following the Civil War, the Reverend Charles H. Pearce, presiding

Elder of the AME Church, was sent to Florida to establish the African

Methodist Episcopal Church by Bishop Daniel Alexander Payne, the

Church’s sixth Bishop. Reverend Pearce observed the need for an

educated ministry for newly emancipated blacks in the State. Aided by

the Reverend William G. Steward, the first AME pastor in the State, he

raised funds to establish a school.

1866 The school was founded. Courses were first offered at the elementary,

high school, college, and seminary levels.

1870 Florida's Tallahassee Conference of the AME Church passed a resolution

to set aside church funds to expand the offerings of the school. The

Conference proceeded to name its educational organization the Brown

Theological Institute.

1872 The Brown Theological Institute was chartered by the state legislature in

1872. It then purchased ten acres of land in Live Oak where construction

of the first building was undertaken. Further support for the effort came

from numerous friends, including railroad magnate General M.S.

Littlefield, State Treasurer Simon Conaber, and Lieutenant-General

William Gleason. The name was changed to Brown University.

Financial difficulties arose from an embezzlement scheme, awarding both

school properties to creditors. Consequently, the school ceased to

function for a decade. There followed a series of name changes,

adjustments in program offerings, and eventually changed locations.

1883 The school reopened as the East Florida Conference High School and

later the East Florida Scientific and Divinity High School.

1892 The school’s name changed to Edward Waters College in honor of the

third bishop of the AME Church. Waters (1780-1847), a native of West

River, Missouri, was a licensed preacher in Baltimore, MD and was

consecrated as a bishop in 1836.

1901 The rebuilding process was interrupted by a fire that completely

destroyed the College and much of the city of Jacksonville. Then

followed several years in rented quarters.

1904 Edward Waters College acquired the present Kings Road site and began

to develop it under the leadership of Bishop M.B. Salter.

1912 - 1966 Substantial expansion occurred in 1912-1928, beginning with the

construction of Hurst Hall, a three-story dormitory for males. More

buildings followed, including the Centennial Building (constructed in

1916) and the B. F. Lee Theological Seminary (constructed 1925) which

now serves as the College's administration building. During the Great

Depression the high school, junior and senior years of the College were

discontinued as the organization assumed the role of a two-year junior

college.

Following

1930’s

The building program resumed with the construction of a cafeteria and

women's dormitory. The H. Y. Tookes Building was completed in 1945

and served as the central library until 1979, when the Centennial Building

was renovated for that purpose.

1955 The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools accredits Edward

Waters College as a junior college.

1958 The school expanded to offer senior college work.

By the

1960s

The college restored its four-year curriculum and granted the bachelor's

degree.

1979 SACS approved the school’s accreditation as a four-year college.

1985 The College grew to an average full-time enrollment of 650 students and

became the 43rd member of the United Negro College Fund.

2001 Football was reestablished after thirty four years. The Centennial

Building was refurbished with funding from the Jessie Ball Dupont

Foundation.

2004 Construction for the John Hurst Adams/Jimmy R. Jenkins Community

Sports and Music Center was scheduled for completion in spring 2006.
