FOUNDED 1879. Rev. John R. Hague, superintendent.
This school was from 1830 until after the close of the Civil
War known as Randolph-Maeon College (white) of Vir¬
ginia. It enrolled 500 male students and graduated some of the
leading men of the South: Bishops, ministers, lawyers, phy¬
sicians. During the war both armies
occupied the buildings and campus
successively. After the close of the
civil struggle, the college failed and the
property was sold. In 1879, Dr.
Charles Cullis, of Boston, purchased
the property, with funds given by Dr.
Owen, of Morristown, N. J., and
established a Christian school for the
colored race. This was opened May,
1879, with 13 students. In 1908, there
were 12 teachers and 134 students.
The school owns about four hundred
and fifty acres of land. Immediately
following chapel exercises, the first period daily is given to
Bible study. The majority of the first-grade certificates among
the colored teachers in the county are held by graduates of
Boydton Institute. A leading lawyer of the county said that
there had never been one of the pupils of Boydton in the county
court since its establishment.
