Saint Paul's College
Saint Paul's College was founded in 1888 by James Solomon Russell, founder and first principal of the Saint Paul Normal and Industrial School.
By act of the General Assembly of Virginia, on March 4, 1890, the school was incorporated as the Saint Paul Normal and Industrial School, and with the name it was given a perpetual succession and common seal.
A collegiate department of teacher training was started in 1922 and was accredited by the Virginia State Board of Education in 1926. As a result of this development, a large percentage of the teachers in the elementary and secondary schools of Virginia and the neighboring states of North Carolina and Maryland are graduates of Saint Paul's.
The charter was amended on December 30, 1941, the authority to grant degrees based on a four year program was granted, and the name of the institution was changed to Saint Paul's Polytechnic Institute. Degree programs leading to the Bachelor of Science and the Bachelor of Science in Education were started in September 1942. On February 27, 1957, the name of the institution was changed from Saint Paul's Polytechnic Institute to Saint Paul's College.
The College holds membership in the American Council on Education, the Association of American Colleges, The Association of Episcopal Colleges, the Association of Virginia Colleges, the Council of Independent Colleges, the Eastern Association of Colleges, the National Association for Equal Opportunity, the Union of Black Episcopalians, The United Negro College Fund, and other organizations.
