Message from the President Founded in 1866 as the oldest private institution of higher learning in Florida, Edward Waters College has a lush history of educating students to become future leaders of society. Since its inception, the College has attracted students from throughout the country, and abroad, by offering a rare trio of rich academic, cultural and spiritual experiences to shape its scholars into independent thinkers and impactful citizens of the world. In fact, as an alumnus of Edward Waters College, I can affirm the strong foundation that Edward Waters College provided me to rise as a leader, both personally and professionally. A holistic education is the cornerstone to expanding the capacity of one’s mind and soul. Rigorous academics, coupled with spiritual and social support, enable students to grow in and outside of the classroom. Furthermore, it instills not only the competency to solve the problems of an everevolving, globalized 21st Century economy, but also the passion to serve the underserved and to guide the misguided. Through the process of acquiring a holistic education at Edward Waters College, students have numerous opportunities to ignite their curiosity, foster new ideas, grow in their faith and give back to the community. As the 29th President, I am committed to growing Edward Waters College into an internationally recognized institution, renowned for its unique programs, research and student support systems. However, our most important goal is to produce graduates that will be noted for elevating the standards of professional excellence and servant leadership in order to contribute to the betterment of the world in which we live. Sincerely,
Nathaniel Glover, Jr. President

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 LieutenantGeneral 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-nine focused presidents, Edward Waters College was indeed “rebuilt.” In May of 2010, the College welcomed a Jacksonville native son and alumnus, Nathaniel Glover, as President who continues the work of his predecessors by focusing on educating students to be successful in the 21st Century global economy and ensuring that they matriculate in a safe environment. 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 As verified by Soul of America http://www.soulofamerica.com/colleges/jackv_waters.html 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.
