  3. Wiley College’s History • Wiley College was founded in 1873 in Marshall, Texas. At that time that was the first African American college in Texas. The institution was founded by Bishop Isaac Wiley of Methodist Episcopal Church and chartered by the Freedman’s Aid Society in 1882. The first person to ever be president was F. C. Moore. The current president who was elected in 2000 is Dr. Haywood L. Strickland.

  4. Notable Alumni • Henrietta Bell Wells was the first female on the debate team at Wiley College in Texas. • Thelma Dewitty graduated there in 1941 and she was the first African American to teach in Seattle Public Schools. • James L. Farmer Jr. graduated from Wiley College in 1938. He later was a U.S. civil rights leader.

  7. Major Events About This College Wiley College is the oldest college west of the Mississippi River. This college is very famous for its debate team. In 1935, Wiley College’s debate team beat the University of Southern California and Harvard University. This made the college very popular.

  8. Areas to Pursue I really like the college’s debate teams. I would find an interest in Culinary Arts. I would like that because I want to learn how to cook many foods and learn about them. Next, maybe I would like General Education so I could remember and learn new things about the subjects I like and strengthen in the subjects and areas I dislike.
