TIMELINE OF KSU HISTORY

1886 State Normal School for Colored Persons established by an act of the Kentucky General Assembly with Berea College alumnus John Henry Jackson elected as president. Jackson was the first president of the Kentucky Negro Education Association (KNEA), the representative body for Kentucky's black teachers and a lobbying group for educational issues.

1887 Constructed at a cost of $7,000, Recitation Hall—now named Jackson Hall in honor of the school's first president—was the first and now-oldest building on campus. Classes began there on October 11, with three teachers and 55 students enrolled.

1890 State Normal School for Colored Persons became a land-grant college and over the next seven years the departments of home economics, agriculture, mechanics were established. The school's first class of five students were graduated the same year.

1893 A high school was established.

1898 James Edward Givens becomes the school's second president. A Greenwood, Virginia native, Givens was a graduate of Harvard University. His presidency was marked by a significant increase in the school's land holdings, including the purchase of adjourning farmland which would prove critical in the future.

1900 James Shelton Hathaway becomes the school's third president. A former schoolteacher and newspaper publisher, Hathaway earned both A.B. and A.M. degrees from Berea College, and an M.D. from Louisville National Medical College. His presidency was marked by significant academic progress and facility improvement at the institution.

1902 School's name is changed to Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute.

1907 John Henry Jackson returns as president. During his second term as president, the physical plant was enlarged tenfold and additional land purchases were requested.

1908 Hume Hall was built and named in honor of Edgar Enoch Hume, a physician, legislator from Anderson County, Kentucky, and mayor of Frankfort, whose service to the school included political support of its founding and board of trustee service on the school's board for 17 years.

1909 Paul William Lawrence Jones established a football team, which began the school's first intercollegiate athletics. Born in 1878 at Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, Jones' more than two-decade-long career at the school began in 1907; he later became a professor of history and academic dean at the school. Having earned the nickname of "Paul" from classmates because of his early love of history and interest in John Paul Jones, he was a 1898 graduate of Kentucky Normal School for Colored Persons, where along with teaching and administrative duties, he also helped form and served as coach and manager of early baseball, football, and track teams at the school, which earned him the title of "Father of Athletics."

1910 James Shelton Hathaway returns as president.

1912 Green Pickney Russell becomes the school's sixth president. Born in Logan County, Kentucky and educated at Berea College (A.B.; A.M.) and at Wilberforce University (LL.D.), Russell was the first licensed African-American teacher in Lexington, Kentucky—where Russell Elementary School was named in his honor. During this tenure, the institution matured from a vocational school offering secondary education to a four-year college and gained modern fiscal support from the state legislature due to Russell's pursuance of larger instructional programs.

TIMELINE OF KSU HISTORY (continued)

1923 Francis Marion Wood becomes the school's seventh president. Having taught in various black schools in Kentucky, Wood worked as principal of Western High School in Paris, Kentucky 12 years before assuming the presidency of his alma mater. A 1901 graduate of the Normal School for Colored Persons where he received his B. PED, Wood later received an A.M. from the Hampton Institute. As the first and only alumnus to become president of Kentucky State, he is credited with moving the school toward true collegiate status.

1924 Green Pickney Russell returns as president.

1926 School's name is changed to Kentucky State Industrial College for Colored Persons.

1929 Rufus Ballard Atwood becomes the school's ninth president. A Kentucky native, Atwood entered Fisk University in 1915 before enlisting in World War I, gallantly serving with the Signal Corps of the all-black 92nd Division and being awarded the Bronze Star for bravery the day before the Armistice. Following his graduation from Fisk in 1920 with a bachelor's degree in biology, Atwood earned another undergraduate degree at Iowa State Agriculture and Mechanical College—now Iowa State University—in 1923. The same year, he accepted a position as professor of agriculture at Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College in Texas—now Prairie View A&M University—before accepting the presidency of Kentucky State College for Colored Persons at just 32 years old. His presidential tenure was marked by transforming the school into a college beyond name only. Having set high standards, Atwood secured the college's accreditation after a mere two years at its helm. In addition to securing campus improvements through the New Deal's Public Works Administration and the Julius Rosenwald Fund, Atwood continued his leadership to enhance both the intellectual and physical environment of Kentucky's only publicly-funded black college throughout his 33-year career as president. School awards its first Bachelor of Arts degrees.

Goodwin represented her boyfriend's club, A.P.B., a fraternity. After her marriage, Goodwin returned to college and earned her B.A. in mathematics from Kentucky State and her M.A. in education from the University of Kentucky. She was a math teacher at old Dunbar High School and Bryan Station High School in Lexington, Kentucky.

The sculptor of the statue is another Kentucky State alumnus and fellow member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Ed Hamilton, who is best known for his statue, Spirit of Freedom, an African-American Civil War Memorial in Washington D.C.

Added to these duties was direction of the Extension Program from 1975 to 2011, and the research program from 1985 to 2011. Despite moving nine times, the once-dormant Land Grant Program was resurrected under his leadership. Benson also created the Aquaculture Research Program, established the university's 300-acre research and demonstration farm, worked to renovate the historic Atwood building into the Atwood Research Facility, and directed efforts to build and design the Cooperative Extension Building. In the process of doing so, he revolutionized the agriculture research and education programs at Kentucky State University.

Brown has a Ph.D. in higher education from The Pennsylvania State University, a M.S. in education from the University of Kentucky, and a B.S. in elementary education from South Carolina State University.

Building its future on the four pillars of success—access, academics, agriculture and athletics—President Brown’s priorities include accreditation and accountability, responding to a shifting marketplace, academic alignment for sustainability, and fiscal health and vitality. In keeping with this vision, Brown founds the Atwood Institute for Race, Education, and the Democratic Ideal; its work is a tripartite mission to honor diverse experiences, dismantle negative stereotypes, and train emergent leaders.

Kentucky State conferred its first doctoral degrees with the inaugural graduating class of Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP).
