'''Dillard University''' is a [[Private university|private]], [[Historically black colleges and universities|historically black university]] in [[New Orleans|New Orleans, Louisiana]]. Founded in 1930 and incorporating earlier institutions founded as early as 1869 after the American Civil War, it is affiliated with the [[United Church of Christ]] and the [[United Methodist Church]].
== History ==
[[File:StraightUMain.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Photo of an early building on the Straight University campus]]
The history of Dillard University dates to 1869 and its founding predecessor institutions—[[Straight University]] (later renamed Straight College) and Union Normal School (which developed into [[New Orleans University]]).
=== Straight University ===
{{Main|Straight University}}
Responding to the post-[[American Civil War|Civil War]] need to educate newly freed African Americans in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the surrounding region, the [[American Missionary Association]] of the Congregational Church founded Straight University on June 12, 1868.
Straight University also offered professional training, including a law department from 1874 to 1886. Its graduates participated in local and national [[Reconstruction era of the United States|Reconstruction]] and post-Reconstruction era [[civil rights]] struggles.
Straight University was renamed Straight College in 1915, to better reflect the limitations of its curriculum.
=== Union Normal School/New Orleans University ===
{{Main|New Orleans University}}
The Union Normal School was established on July 8, 1868, by the [[Freedman's Aid Society]] of the Methodist Episcopal Church to train teachers. The Society also recruited teachers in the North to work in the South educating freedmen and their children.
[[File:New Orleans College.jpg|right|thumb|New Orleans College, c. 1920.]]
In addition to Straight University, the AMA helped found several other [[historically black colleges and universities]], such as Clark Atlanta University, Fisk University, Hampton University, Howard University (with Freedmen's Bureau), Huston-Tillotson University, LeMoyne-Owen College, Talladega College, and Tougaloo College. Straight University and Union Normal School later became known and developed as Straight College and [[New Orleans University]], respectively. Both schools offered education for elementary-level teachers, but quickly enlarged their curricula to include secondary, collegiate, and professional-level instruction.
New Orleans University operated a secondary school, [[Gilbert Academy]]. By the 1890s, the university offered professional medical training. It included a school of pharmacy, the Flint Medical College, and the Sarah Goodridge Hospital and Nurse Training School. After the medical college was closed in 1911, the [[Flint Goodridge Hospital]] emerged and continued nurse training.

Local Black and White leaders felt there was a need to develop a larger, more notable African-American institution of higher learning in New Orleans and the greater South. Due to economic hardships and rounds of negotiations between the two institutions, Straight College and New Orleans University chartered Dillard University on June 6, 1930.<ref>Bernard, Louise and Radiclani Clytus. ''Within These Walls: A Short History of Dillard University''. New Orleans: Dillard University, 1999. 10.</ref>
Named after [[James H. Dillard]],<ref>[http://www.blackpast.org/?q=aah/dillard-university-1869 "Dillard University"], Black Past</ref> the new university was created to "... offer a traditional liberal arts curriculum—rather than nonprofessional, vocational training" and emphasize a close engagement with the Black community through "various education extension programs, societies, and clubs."<ref>Bernard and Clytus. ''Within These Walls'' (1999), p. 11</ref> Its development was tempered by the [[Jim Crow era]]. Many local whites took issue with the possibility of a black president presiding over white faculty members. The increased numbers of African-American bus riders in the Gentilly area, as students started attending classes, disturbed some white residents. [[Edgar B. Stern Sr]], an influential and diplomatic member of Dillard's board of trustees, suggested [[Will W. Alexander]] as a compromise candidate for president. A white Southern preacher, he became Dillard's first acting president (1935–1936). His experience as the director of the [[Commission on Interracial Cooperation]] <!-- national, city, or state? -->proved valuable. Dillard University opened its doors in the fall of 1935, and was able to attract prominent scholars such as [[Horace Mann Bond]], psychology and education; Frederick Douglass Hall, music; [[Lawrence D. Reddick]], history; and [[St. Clair Drake]], sociology and anthropology.
=== Hurricane Katrina ===
In August 2005, the campus, not far from the lower [[levee]] breach of the [[London Avenue Canal]], suffered extensive flood damage in the aftermath of [[Hurricane Katrina]]. Nelson Hall was destroyed by a fire. A bus fire destroyed belongings of 37 students who were in the process of being evacuated.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.centenary.edu/news/2005/August/0018.html|title=Community Responds with Donations for Hurricane Evacuees from Dillard University at Centenary College|access-date=30 November 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081121232857/http://www.centenary.edu/news/2005/August/0018.html|archive-date=2008-11-21|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Site=D9&Date=20050828&Category=NEWS&ArtNo=828001&Ref=PH&Params=Itemnr=2|title=Hurricane Katrina Shelters Open|work=Shreveport Times|access-date=2010-10-11}}</ref>

Straight University was renamed Straight College in 1915, to better reflect the limitations of its curriculum.

-=== Union Normal School/New Orleans University ===
-{{Main|New Orleans University}}
-
-The Union Normal School was established on July 8, 1868, by the [[Freedman's Aid Society]] of the Methodist Episcopal Church to train teachers. The Society also recruited teachers in the North to work in the South educating freedmen and their children.

-[[File:New Orleans College.jpg|right|thumb|New Orleans College, c. 1920.]]
-
-In addition to Straight University, the AMA helped found several other [[historically black colleges and universities]], such as Clark Atlanta University, Fisk University, Hampton University, Howard University (with Freedmen's Bureau), Huston-Tillotson University, LeMoyne-Owen College, Talladega College, and Tougaloo College. Straight University and Union Normal School later became known and developed as Straight College and [[New Orleans University]], respectively. Both schools offered education for elementary-level teachers, but quickly enlarged their curricula to include secondary, collegiate, and professional-level instruction.
-
-New Orleans University operated a secondary school, [[Gilbert Academy]]. By the 1890s, the university offered professional medical training. It included a school of pharmacy, the Flint Medical College, and the Sarah Goodridge Hospital and Nurse Training School. After the medical college was closed in 1911, the [[Flint Goodridge Hospital]] emerged and continued nurse training.

-Local Black and White leaders felt there was a need to develop a larger, more notable African-American institution of higher learning in New Orleans and the greater South. Due to economic hardships and rounds of negotiations between the two institutions, Straight College and New Orleans University chartered Dillard University on June 6, 1930.<ref>Bernard, Louise and Radiclani Clytus. ''Within These Walls: A Short History of Dillard University''. New Orleans: Dillard University, 1999. 10.</ref>
-
-Named after [[James H. Dillard]],<ref>[http://www.blackpast.org/?q=aah/dillard-university-1869 "Dillard University"], Black Past</ref> the new university was created to "... offer a traditional liberal arts curriculum—rather than nonprofessional, vocational training" and emphasize a close engagement with the Black community through "various education extension programs, societies, and clubs."<ref>Bernard and Clytus. ''Within These Walls'' (1999), p. 11</ref> Its development was tempered by the [[Jim Crow era]]. Many local whites took issue with the possibility of a black president presiding over white faculty members. The increased numbers of African-American bus riders in the Gentilly area, as students started attending classes, disturbed some white residents. [[Edgar B. Stern Sr]], an influential and diplomatic member of Dillard's board of trustees, suggested [[Will W. Alexander]] as a compromise candidate for president. A white Southern preacher, he became Dillard's first acting president (1935–1936). His experience as the director of the [[Commission on Interracial Cooperation]] <!-- national, city, or state? -->proved valuable. Dillard University opened its doors in the fall of 1935, and was able to attract prominent scholars such as [[Horace Mann Bond]], psychology and education; Frederick Douglass Hall, music; [[Lawrence D. Reddick]], history; and [[St. Clair Drake]], sociology and anthropology.

-=== Hurricane Katrina ===
-In August 2005, the campus, not far from the lower [[levee]] breach of the [[London Avenue Canal]], suffered extensive flood damage in the aftermath of [[Hurricane Katrina]]. Nelson Hall was destroyed by a fire. A bus fire destroyed belongings of 37 students who were in the process of being evacuated.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.centenary.edu/news/2005/August/0018.html|title=Community Responds with Donations for Hurricane Evacuees from Dillard University at Centenary College|access-date=30 November 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081121232857/http://www.centenary.edu/news/2005/August/0018.html|archive-date=2008-11-21|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Site=D9&Date=20050828&Category=NEWS&ArtNo=828001&Ref=PH&Params=Itemnr=2|title=Hurricane Katrina Shelters Open|work=Shreveport Times|access-date=2010-10-11}}</ref>

-In spring 2006, the students of Dillard University took their classes at The New Orleans World Trade Center and The New Orleans Hilton Riverside Hotel. As is tradition, Dillard held graduation on the Rosa Freeman Keller Avenue of the Oaks in July 2006. Students returned to campus in September 2006.
