History
In November
1866, shortly after the end of the Civil War, members of
The First Congregational Society of Washington considered
establishing a theological seminary for the education of
African-American clergymen. Within a few weeks, the concept
had expanded to include a provision for establishing a university.
Within two years, the University consisted of the Colleges
of Liberal Arts and Medicine. The new institution was named
for General Oliver O. Howard, Civil War hero, who was a
founder of the University and, at the time, Commissioner
of the Freedmen's Bureau.
The
University charter, as enacted by Congress and subsequently
approved by President Andrew Johnson on March 2, 1867, designated
Howard University as "a university for the education of
youth in the liberal arts and sciences."
In 1879,
Congress approved a special appropriation for the University.
The charter was amended in 1928 to authorize an annual federal
appropriation for construction, development, improvement
and maintenance of the University.
