Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shaw Bulletin, Vol. 4: Catalogue Number 1934-1935, Announcements for 1935-1936 Shaw University was founded in December 1865 when a theologi cal class was formed in the old Guion Hotel situated where the State Museum now stands. This class was formed by Dr. Henry Martin Tupper who was honorably discharged from the Union army after serving for three years as a private and as a chaplain. On October 10, 1865, Doctor Tupper settled in Raleigh with his bride, Mrs. Sarah B. Tupper, and in December organized the class which was to develop into Shaw University. Shortly after the formation -of the theological class, Dr. Tupper saw the need Of expansion of his activities. With $500 which he had saved while in the army, he purchased a lot at the corner of Blount and Cabarrus Streets and there erected a two-storied wooden structure. With the help Of a few faithful followers, he constructed this building from timber prepared from trees that they themselves had felled in the forests. The Raleigh Institute, as it was called, was one Of the largest strue tures of its kind in the city. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
