- Guadalupe College was a private Baptist college for African Americans in Seguin, Texas. It was established in 1884 and opened officially in 1887. Its founding was chiefly due to the efforts of William B. Ball, who later became its president. David Abner Jr. was president of Guadalupe College from 1891 to 1906, a 15-year tenure during which the college flourished and gained statewide recognition. At its height during his administration, the college had an enrollment of approximately 500 students. Guadalupe College offered a traditional liberal arts program based on classical courses, as well as an "academy" and grammar school, but comparatively little agricultural or trades-based education. It was recognized as a junior college by the Texas Department of Education in 1926 and briefly attained senior college status, from 1929 to 1931, before being adversely affected by the Great Depression. Guadalupe College's main building was destroyed by a fire in 1936 and the college became defunct in 1937 after a fundraising drive was cancelled. Numerous later attempts to reestablish the college were unsuccessful. (en)
