    Morehouse College is a private, all-male, historically black liberal arts college in Atlanta, Georgia. Located on a 61-acre (247,000 m²) campus, the college has an enrollment of 3,000 students and is one of four remaining all-male colleges in the United States. Along with Clark Atlanta University, Interdenominational Theological Center, Morehouse School of Medicine and nearby women’s college Spelman College, Morehouse is part of the Atlanta University Center. Morehouse’s sister school, Bennett College, is located in Greensboro, North Carolina. In 1890, Dr. George Sale became the seminary’s third president and in 1897, the school was renamed Atlanta Baptist College. In 1913, the school was again renamed Morehouse College in honor of Henry L. Morehouse entered into a cooperative agreement with Clark College and Spelman College in 1929 and later expanded the association to create the Atlanta University Center. Archer was named as the fifth president of the college in 1931 and selected the school colors, maroon and white, to reflect his own alma mater, Colgate University. Mays was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Bates College and received graduate degrees from the University of Chicago. Gloster established the Morehouse School of Medicine in 1975, which became independent from Morehouse College in 1981. The Morehouse College House of Funk Marching Band is known for their halftime performances which combine dance and marching with music from various genres, including rap, traditional marching band music, and pop music. Founded in 1911, the Morehouse College Glee Club has a long and impressive history and has performed at Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral, President Jimmy Carter’s inauguration, Super Bowl XXVIII, and the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. In 2005, Morehouse College became a member of the American Mock Trial Association. The school is one of only four competing teams to come from a historically black college and is also the only all-male team in the MTA. Graves Hall, named after the second president of Morehouse College, is an honors dormitory. When the college relocated to the West End area, student housing, classrooms, and administration offices were all contained within the building. Robert Hall was erected to be the first dormitory of the college. Hope Hall, named after John Hope, the fourth president of Morehouse College. Merrill Jr., a chairman of the college’s Board of Trustees, became the Chemistry building. Archer Hall, named after the fifth president of Morehouse College.

The gymnasium seats 1000 people and was used by the college’s basketball team before the Forbes Arena was built. Brawley Hall, named after Benjamin Griffith Brawley, it houses the college’s History, English, Language, Music, and Art departments. Also known as LRC (Learning Resource Center), the building holds the college archives and a computer lab. White Hall is a freshman dorm, named after the college’s founder. Mays Hall was named after the sixth president of Morehouse College, Benjamin Mays. Chivers Hall/Lane Hall is the cafeteria of the college. The Sadie Mays lounge, named for the wife of Dr. Mays, connects Mays Hall and Chivers Hall. Martin Luther King International Chapel/Gloster Hall was built in 1978 as the new auditorium and administration building for Morehouse College, replacing Sale and Harkness halls (Harkness is now a Clark Atlanta University structure.) King Chapel holds 2501 people. The building is also known as Bio-Chem from a plaque at the corridor stating that the building was built to house the Biology and Chemistry classrooms. The college was rated by The Wall Street Journal as #29 out of the top 50 “feeder schools” for elite graduate study, beating both Emory University and the University of California, Berkeley in a 2004 study. among its many prominent alumni, Morehouse is the only college in the nation to have a graduate honored with a federal holiday (See Martin Luther King Day).
