Culver-Stockton College Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Culver-Stockton College is a private, residential, four-year, liberal arts college located in Canton, Missouri. Culver-Stockton College offers a liberal arts education with practical learning experiences. Culver-Stockton College was founded as Christian University in 1853 and is the oldest co-educational college west of the Mississippi River. The mission of Culver-Stockton College is to provide students of promise a superb education within an active learning community founded upon integrity and the best values of faith and the human spirit. 1, The Southern History Company, St. Louis, Mo., 1901) In 1853, the college’s founders were granted a charter by the State of Missouri to establish Christian University, in which classes began in 1855. Dr. James Shannon became the college’s first president the following year. Smith, the college reopened in 1865, but made little financial and physical progress until Dr. Carl Johann became president in 1902. The college changed its name in 1917 to reflect the generosity of two donors, Mary Culver and Robert Stockton. Stockton and Culver, both of St. Louis, played a vital role in the college’s history with generous donations for residence halls, a new gymnasium, and grants for faculty salaries. Stockton became a generous donor to the college, giving money to help repair the college after a fire, funds for cottages to house married students, funds for teachers’ salaries, money to eliminate Christian University’s debt and many other projects. Although Culver-Stockton, located “on the “Hill,” would have been safe from floodwaters if Canton’s levee had broken, college employees assisted in filling and stacking sandbags for the town’s levee. Twenty four presidents have served Christian University/Culver-Stockton College through the years. Shannon served as president of State College of Louisiana, Bacon College in Kentucky, and the University of Missouri before coming to Christian University in August 1856. During his years at Goucher, he coordinated college strategic planning, was the administrative liaison to the Board of Trustees, and established a 40-member national board of visitors. Fox’s faculty experience includes an appointment at Howard University School of Divinity, service as associate professor of philosophy and history at Montgomery College in Maryland, and teaching history at Goucher. Henderson Hall The first building on Culver-Stockton Campus was Old Main, today known as Henderson Hall. The College collected $8,000 insurance and salvaged $4,000 worth of stone and brick from the old building. He was instrumental in the founding of Eureka College and Columbia College in addition to Culver-Stockton. The dome on Henderson Hall continues to be an important symbol of the College to this day. Henderson Hall originally housed science laboratories, men’s and women’s gymnasiums, a museum, a dining room, a “commercial” department, library, administrative offices, classrooms, an assembly hall that seated about 600 with a rolling door at the rear that could be opened to add 400 more spectators, and three meeting rooms for student groups. Johnson Hall Johnson Hall was built in 1912 as Culver-Stockton Hall as a “co-educational” residence hall with 44 men living on one wing and 44 women on the other. Carl Johann Memorial Library The college library had been housed in Henderson Hall before discussion began in 1937 about a separate building. The building was named after Carl Johann, an important early college president. Voluntary chapel service continued reflecting the historic affiliation with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the mission of the college. In 1970 the college began planning the new Gladys Crown Student Center named for the wife of Col. Culver Gymnasium, built in 1925, was named for the Herrick Foundation which contributed funds toward the building. A center for business and art, the building features classrooms and seminar rooms, a 125-seat auditorium, five art studios, a photography darkroom, a general computer lab and a graphic arts lab, and the Mabee Art Gallery, located in a two-story gallery that hosts several professional art exhibitions are planned annually as well as faculty and student art shows. Science Center Opened for classes in 2002, the Science Center is Culver-Stockton College’s newest academic building. Culver-Stockton College offers bachelor’s degrees in 27 different fields of study as well as an online degree-completion program for adults, called Connected Campus. Culver-Stockton also partners with the Blessing-Rieman College of Nursing in Quincy, Ill., just across the river, to offer a four-year nursing degree. Culver-Stockton includes a thriving Division of Fine Arts, with degree programs in art, arts management, music, theatre, and musical theatre. Culver-Stockton is one of only two colleges to offer an arts management degree, which combines courses in fine arts, business, and communications. Partnering with the Blessing-Rieman College of Nursing, Culver-Stockton combines staff and faculty expertise, resources, and commitment of both campuses to offer a four-year program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. The baccalaureate degree is jointly conferred by Blessing-Rieman College of Nursing and Culver-Stockton College. Students generally spend their freshman and sophomore years attending class on the Culver-Stockton campus and their last two years at Blessing-Rieman in Quincy, Ill., although many students continue to live on the Canton campus. Culver-Stockton’s athletic teams are known as the Wildcats and compete in the Heart of America Athletic Conference, an affiliate of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). No Culver-Stockton College team has experienced more success over the past 10 years than the Wildcat baseball team. In addition, the Wildcats have captured six Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC) titles and two HAAC Tournament championships. The Wildcats, who finished third at the 1999 NAIA World Series and seventh at the 1998 national tournament, have had 28 All-HAAC first team selections, two HAAC Player of the Year and two Pitcher of the Year honorees. The Wildcats have three players currently playing professional baseball and have had three players chosen in the Major League draft. Wildcat players have been recognized nationally the past six years for their play, with 16 players being named All-American by Don Hansen’s National Football Gazette, while three players have been recognized by the NAIA as All-Americans. In addition, 37 players have been given all-conference honors by the Heart of America Athletic Conference, including eight first team performers. Over that span, the Wildcats have had 12 all-conference performers, four NAIA All-America selections and five players named NAIA All-America Scholar-Athletes. The Wildcats have defeated two teams ranked in the NAIA top five, as well as two NCAA Division II teams (Quincy University and Truman State University) over the past six seasons. In 2006, the Wildcats played in six spring tournaments, finishing in the top 10 in five of the six events. The men’s soccer program has produced 41 all-conference players, including 19 first team players. The women’s program has had nine players named to the all-conference team in its short history. The Lady Wildcats softball team have won four conference titles, five conference tournament titles, and made nine regional tournament appearances since 1993. Since 1993, the Lady Wildcats have produced 32 HAAC first team players, three conference player of the year winners and two conference pitcher of the year honors. In the past 14 seasons, the Lady Wildcats have averaged 33 wins per year and have recorded 30 or more wins in nine of those years. The Lady Wildcats volleyball team has had 23 winning seasons in the last 25 years. Since 1981 the Wildcats have finished lower than third-place in conference play only five times. Individually, Wildcat volleyball players have also done well within the Heart of America Athletic Conference. Wildcat volleyball players have also excelled in the classroom during the past 11 years as 28 players have been named NAIA Scholar-Athletes since 1994. With a record nine Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC) championships and two national tournament appearances, the women’s basketball program has garnered elite status among Midwestern colleges and universities. In their history, the Lady Wildcats have averaged more than 18 wins per season and have placed first or second in the conference a remarkable 13 times in 25 seasons. Lady Wildcat basketball players have been recognized by the conference and on the national level. In addition, four players have been named to the NAIA All-America team and over 27 players have been lauded NAIA All-America Scholar-Athlete honors. The college expects to field both men’s and women’s teams in both programs beginning in Fall 2007.
