| The
Early Emory College Class Photograph Project consists of more than
1,110 still images dating from 1860-1911. The photographs document
the class members of Emory College in Oxford, Georgia, which was
founded in 1836. Prior to the start of the project, the original
albumen and silver gelatin photographs were hung in public areas
of historic Seney Hall, built in 1881, on the Oxford College campus
of Emory University. The Oxford College campus is the original Emory
College campus established in 1836 and the predecessor of Emory
University in Atlanta, Georgia.
Many Emory College graduates of this period came from well known
Atlanta or Southern families or went on to play significant roles
in the history of Emory University, the city of Atlanta, and the
region. Some notable examples include Warren Akin Candler, class
of 1875, President of Emory College from 1888-1898 and Bishop
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, from 1898-1935 and Hiram
Warner Hill, class of 1888 and Justice of the Supreme Court of
Georgia
