Founded in 1912, the institution is currently headed by President Dr. Lester C. Newman.[1] HistoryAlthough formal instructional programs at Jarvis began on January 13, 1913, with an enrollment of twelve students, all in the elementary grades, the school began as early as 1904, when the Negro Disciples of Christ of Texas began to plan for a school for black youth. Major James Jarvis and his wife Ida Van Zandt Jarvis donated land upon which the school could be built; the family deeded 456 acres to the Christian Women's Board of Missions on the condition it be maintained as a school for blacks.[2] Jarvis opened its doors as Jarvis Christian Institute, modeled after the Southern Christian Institute located west of Jackson in Edwards, Mississippi.[3] Jarvis is the only historically black college which remains of the twelve founded by the Disciples of Christ Church.[4] Jarvis' first students were educated in the remains of an old logging camp and later in a cabin which became the school's first multi-purpose building.[5] 1910sThomas Buchanan Frost came to the school as superintendent in 1912. Mr. Charles Albert Berry joined him as the principal. In 1914, James Nelson Ervin became the first president of Jarvis, and served in that capacity until 1938. During the first year of Ervin's tenure, high school classes were added to the curriculum. It became one of the few places at the time at which blacks in East Texas could complete a high school education. Some college work was offered as early as 1916.[6] The executive committee of the National Women's Board voted in May, 1915, to appropriate $1,000 for a sawmill that was purchased and installed on campus. The sawmill was operated from the 1920s through the 1940s by male students in the summer. They cut wood for structures on campus and to fire furnaces and stoves used during winter months around campus. Most of the buildings on the Jarvis Campus built during the 1920s-1940s were made with wood from this mill. Most of those buildings burned.[5] 1920sIn 1927, junior college courses were integrated in to the curriculum. In 1928, the school incorporated as a college.[3] 1930sSenior College course offerings were introduced at Jarvis in 1937. The Emma Smith Building, used to house administration offices, was built in 1936 and is the only campus structure surviving from the Ervin presidency.[3] In 1938, Peter Clarence Washington began his tenure as the second president of Jarvis Christian College. High school work was eliminated from the curriculum the same year. In 1939, the state of Texas granted a formal charter to Jarvis Christian College.[3] 1940sDr. John B. Eubanks became Executive vice President of Jarvis in 1949 and is credited with introducing the general education program and helping the school earn recognition from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. This recognition came in 1950.[3] 1950sEubanks became the third President of Jarvis Christian College in 1951. U In 1953, Dr. Cleo Walter Blackburn, became college president.[3] 1960sBlackburn ensured an affiliation between Jarvis and Texas Christian University in 1964 that was renewed twice and terminated in 1976. In 1964, Agro-Industrial offerings were eliminated from curriculum. The Olin Library and Communication Center was opened to students in 1965. In 1966, Dr. Perpener became the fifth president of Jarvis and the first alumni appointed to the office. In 1966, Jarvis was granted membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Jarvis affiliated with the Texas Association of Developing Colleges, a six-college consortium of historically Black colleges the next year.In 1969, the Charles A. Meyer Science and Mathematics Center opened.[3] 1970sFour additional residence halls were opened on campus in the 1970s.[3] 2010sIn May 2017, it was announced that Jarvis Christian College will open a satellite campus in Dallas at the Southwest Center Mall beginning August 2017. Courses available are in criminal justice, business management, religion, data analytics, and cybersecurity.[7] AthleticsJarvis Christian teams, nicknamed athletically as the Bulldogs, are part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), primarily competing in the Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC).
