SAINT PAUL’S COLLEGE
------
Saint Paul’s College was established in 1883 by the
Venerable James Solomon Russell (1857-1935) as
and Episcopal mission school to serve the black
community of Southside Virginia. Born into slavery in
Mecklenburg County, Russell was educated at
Hampton Institute and trained for the clergy at Bishop
Payne Divinity School in Petersburg. His school
was chartered in 1888 and incorporated as Saint
Paul’s Normal and Industrial School in 1890. Classes
were help in the three-room Saul Building on the
campus. The charter was amended in 1941, changing
the school to a four-year, degree granting college in 1957.
