Presidents of Stillman College
Description
Samuel Burney Hay is considered to be the first president of Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, Ala., because it was under his tenure that the institution became a four-year college.
Hay was born in McAdenville, N.C. and was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in the Atlanta Presbytery in 1923, after receiving his theological training at Columbia Theological Seminary.
Hay came to Stillman in 1948 when it was a two-year college with 112 students and a faculty and staff of 16 people. When Hay resigned in 1965, the institution was a four-year college with 500 students and a faculty and staff of 50.
The college student center on the Stillman campus is named for Hay and a public housing complex in Tuscaloosa is called the Samuel B. Hay Court.
