  • The University of Charleston is a private university in Charleston, West Virginia, United States of over 1,000 students. Locals usually refer to the school as "UC". The school was founded in 1888 as the Barboursville Seminary of the Southern Methodist Church. That church had lost control of the institution now known as Marshall University in nearby Huntington, West Virginia, during the Civil War. In 1901 it was renamed Morris Harvey College. Morris Harvey was an estimable gentleman of olde Virginia, an elected county sheriff before the Civil War, a Confederate soldier & partisan ranger during the Civil War, and elected sheriff again after the Civil War in West Virginia. Harvey went on to make a fortune speculating in coal property and other businesses. In 1935 the school moved to downtown Charleston and merged with Kanawha Junior College and affiliated with the Mason College of Fine Arts and Music. In 1940 after the Methodist reuinification the school became independent of the Methodist Church. Seven years later, the school moved to its present campus in the Kanawha City section of Charleston across the river from the State Capitol. In 1951, it purchased the Young-Noyes House as the home of the college president. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The college fell on hard economic times in the late 1970s and decided to strengthen its ties with the local community and rename itself the University of Charleston in 1978. UC's athletic teams, known as the Golden Eagles, compete in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in NCAA Division II. In 2003 the school resumed playing football after abolishing the sport in 1955. In 2005 it entered into a partnership with the local school board to refurbish the school board owned Laidley Field, which was renamed University of Charleston Stadium at Laidley Field. The University of Charleston Football team has won 28 games in the last four years since moving in to University of Charleston stadium. The football teams offense runs the Triple Gun Option invented by head coach Tony DeMeo. The defense affectionately uses the motto "Play Fast, Hit Hard!" Classes started August 2006 at UC's newly opened School of Pharmacy, headed by Dr. Richard Stull. The school is not related in any way with the much larger College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina. That school previously used the name "University of Charleston" for its graduate programs.
  • Die University of Charleston ist ein privates College in Charleston (West Virginia) mit ungefähr 1000 Schülern. Einheimische nennen die Universität oft "UC". Die Schule wurde 1888 am Barboursville Seminar von der Südlichen Evangelisch-Methodischen Kirche gegründet. Als die Kirche die Kontrolle über die Universität verlor, wurde Sie in Marshall University unbenannt. Marshall liegt in der Nähe des Huntington (West Virginia). Während des Amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs 1901 wurde sie zu Ehren Major Donorins in Morris Harvey College umbenannt. 1935 wurde die Schule nach Charleston Downtown verschoben, fusionierte mit dem Kanawha Junior College und wurde dem Mason College of Fine Arts and Music angeschlossen. 1942 wurde die Schule unabhängig von der Evangelisch-Methodischen Kirche. Fünf Jahre später, 1947, zog die Schule in ihre ursprüngliche Schulanlage im Stadtteil Kanawha City von Charleston zurück. Das College geriet in den wirtschaftlich harten Zeiten der 70er Jahre in eine Krise, in der über eine Verstaatlichung des Colleges nachgedacht wurde. Der Staat lehnte jedoch das Geschenk ab. Die Schule entschied darauf, ihre Beachtung in der Gemeinde zu erhöhen und benannte sich darum 1987 in Charleston University um. Die athletischen Teams von UC, bekannt als die Golden Eagles, spielen in der West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in der NCAA in der 2. Liga. Die Schule ist nicht mit dem Charleston's College in Charleston (South Carolina) verwandt.
