Provides a comprehensive history of Howard College, which in 1965 changed its name to Samford University. According to the author, the ‘idea’ of Howard College emanated from its founders’ firm commitment to orthodox Protestantism, the tenets of Scottish philosophy, the British Enlightenment’s emphasis on virtue, and the moral reforms of the age.
