Universitas Baylor: Perbedaan antara revisi

In 1851, Baylor's second president [[Rufus Columbus Burleson]] decided to separate the students by sex, making the Baylor Female College an independent and separate institution. Baylor University became an all-male institution. During this time, Baylor thrived as the only university west of the Mississippi offering instruction in law, mathematics, and medicine. At the time a Baylor education cost around $8–$15 per term for tuition. And many of the early leaders of the Republic of Texas, such as Sam Houston, would later send their children to Baylor to be educated. Some of those early students were [[Temple Lea Houston]], son of President [[Sam Houston]], a famous western gun-fighter and attorney; and [[Lawrence Sullivan "Sul" Ross]] famous Confederate General and later President of [[Texas A&M University]].

For the first half of the [[American Civil War]], the Baylor president was [[George Washington Baines]], maternal great-grandfather of the future [[President of the United States|U.S. President]], [[Lyndon B. Johnson|Lyndon Baines Johnson]]. He worked vigorously to sustain the university during the Civil War, when male students left their studies to enlist in the [[Confederate Army]]. Following the war, the city of Independence slowly declined, primarily caused by the rise of neighboring cities being serviced by the [[Santa Fe Railroad]]. Because Independence lacked a railroad line, university fathers began searching for a location to build a new campus.
