Comment: I am not placing a high burden of notability here since its a school from 2 centuries ago, but most of the GBOOK link I see are passing mention, and I don't think there is enough information available to make a whole article. Ca talk to me! 22:50, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
Donaldson Academy and Manual Labor School, Donaldson Military Academy
Donaldson Academy (1832 - ?) in Fayetteville, North Carolina was incorporated in 1833 by an act of the North Carolina General Assembly.[1][2]
Elijah Frink Rockwell taught at the school.[3]
History[edit]
The school was planned at Hay Mount, North Carolina near Fayetteville.[4] Manual labor was dropped after its second year.[5]
Simeon Colton served as its principal.[6] He was tried for heresy by the Presbytery over his teachings about marrying the sisters wives who died. Students attended the trial.[7][by whom?] In 1837 the school submitted a memorial to the general assembly seeking funding. A committee unanimously rejected the request instead recommending a state higher education agency be established and funds distributed to institutions throughout the state.[2]
Alumni[edit]
- Charles Manly Stedman[3][8]
- James Cameron MacRad, judge, law professor, and author[9]
