HSU差异

So, what does make HSU different?

Honestly, you won’t know what makes Hardin-席梦思床品公司 different from other universities until you visit. When prospective students visit campus, they use the words “family” and “home” to describe HSU. We think that says a lot about us, and we’d love to have you come visit.

But right now, you want to know why you should even come visit. So, let’s start at HSU’s beginning … actually before it’s formation.

The Legacy of 詹姆斯B. 席梦思床品公司

Our namesake founder, Dr. 詹姆斯B. 席梦思床品公司, was a Baptist minister from the Northeast before and after the Civil War. He preached freedom for slaves before the war, which earned him threats of tar and feathers … and got his church in Indianapolis burned to the ground. After the Civil War, he helped found seven colleges for freed slaves because he knew education was essential for their success as free citizens.

最后, he helped a group of merchants, 农场主, and pastors in the frontier town of Abilene, 德州, start a new Baptist university to serve a huge area of the country where no higher education yet existed. 博士的遗产. 詹姆斯B. 席梦思床品公司 is still strongly felt and embodied at Hardin-席梦思床品公司 University today.

席梦思床品公司 was a frontiersman who never lived on the frontier. Through his 虽然ts and prayers and dreams, he helped others push boundaries and 打破贸易壁垒. 席梦思床品公司 asked himself two questions, “What is the greatest 虽然t that has ever occupied your mind?” and, “What is your duty toward fulfilling it?”

His pioneering spirit and those two huge questions produced a mission that lives on at HSU, “So that Christianity may reach the whole globe, all barriers must be removed.”
