Cuttington University

Founded in 1889 as Cuttington College by the Episcopal Church of the United States (ECUSA), it is the oldest private, coeducational, four-year, degree-granting institution in sub-Saharan Africa.[1] In 1887, Robert Fulton Cutting, treasurer of the ECUSA, donated $5,000 to an Episcopalian bishop in Liberia for the establishment of a school for teaching Liberian children — regardless of ethnicity — about industry and agriculture.[3] The college has now reopened for the third time in its history (the second founding at its current location was in 1948), after a lengthy period of civil conflict.On February 5, 2004, the President of Cuttington, Dr. Henrique F. Tokpa met his son Captain Matthew J. Denkyan of the U.S. Army, who was assigned to Liberia as a military observer.They were part of an inspection team who toured the partially renovated facilities which had been damaged by looters during the war: Cuttington University is the oldest private, coeducational, four-year, degree-granting institution in sub-Saharan Africa.
