of our children and youth as vital to the preservation of our liberties,
and true religion as the foundation of all real virtue, and shall use our
utmost endeavors to promote these blessings in our common country."
In 1869,

by the Judge of Probate of Talladega County.
Swayne Hall has remained in service as the symbol and spirit of the
beginning of the College.
