Swift Memorial College

Swift Memorial College was a private historically Black college established by the Presbyterian church that operated from 1883 to 1952, in Rogersville, Tennessee, United States. It was established after a state law ended access for African Americans to Maryville College. Like many other early HBCU's, the school curricula in the early years was focused on high school and normal school; later it operated as a junior college. It also served as a boarding school. It was later closed after desegregation.
