I used Wittenberg as it is my alma mater and Ohio State because I attended grad school there. My primary point was that a lot of these schools were not admitting Black students which facilitated the birth of HBCUs.

Taken from http://www.coe.ohio-state.edu/beverl.../pioneers.html

Wittenberg was founded in 1842 by the English Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Ohio. It is small, liberal arts university that focuses on preparing the student as a "whole person," emphasizing the student’s intellectual, spiritual, physical, and aesthetic self. Wittenberg’s first Black graduate was a man by the name of Broadwell Chin who graduated in 1879.
