(I took that picture!)

Clark University was founded in 1887 by Jonas Clark "as the first all-graduate school in the United States. Until Clark instituted undergraduate programs in 1902, the university offered only Ph.D.-granting programs.  G. Stanley Hall, professor of psychology and pedagogy at Johns Hopkins University, is appointed the first president of the University"  

The first students (all male) started in 1989, the first female student was admitted in 1896, and the first African-American in 1909.   In 1900 the founder, died leaving an endowment for the founding of Clark College which started in 1902 and Carroll D. Wright, U.S. Commissioner of Labor, is the first president of the college.  The first undergraduate women didn't enroll until 1942.

In 1909  "programs celebrating Clark University's 20th anniversary bring eminent scholars to Clark, including Carl Jung and, of course, Sigmund Freud. It was Freud's only visit to America."

In 1910 "Professors George Blakeslee, hailed as one of the founders of the field of international relations, and G. Stanley Hall edit the first Journal of Race Relations, which later becomes the Journal of International Relations. It is the first scholarly journal dedicated to international relations."
