now known as Samford University.

"Founded by a group of educational, economic, and religious leaders, the school was chartered in 1841 and opened its doors on January 3, 1842, in Marion, Alabama, as Howard College. It has survived two destructive fires and the partial paralysis of the Civil War and Reconstruction. In 1887 it was relocated in Birmingham, and in 1957 the institution was moved to its present campus."

Samford has an excellent history research room (with many Alabama materials not available anywhere else), and would probably have info on the student being researched.
