Yadkin College

It was located in rural Davidson County, North Carolina and named for the nearby Yadkin River.

High Point University serves as the successor to Yadkin College.

The founders hoped the rural setting would prevent the "sinfulness" often displayed by college students.

The rise of public high schools after the turn of the 20th century led to the closing of the Institute in 1924.
