The first paragraph is factually inaccurate. Wayland was begun by the [American Baptist Home Mission Society] and merged with a separate school begun, I believe, in 1863 or 1864 by the NTI. I'm sure more will be discovered. What interest me are the hints of scandal involving Rev King and female students. I've not found more than whispers of that. Several, though.

history of schools for the colored population By United States Office of Education Published by Ayer Publishing, 1969 ISBN 0405019181, 9780405019180 208 pages The origins of Wayland are pretty complex. Dr. King began under different auspices, but his was the enduring effort. But Wayland began with general education efforts begun under ABHMS and eventual theological instruction under a Rev Gregory. The NTI school, proper, was run under Dr. Turney, who organized the NTI... this was a 3rd school of Baptist persuasion, but only loosely associated at the time with either Dr. King or ABHMS.
