==History==
The Washington branch of the Bible Educational Association was established in 1906 at the home of Jesse and Rosetta C. Lawson. Kelly Miller was chosen to be the president. At the same time they established the Inter-Denominational Bible College and named Jesse Lawson as its president. Frelinghuysen University was founded in 1917 when the two organizations combined. It was named for New Jersey senator Frederick T. Frelinghuysen. He and Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts promoted civil rights during Reconstruction and was Secretary of State during the Chester A. Arthur administration. The school's mission was to provide academic, vocational and religious education for African American working-class adults. Its programs were held in private homes and businesses throughout Washington until 1921. The Goodwin House served as the school’s first permanent building from 1921 to 1927. It was sold so as to move into a larger facility. The school was accredited starting in 1927 and conferred degrees from then until 1937. After that time Frelinghuysen lost its accreditation and started to decline until it was dissolved in the 1950s.
