Andrews University is a Seventh-day Adventist university in Berrien Springs, Michigan, United States. Founded in 1874 as Battle Creek College in Battle Creek, Michigan, it was the first higher education facility started by Seventh-day Adventists, and is the flagship university of the Seventh-day Adventist school system. (This Seventh-day Adventist 'Battle Creek College' should not be confused with Dr. Kellogg's 'Battle Creek College' founded in 1923 and operated until 1938.) Andrews University was founded as a small Seventh-day Adventist school called Battle Creek College in 1874. In 1901, the school moved from Battle Creek, Michigan to its current location in Berrien Springs. It is said that everything the school had was packed up in 16 boxcars and sent on its way. The school was renamed "Emmanuel Missionary College", or EMC for short. In the summer of 1901, Percy T. Magan, the director of the General Conference Education Department, reported on the choice of the name: The school continued to grow slowly through the early 20th century. In the 1940s, Nethery Hall, the current location of the College of Arts and Sciences, was built as the administration building.
