- History & Memorable Moments
Abilene Christian University grew from an idea held by A. B. Barret and Charles Roberson to form a school in West Texas. The Church of Christ in Abilene agreed to back the project. J. W. Childers sold Barret land and a large house west of the town and lowered the price with the stipulation that the school would be named in his honor. Childers Classical Institute opened in the fall of 1906, with 25 students.[1]
On February 26th 2008 it was announced that all incoming freshman class will receive a free Apple iPhone or an iPod touch. This was the result of a study to find out the viability of iPhone and iPod for academic purposes.[1]
