Abilene Christian University (ACU) is a private university located in Abilene, Texas, affiliated with Churches of Christ. ACU was founded in 1906, as Childers Classical Institute. Abilene Christian University's fall 2014 enrollment is 4,427 students of which 777 are graduate students. The number of students enrolled breaks down to 1,112 freshmen, 806 sophomores, 762 juniors, 892 seniors, 78 "non-traditional" students, and 777 graduate students.
Abilene Christian University grew from an idea held by A.B. Barret and Charles Roberson to form a school in West Texas. The Churches 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. It initially included a lower school starting in the seventh grade.
When Jesse P. Sewell became president of the institute in 1912, the school began using "Abilene Christian College" on all its printed material. In 1920, the school paid the Childers family $4,000 and formally changed the name.

It's the start of another amazing year in Wildcat country as we welcome a whole new class of Abilene Christian University freshmen. We had a little less sun and heat to contend with than in years past with more Move-In Crew volunteers helping out than ever. Just a few of the many reasons to say… It's a great time to be at ACU.

Quoting from Ecclesiastes and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Rick Atchley ('78) implored students attending Opening Assembly on Monday at Abilene Christian University to "start your race like you want it to end," by not focusing on what he considered the more "over-rated" parts of their young lives.

This semester I studied abroad in Oxford, England through Abilene Christian University. I had no idea what to expect and I still can't believe all that happened. I spent four and a half months in England and visited up to nine different countries. It was truly amazing not only because of what I saw but because of who I saw it with.

Abilene Christian University study abroad students visited Buenos Aires over the February 15-17 weekend and saw Casa Rosado (Eva Peron's house A.K.A. Evita) saw her statue and her tomb. We enjoyed the weekend and fed nearby pigeons in our spare time. (Look for a small bit of symbolism at the end of this video)
