Samford University is an private, coeducational, Baptist-affliated university located in Birmingham, Alabama.
Founded as Howard College in 1842, the school was renamed in the 1960s, in part to end any ambiguity concerning any relationship between it and Howard University in Washington, D.C. (there is none). However, the newer name tends to be associated in the minds of many with Stanford University in Palo Alto, California (also no relationship).
In 1951, the school acquired the Cumberland School of Law from Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee.
