  New Georgia Encyclopedia: Berry College
Founded by Martha Berry, the college was one of several "Berry Schools" that were established to provide poor children in the north Georgia mountains with the opportunity to earn an education.
Berry then established four day schools, but after these schools appeared ineffective she decided in 1902 to use the eighty-three acres that she had inherited from her father to found the Boys' Industrial School, a boarding school that she believed would keep students in a supportive environment.
Though a conservative Protestantism defined Berry's beliefs, the schools' religious teachings placed greater emphasis on service than on theology, as reflected by the adoption of the biblical admonition "not to be ministered unto but to minister" as their motto.
