Working with two professors, Rev. Alexander Cromwell and Professor Dr. Edward Wilmot Blyden, President Roberts opened the doors of Liberia College in February 1863 to seven students.<\/p>\n                                                                            <p>However, for most of the next 90 years, the college had to struggle to overcome numerous obstacles to maintain its existence and integrity. As the sovereignty of the Liberian State remained challenged, so did uncertainty about the survival of Liberia College. The college was forced to close its doors on at least three separate occasions during this period. The Liberian State and the college managed to survive; however, graduates were few, but the role that the leadership of the college played in Liberian society was significant, as were the contributions of its graduates.<\/p>\n                                                                            <p>Philanthropists, beginning with the Trustees of Donation for Education in Liberia, provided a welcome but limited resource for the college until the Tubman era (1943-71), when financial resources became available to the Liberia State, following the successful cultivation of rubber and the discovery of iron ore deposits in Liberia. Favorable prices for these commodities in the 1950s raised Liberian public sector revenues more than eightfold in a decade.<\/p>\n                                                                            <p>The effects on the larger society of the resulting favorable terms of trade monetized a hitherto barter economy, leading to phenomenal public sector growth. That growth resulted in higher demand in the public sector for managerial and technical labor. Further, the need for capacity in the technical positions established in the new sectors caused the Liberian Government to appreciate the need for higher education through a national university.<\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                <!-- Administration Section -->\n                                <div
