University of San Augustine was a college located in Texas on June 5, 1837.[1] It was located in San Augustine, Texas.[2] It was granted its charter in 1837.[3] Attendance rose to 150 students but dropped to 50.[4] As a result of a rivalry between itself and Wesleyan College, both school closed down.[5] In 1847 effort was made to merge both school and form the University of Eastern Texas. These efforts failed and all failed in 1851.[6]
