After losses caused by Civil War (1861-1865), it was succeeded 1878 by Southeast Texas Male and Female College, which attained enviable status, and enjoyed the financial support of citizens of Jasper before closing in 1910.
College properties, including a new building erected 1900, were deeded to the elementary and high schools of Jasper.
