Dunwoody College of Technology, a private, non-profit, endowed institution of higher education, was founded in 1914. William Hood Dunwoody, a prominent Minneapolis businessman, left three million dollars in his will to establish the William Hood Dunwoody Industrial Institute. His purpose was to "provide for all time a place where youth without distinction on account of race, color or religious prejudice, may learn the useful trades and crafts, and thereby fit themselves for the better performance of life's duties." When his wife, Kate L. Dunwoody, died a year later in 1915, she left an additional trust to help sustain the new school.
