Biographical and Historical Note

William Louis Poteat was a College biology professor (1880-1905) and seventh president of Wake Forest College (1905-1927). He was born October 20, 1856, to Baptists James and Julia Poteat, a family in Yanceyville, N.C., who held enslaved people. His siblings Edwin McNeill Poteat and Ida Isabella Poteat both became instructors, at Furman University and Meredith College, respectively. In 1877, Poteat graduated from Wake Forest College. In 1883 he was made professor of biology at the College; in 1889, he earned a masters degree in education, also from Wake Forest. In addition to his studies at the College, Poteat went to the University of Berlin in 1888 and attended a course at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, in 1893.

As a College professor, Poteat was a strong advocate for evolution, arguing the theory was in line with Baptist canon. He was an active leader in Southern Progressivism and was fundamental in preventing legislation that would have not allowed evolution-based curriculum in North Carolina. He received public backlash, particularly from fellow Baptists, on this stance beginning in 1920 and had to defend his position at Wake Forest College. He was successful in his defense in 1925.

Poteat was active in a litany of other social, political, and religious groups, in many of which he held leadership roles. He was president of the North Carolina Conference for Social Service, Southern Baptist Education Association, North Carolina Anti-Saloon League, Council of Church Schools of the South, and the North Carolina Academy of Sciences, and was a member of the North Carolina Reconstruction Commission.

Later in his life, Poteat focused his evolutionary studies on the subject of eugenics. He publically lectured in favor of eugenics. Most notably, his 1921 speech "The Standard Man" stated the "African race" was inferior to both the Europeans and Athenians and called for "the feebleminded, the insane, the epileptic, the inebriate, the congenital defective of any type, and the victim of chronic contagious diseases [to be] denied the opportunity of perpetuating their kind to the inevitable deterioration of the race." This speech was repeated throughout the South, including by Poteat himself, and these views reached thousands of people. He believed that the State ought play an operative role in maintaining purity in society, and although he didn't introduce its legislation, Poteat was influential in the Eugenics Board of North Carolina's establishment in 1933.

Poteat married Emma James Purefoy in 1881, with whom he had three children: Hubert McNeill, William Morgan, and Helen Purefoy (Stallings). After suffering paralysis soon after he turned 81, Poteat passed away in his sleep on March 12, 1938, in Wake Forest, N.C.
