It was named after Methodist bishop John Emory.[18] The college moved to Druid Hills after Asa Griggs Candler, a wealthy businessperson from the slave owning Magruder family, offered it money and land there.[19][20]

Among Protestant denominations, Methodists take first place in hospitals and colleges. Some of their one hundred colleges and universities have all but severed ties with the denominations, but others remain definitely Methodist: Syracuse, Boston, Emory, Duke, Drew, Denver, and Southern Methodist. The church operates 360 schools and institutions overseas. Methodists established Goodwill Industries in 1907 to help handicapped persons help themselves by repairing and selling old furniture and clothes. The United Methodist Church runs seventy-two hospitals in the United States.

A faithful supporter of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (MECS), Candler offered a gift of $1 million when the MECS expressed interest in expanding Emory College into a university and relocating it to Atlanta. Altogether, he gave $7 million to Emory, a staggering sum for the time.
