The splendid school edifice is the most costly ever erected in the county and is embosomed in a forest of lofty oaks that makes the campus as beautiful as the building is imposing. The building was completed in the summer of 1877. The stock com- pany that built it consisting of Samuel HANSBOROUGH, Henry, Samuel and William SPRIGG, Richard GAITHER, J. J. JEFFRIES and F. W. SOMMERS, obtained an act of incorporation from the Ky. Legislature in March of that year and the school opened on the first Monday of the following Sept. under President Rev. G. A. COLSON of the Salem Baptist Association. General W. F. PERRY was elected president the next year. He was a finished scholar and a fine instructor and in a high degree possess- ed of the faculty of arousing his pupils with an ambition to acquire knowledge. He remained at the head of the school for 11 years. In 1871 it was changed to a military school and for several years was conducted as such and became one of the most noted in Ky. Stu- dents from all the principal cities of the state and from many southern states were enrolled and graduated. In 1888 Profs. Ed WHITE and J. C. ELWOOD purchased the college and conducted it as a female school up to 1896 when W. B. GWYNN bought the property and it was again made a co-educational institution. It remained under his management until 1907 when the Baptist Educa- tional Association purchased it. Rev. J. B. HUNT, a Baptist minister and able educator is at present the president.
