College for Mountain People

College tor Mountain People
In any survey of the resources Of
community, made for the purpose
of further progress, the Educational
institutions should rightfully have a
large place. They are the power-houses
of industrial and social progress, be-
cause they determine the character
istics of the men and women who
live in the community.
Berea college is one of the insti-
tutions of Eastern Kentucky. Locat-
ed at the western edge of the noun
tains, it serves a population of three
million people included in the noun
tain section of seven states. 1t has
an equipment which renders 1t able
to be a means of great benefit to
this region.
Product of Humanitarianism
The College merits attention for
several reasons In the first place,
because of its origin and the things
for which it stands. Berea is the
product of a splendid humanitarian
spirit, and it has always enlisted the
support of those who wish to give
every one a chance to rise; it was
founded and maintained to help those
who most need help. The College had
its beginning in the anti-slavery senti-
