Summer School at Pineville.
Editor Chief:
Among other schools of the state
that are advertising summer sessions,
Louisiana College may be last but by
no means least. This, however, is
the first year that Louisiana College
has planned to run a regular sum-
ner school. AS a matter of fact,
Louisiana College is a school that is
not very widely known, especially
among non-Baptists This school has
only been in existance a comparative
ly few years. It has made progress
second to none, and is still on the up
ward climb. The summer session is
only one step of the ladder.
In 1905, there was only one brick
building. Today, it owns two-story
brick structure used as a girls dor
mitory and library, a three-story
brick building for the boys, a single
story brick building used for latch
en- and dining hall, two-story frame
building used as an auditorium and
class rooms, two eight-room frame
cottages used as self help club for
girls desiring to do their own cooking
and laundering. In 1905 there were
only a few ministerial students; to-
day there are about two hundred bows
and girls.
For convenience and quietness one
could not wish for better place to
go. The college campus is situated
one mile from Alexandria, just out
side the Pineville corporation. It is
far enough from town to be shut-off
from the busy noise of the city, vet,
close enough to be easily reached
over the L. R. & NJ, Rock Island, and
other railroads.
Any boy or girl desiring to be
we'll rounded citizen could not find in
the state a better place to take his
training than here at Louisiana Col
lege. This school offers one every
thing that would make him sym
metrically developed moral being.
intellectually, it offers such subjects
as are required Of any standard col
lege for bachelors degree. Physi-
cally, its students are fed equally as
we'll as any boarding students, they
are sheltered in equally rs good
houses as any other, and, it heartily
:o-operates in all forms of athletic
features. Morally, by example of it's
faculty and leading students, this
school encourages and practices such
habits as would make one a high class
American. And, spiritually, Louisi-
ana College practices everything that
Baptists stand for, yet, prohibits
none Of its students from worship
ping as they see best.
Any high school graduate, wishing
to do regular college work, may make
rs many rs two units towards his or
her 3. 4. degree during one summer
session. Any under graduate Of a
trigr scfTous, wishing tu work of some
high school subjects, may make two
credits in a summer. Or, any one
wishing to review high school sub
lects, preparatory for a teachers ex-
animation, may do that here. Any
work done here, no matter what form,
will be given the same credit as SINH
lar work done in any other school of
its kind in the state of Louisiana.
Listen, boys and girls of Louisiana,
if you have not made plans for your
summer work, write to President c..
Cottingham, Pineville, La, for a
catalogue Of the summer session be-
ginning June 8, 1920.
