list COLLEGE
nv A Student)

The first Baptist school in Louisiana
was established at Mt. Lebanon. III
the year, 1885, The work was then
entirely academy work. The collegiate
department was organized in the year
1856, with a faculty OF six and ninety
Jour pupils.
The various railroads building
through North Louisiana had all miss
ed Mt. Lebanon, thus rendering the
college inaccessible. This and othes
causes created a removable sentiment.
The State Convention decided to locate
their Baptist College in Pineville.
In the fall OF 1906 Louisiana College
opened its first SESSION in Pineville.
Slowly the college has been growing
in number and strength up to the pres
cnt date. Though the campus was
once swept absolutely bare by FIRE.
she has now recovered from the de-
struction and is growing faster than
ever. The enrolment for this year is
little over three hundred. AT pres
cnt the faculty consists OF twenty
three specialists.
Louisiana college is not as old a.
some of the institutions OF the state,
and the student body is not as large as
some, but none Of the institutions ex-
cells her in quality. On the highest
part OF the campus sits an admin'stra-
ton building which excells all other
administration buildings in the state
The cost OF the building was $32S.OW
Louisiana College does its utmost to
| develop the students in all phases OF
life, physically. mentally, socially and
spiritually. Emphasis is laid upon
| them all, and none is carried to the
extreme.
The following courses are offered and
| all OF them are given the same recog'
milton by the State as il taken in the
| State University:
A four years course in Arts and
Sciences, leading to the degrees OF
Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor Of
Science.
A two years Pre-medical Course,
preparing for admission to class A
| medical colleges.
A two years Economics Course,
| leading to certificate and four
years course leading 10 a diploma.
Courses in Music leading to 2 certi.
fcate and to the degree Of Bachelor
Of Muse in Piano, Voice or Violin.
