FROM AUCTION BLOCK
Search of Old Records Reveals
Interesting Facts in History Of
Historic Institution

MACON, Jan. 28.-How a college
which now needs one million dollars
to build and endow a new plant
adequate to care for the growing
educational demand being made up
on it was once sold at auction by the
sheriff because of lack Of support
has been revealed through study
of old records of Wesleyan College
here.
The auction occurred in 1914,
five years after the college ,waa
opened. Financial support for
such a novel enterprise as provid-
ing a college education for women
had proved insufficient and al
though students were plentiful
enough the institution found itself
without funds to carry on it's work
Then the sheriff stepped in and
sold the college, from the auction
block.
Fortunately for the future of the
college, the property was bought
by little group of men whose in
terest in higher education had been
aroused and they turned it over to
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
