Lindsay Wilson had good ventilation in 1909

News account from 100 years ago says outlook was good for school

By Duane Bonifer, LWC Director of Public Relations

COLUMBIA, KY- As Lindsey Wilson College's 2009 fall semester begins on Wednesday, it's interesting to look back a century ago to see what was happening at the college.

The following item appeared in the Wednesday, Sept. 1, 1909, edition of the Adair County News. Readers will no doubt notice the school name was spelled "Lindsay Wilson." It was not until the early 1920s that "Lindsey Wilson" appeared consistently in publications and notices about the school.Thanks to LWC alumnus Jim Garner '73 for providing the news clipping:
The Lindsay Wilson school will open to-morrow and the prospects are good for fine attendance during the term. The management, Profs. Neilson & Moss, are better prepared than ever to accommodate pupils from a distance. There is more room for bedding and a furnace has been put in and the heat will be regular, making the building perfectly healthy. The ventilation is good, in fact pupils will be made as comfortable as they would be in their homes. Profs. Neilson & Moss are gentlemen of high character, and much learning, and their experience in teaching has gained for the Lindsay Wilson an enviable reputation. They will be assisted by a fine corps of instructors.
From the Adair County News, September 1, 1909
