Lindsey Wilson ad, October 1922 2022-10-03 - Columbia, KY - Photo courtesy JIM. By JIM This ad for the Lindsey Wilson Training School appeared in the Adair County News a century ago this week -- early October, 1922. The new gymnasium under construction was part of Lindsey's move from Training School to Junior College status.

Bennett and his family, and another site had been selected for an on-campus dairy barn, one large enough to accommodate sixteen head of cattle. (Within days came a change of plans regarding the principal's home. Instead of putting up a new dwelling place, the Conference bought J.R. Garnett's house -- a "comparatively new residence" -- and planned to have it moved to "within a few yards of the school buildings." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
