Fearless and Bold is derived from a number of sources, including earlier written histories, minutes from Trustee and Faculty meetings, diaries, memoirs, scrapbooks, student newspapers and yearbooks, and first-person interviews with senior alumni who shared memories of bygone years.

For the first 20 years of the college’s existence it was plagued with debt… always keeping the college afloat, sometimes on a wing and a prayer…Those pioneers were fearless and bold! 

It’s an excellent history that provides great insight into the magnitude and scope of our alma mater on its 140th anniversary.
