There were only nine instructors, six full-time and three part-time, representing ten departments. They were French, Spanish, social science, English, history, mathematics, chemistry, music, library and athletics. Today the BCCC faculty numbers 81 full-time members and 131 part time in- structors, with departments ranging from business education to art to nursing to auto body to data processing to theatre. The enrollment in 1927 numbered ninety-two freshmen and twenty- three sophomores bringing the total enrollment to 115 compared to 2,139 freshmen and 991 sophomores enrolled in the fall semester of 1986.
