DEDICATION Nearly seventy years ago, three Presbyterian ministers set out on a tour of exploration of the beautiful mountain country of eastern Kentucky, spurred by the concern of members of the Ebenezer Presby- tery for the educational and spiritual development of the people of this countryside. They found a body of sturdy and self-reliant men and v omen, many of them descendants of the pioneers who crossed the mountain ranges shortly after the American Revolution. The greatest need they found among the people of these hills was for a school, and it was largely due to their efforts, supported by the presbytery, that the Pikeville Collegiate Institute was opened in the fall of 1889. This changed the destiny of this area more than anything else that has happened here. The college has grown until it now more than fulfills the vision of its founders in meeting the educational and spiritual need of this once isolated mountain area. From a campus of three acres with one building, to one of twenty-two acres with more than nineteen buildings and a 1 ,000 acre farm; from a faculty of one, to a faculty of thirty-three; from a student body of three to one of more than 500; the college continues to expand its influences for God and country in these lovely hills and pleasant valleys peopled by some of the finest stock of men in these United States. Therefore, we, the students of Pikeville College, with grateful hearts and deep appreciation for our college, do humbly dedicate this record of our college year, the 1957 Highlander, to the memory of the three Presbyterian ministers. Dr. W. C. Condit, Dr. Samuel B. Alderson and Dr. James P. Hendricks, who chose Pikeville, Kentucky, as site for a college. SPEOALCOLlECTfOMS ALLARAUBRARV HKEVILLE COLLSee PIKEVILLE KV mmmmmmmm
