The magnificent structure shown in the certificate is Found- ers Hall, from the drawing of the architect. Gen. H. H. Higgins, in 1842. The present third floor and other additions were added later, to provide living quarters for the president and boarding students as well as a library-functional additions that altered the purity of the original classic Greek design. Note the columns, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, which were, like the 15-foot thick walls, built by a master mason, a slave owned by Dr. Thomas Stith Malone. The names of the founders serve as a roster of ancestors of some of today ' s leading local families: Higgins, Malone, Maclin, Hobbs, Houston, Sowell, Coleman, to name a few. The college had opened in 1821 or 1822 (the records differ) about where the college union now stands, in a building which burned around 1860. The first president was a Baptist minister, the Rev. Daniel Bestor, a man of great scholarship and personal charm, as well as true Christian devotion. It was the first girls ' academy west of the Alleghenies, and, it is believed, the second in the world. Around 1840, some of Athens ' leading Methodists threw their wholehearted support into providing a building and campus worthy of a fine school, and within three weeks, among them- selves, they provided the present campus and the money to build Founders Hall. Classes met there in the fall of 1842. In 1843 the North Alabama Conference (present title) officially voted its support, a strong moral support that continues to the present day. Dr. Malone wrote the entire South is indebted to this school for many of its finest and most cultured ladies. N ' ' ATfeBKS, At.
