Tracy to Mr. Sam Crockett who was then teaching extension classes in Wise. Following the sug- gestion a committee of men composed of Mr. W. A. Thompson, Mr. Fred Greear, Mr. K. P. Asbury, and Mr. M. M. Long met with Mr. Crockett to investigate the possibility of such an establishment. Obtaining the permission of Dr. G. B. Zehmer, Dean Extension and President Colgate W. Darden of the University, they met with the Gen- eral Assembly to get its approval of a branch. In January 1954, it consented and made a small appropriation to carry out this experimental program.

Lay offered the facilities of Wise and the building known as the County Poor Farm to the development of a college. In July 1954, the inmates of the home, originally built as a Detention Home for de- linquent girls in 1924, were transferred. Mr. Charles B. McElroy, local architect , directed the work which imme- diately began upon the building to suitably remodel it for ya school program. Mr. Crockett converses with Mrs. Tracy and Mrs. Thompson.
