1916 The Nashville Bible School, now David Lipscomb, first opened its doors in October, 1891 with nine students enrolled. james A. Harding was superintendent and David and William Lipscomb composed the first faculty. In 1893 buildings were erected on prop- erty purchased on Spruce Street and the school continued in this location for ten years. In 1901 David Lipscomb deeded his farm on Granny White Pike as a permanent cam- pus, and the school moved to its new loca- tion in 1903. William Anderson followed Harding as president, but died after a brief time. E. A. Elam next served and was re- placed by H. Leo Boles in 1913.

PAST l 91 James A. Harding David Lipscomb Page 2 Because two men shared a dream . . . Because those two men dedicated themselves to the fulfillment of that dream . . . Because seventy-five years ago nine students believed in that dream enough to enroll in the Nash- ville Bible School . . . Because men and women, hundreds of them, still believing in that dream have come and gone . . . Because this school stands as a monument to those two men and our future stands as a testi- mony to their wisdom . . . David Lipscomb High School exists. Gratefully we dedicate this 1966 MIZPAH to David Lipscomb and james A. Harding for anticipating our needs and fulfilling our hopes. One of the early homes of the first Nashville Bible School was on Fillmore Street.

The bell tower, built as Zl monument to Charles R. Brewer by his former stu- dents, is a school landmark. its The death of David Lipscomb in 1917 led to a change in name from Nashville Bible School to David Lipscomb College. About this time the academic work was organized into a high school and a junior college. Both divisions enjoyed slow growth, and in 1927 the high school was accredited by the South- ern Association of Colleges and Schools. Disaster struck the school during Christ- mas holidays of 1929 when the boys' dormi- tory burned. Three months later the girls' dormitory also burned, and these losses, coupled with the problems created by the depression, threatened the existence of the school. Help came from many quarters, however, and the two dormitories were rebuilt, and the school was able to continue. Page 4 E. H. Ijams was resident ...
