Dover Memorial Library cclebyating , . . OUR GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY Gardner-Webb College was charted in 1905 as Boiling Springs High School. It was built and supported by the Kings Mountain and Sandy Run Baptist Associations of Cleveland and Rutherford Counties. The school opened its doors for the admission of students in October, 1907, with Professor J. D. Huggins as principal. In 1912 the Gaston Association joined with the other two in the support of the school, and the .Memorial Building was completed in 1925. The high school became Boiling Springs Junior College in 1928, with J. Blaine Davis as its first president. Succeed- ing presidents have been Dr. Zeno Wall, the Reverend James L. Jenkins, . . C. Lo elace, Dr. George J. Burnett, the Reverend John R. Cantrell, and the present president. Dr. Philip Lo in Elliott. The big problem which faced the college until it became Gardner-Webb in 1942 was one of securing adequate support. In 1937, the .Memorial Building burned. In the early forties, the school was dragging on, but the people of North Carolina were not ready to see the college die. Former North Carolina Governor O. Ma.x Gardner got interested in the school, and in the summer of 1942, gave S10,000 for scholarships. During the ne.xt five years, Go ernor Gardner poured thousands and thousands of dol- lars into the college, which in 1942 was renamed to honor the Gardner and ' ebb families of Cleveland and Ruther- ford Counties.
