'MQ n.- CL 'H g . . . , 'V Churchj and for sixty-two years labored in this section of Vir- , L4 P1219 ginia, going as far west as Charleston in the Kanawha Valley. 1 Among his earliest undertakings, and certainly among his I v X 2+s.414+'i most important achievements, was the establishment of Lewis- 5:2 burg Academy in the county seat of Greenbrier County, Virginia, at that time the A most important Virginia town west of the Alleghanies. Q This school must have opened its doors in 1808. The brick academy building ', l was erected about 1812, as is evidenced by the records of Greenbrier County fr l pu Mir lui 11 Court. A deed is on record in the clerk's office of said county, dated in 1812, which, in giving the boundaries of the lot conveyed, reads as follows: Beginning on Main Street at the corner of the lot on which the Brack Academy has recently been erected, and with said lot, etc. The 29th day of january, 1812, the legislature of the State of Virginia passed an act entitled: An actestablishing an Academy in the Town of Lewisburg, in the County of Greenbrier, and in this act certain gentlemen residing in Green- brier, Monroe, Botetourt, Bath, Giles, Kanawha, Mason, and Cabell Counties were appointed trustees. Thus it appears that at the start the purpose was to establish a school for the benefit of a large section of Virginia, and not just for local patronage. -, ' THE GREENBRIER OF TODAY In 1890, Greenbrier Military Academy was flourishing. With over 200 students enrolled, a disastrous tire destroyed the buildings. By 1896 the school was again gaining prominence as Lee Military Academy. In 1902, as Greenbrier Academy, it was given to the Presbytery of Greenbrier, and the Rev. M. L. Lacy, D. D., father of our own Miss Lena Lacy, was chosen President. Under Qhis leadership the school grew in prestige. Colonel H. B. Moore became President in 1906, and in 1920 the new Green- brier, a private school,opened by Colonel Moore and his brothers, opened its doors to the youth of America. For over 150 years Greenbrier has served the youth of America. Precious is ., ' W um' lg.. !Ilfl,'I!-rl! M ! l, of .gjo 80.
