The Nineteen Twenty-seven Zenith College Song Words and Music by Dorothy Hoskins and Margaret Gurley In our hearts we ' ll hold the mem ' ry Of a place we love the best; O ' er it waves a purple banner, Emblem of its fearlessness. CHORUS We praise thy name, and thy honor true. They stand for loyalty and love; May yours be fame, that to you is due, For you we ' ll always fight. We want the right To uphold thy standard high; To give the best we have to thee, Mem ' ries of you we will cherish, H. P. C. When we ' re on the field of battle, When we strive for praise to thee; May our teams be undefeated, Ours the crown of victory. Page nine

The Nineteen Twenty-seven Zenith History oi High Point College IGH POINT COLLEGE had its beginning in the mind of Rev. J. F. McCulloch, a native of Guilford County, North Carolina, and a graduate of Adrian College, Adrian, Michigan. After his graduation, Dr. McCulloch taught for a few years and then returned to North Carolina with the conviction that the North Carolina Conference should establish within her borders a high-grade college. With this purpose in mind he attended the Annual Conference at LaGrange in 1893, and so well did he p resent his desire that a Committee on Ways and Means was appointed to investigate and if possible to provide means for building the college. But no sooner did this committee begin its work than it was found that the Church in North Carolina did not feel the need of such an institution. Whereupon, Dr. McCulloch set about to establish a Church paper in order that his views and all college propoganda might be put into the homes of the members of the Methodist Protestant Church. Our Church Record, the name of which was afterwards changed to The Methodist Protestant Herald, was established. A very desirable lot was purchased in Greensboro on South Elm Street, 30x150 feet, for $3,300.00, and a building was erected at a cost of about $4,500.00. Later additions to the building brought the total investment up to $1 1,381.00. So greatly has this property advanced in value that it is now regarded as worth between $75,000.00 and ?ioo,000.00. But it was not until after many years of agitation, personal solicita- tion and many disappointments that the college as an enterprise really began to appear. First, Mr. J. C. Roberts, of Kernersville, N. C, a loyal member of the Methodist Protestant Church, provided in his will a gift of $10,000.00, if the college should be ready to open by 1920; otherwise, the gift was to be used as an invested fund, the interest on which was to be used for educating worthy young men preparing for the ministry. The gift stimulated considerable interest and when the college was finally built the Administration building was named in honor of Mr. Roberts. It was at the Enfield Annual Conference in 1920 that the next im- portant step was taken. Dr. Andrews, then President of the Conference, recommended in his annual report that unless our people were willing to go forward in the erection of the college we should abandon the cherished hope. The conference was moved to appoint a College Committee, com- posed of Dr. Andrews, Rev. L. W. Gerringer, and Rev. J. E. Pritchard. Page ten
