History of the L. C. Y. L. as ' HE L. C. Y. L. was established in 1886 by Professors li. li. Wleir and B. S. Foster. From a 5 very small beginning it has grown to be one of the leading schools of the South. The present enrollment Will reach two hundred and fifty for the year, In the year ISQ4 it became Cumberland University Annex. This continued until 1898 - when the relationship was dissolved and it became again the L. C. Y. L. From 1893 to 1899 the school was under the management of Professor Foster alone, Professor XN'eir having retired from active management and only taught. In 1899 Professor XN'eir obtained the complete control and it has been under his management since. The school has been coming forward very rapidly in the last few years and built up from an attendance of ninty-eight in 1899 to the present enrollment. The buildings have been added to from time to time until this coming summer there will be improvements made that Will make them equal to any in the South. It has always been a home school for girls and the aim from the very beginning has been this. The students are taught not only the facts and principles of Science and Art. but also the right way to live. The graduates ofthe school have gone out in life and taken places of responsibility and are to be found in many of thc schools of the South as teachers. The school has granted about two hundred and twenty degrees, and of this number more than thirty have become teachers in high schools and colleges. The future is very bright for the L. C. Y. L. and it will be a high honor to be a graduate from such a school. It is the wish of the management to make it a Character building school, and if this continues in the future as it has in the past it will have a record that any school ofthe land might well envy. The management in the future will be Professor Ii. E. XVeir, Managerg Mrs. E. E. XN'eir, Superintendent of the Home Departmentg and ll. H. XYeir, Registrar. 1
