OLD you The eyes of a nation were turned toward llars Hill on October 12, lQ32, when the monument pictured above was unveiled. Back in 1356, when the first college building was completed, Old Joel' was a young negro slave, belonging to the late 1112 VVoods Anderson, a leader in the community and chairman of the board of trustees. The board had given a note to the contractors in the sum of SI,5OU, balance on the building. The note fell due the board could not meet it, and the contractors levied on the young negro slave as security for the in- debtedness. sloe was taken to Asheville and placed in jail. The trustees worked frantically in an effort to sc- cure the money, yet several days elapsed before the sum was finally obtained and Joe was released from jail. Because his living body had been held as security for the college, Joe seemed to become a part of the institu- tion, and after slavery had been abolished he remained here with his friends. So highly was he esteemed by the college and community that last Founderls Day program was devoted to his memory. 1955
