Montreat-Anderson: A Classic College A Montreat Classic? What is a clas- sic? Books such as A Tale of Two Cit- ies and War and Peace are considered classics. Certain movies, entertainers, art, and music are also considered classic. Soft drinks such as Coca-Cola are now classic, and now even Wendy's makes hamburgers called The Big Classic.” With all these new classics,” how does one know what truly is classic? Looking back on the history of Montreat, one can see why it has been called classic. Montreat was founded in 1897 by Mr. John C. Collins. In October 1916, the college began as Montreat Normal School; it opened its first session with eight students. Since then the school has undergone many changes in name and structure, has withstood a terrible fire, and seen the completion of many new build- ings. The founders of the college pro- posed that their purpose was to teach the Biblical view of the nature of man and the meaning of life.” That original purpose, to give students a quality Christian education, has re- mained the same to this day. Montreat was built on the founda- tion of a changeless God, and He is the reason that it has withstood the test of time. Fads and Fashions have come and gone, but Montreat has be- come a classic. Pervis Thomas. Frankie Oates, and the entire M-AC student body attend chapel and convocation every week. Students take time out for devotions. The beautiful mountains are one thing that makes Montreat so special. Opening 3
