H00-N07 In March 1896 the first definite steps were taken at Spring Branch Church, Pitt County, North Carolina, to found a Free Will Baptist theological seminary in the South. In this meeting so much enthusiasm was manifested by many of the leading ministers and members that a stock company was organized. Ayden was selected as the site for this institution, and a building committee was appointed to take charge of the erection of one. In the early part of 1896, with Professor I. E. B. Davis as principal, the school opened for its first session. The Theological Department, for which the school was especial- ly constructed, did not operate until that fall, when Dr. T. E. Peden was elected principal of the school and teacher of the Theological Deparhnentl just as the anxiety of a new temporary home, the ex- citement of meeting potential friends, and the challenge of advanced study greeted these early students, we also meet these same challenges at Mount Olive junior College today. Young people naturally congregate for chats, snacks, and ' song fests, and pair off for dates. Through our studies we learn to treasure knowledge and to value the heritage which is ours. 1Based upon the Ayden Seminary Bulletin, 1912-1913. Free Will Baptist Seminary, Ayden, N.

The beginning of a new year brought many happy reunions on the campus, but the absence of many familiar faces struck a quiet note of sadness in the hearts of the re- turning students. Even Chee, the pet squirrel of the science lab, seems to be looking for still other old uc- quaintances as he welcomes Linda Cherry, David Cahoon, Ierry Elmore, George Bercaw, and Bruce Quinn back to school. is ' 'REA' Xl .71
