NORTHEAST ALABAMASTATE JUNIOR COLLEGE 1965 Originally housed in the former home of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Dilbeck Northeast had somewhat humble beginnings. In the fall of 1965, while construction was being completed on the main campus, the administrative offices and the college's first classes were held in this house located at the corner of Highways 47 and 35. In one of his last accomplishments, former President, Dr. E.R. Knox, initiated the purchase of the house and the twelve surrounding acres making the college campus a total of 107 acres. In the fall of this year, the house and several outbuildings were removed and the campus boundary extended on the west to Highway 47. BUSINESS EDUCATION f , , BUILDING I ,-fn?
