ONE HUNDRED YEARS 3 The year 1935 marked the one-hundredth anniversary of the beginning of school life on our campus. In 1835 Spring Arbor was chosen by the Metho- dists as the site for a college. Four years later this school was moved to Al- bion, Michigan, where it still exists, now being known as Albion College. In 1844 the Baptist Church founded in Spring Arbor a theological seminary, soon known as Michigan Central College, the iirst co-educational institution in the Middle West. However, the campus was again left vacant in 1853 when the Baptists moved to Hillsdale, Michigan, the present home of Hills- dale College. Soon after pioneering preachers of the Free Methodist Church came to fMich- igan, the need of a denominational school in this region was realized. In 1873 the campus again took on new life when Spring Arbor Seminary was organ- ized by representatives of the Free Methodist Church. It has now been more than sixty years since this church school had its modest beginning in this quiet Michigan village. The passing years have seen growth and expansion until today our school includes a standard four-year High School, two years of junior College, a strong Bible School, a School of Music, and a Business Department. Many parts of the world have been touched and influenced for good by the thousands of young people who have studied here. And so ourcampus stands for a century of service and blessing. In present- ing this volume of The Echo, we desire to reflect the high moral and intel- lectual qualities which have characterized the work of the past ten decades.
