Trevecka Castle, Wales Trevecca Mazarene College was born out of history like all human institutions. It was born in a formal way, November 5, 1901, in Nashville, Tennessee. But the gen- esis leading to that event began long before and far away. iTrevecca ' s history began in the Evangelical Revival in Britain, early in the eighteenth century. A village in Wales, named Trevecka played a significant role in the Revival, that eventually would bring the Tennessee Tre- vecca into being. The two Trevecca ' s were closely con- nected, and this connection was focused in the British founder of the Welsh Trevecca, the Countess of Hunting- don. Countess Huntingdon secured a lease on the historic castle at Trevecka in South Wales, and spent several weeks in preparing the disintegrated building for the college she had in mind. The castle had been built in 1 176 according to a date over the entrance. In 1575, a Rebecca Prosser had purchased and restored part of the original edifice. She called it Trevecka after herself. The village then took its name from the restored castle. Countess Huntingdon tried to bring together the evan- gelical forces in Britain in order to keep the Wesleyan and Cavlinistic traditions from dividing. It was this influential spirit, among other things, that inspired J.O. McClurkan to rename the school in Nashville that he had founded Trevecca, after Lady Huntingdon ' s College.

It was during the 1897 Centennial Celebration in Nash- ville, that the events were taking place that would eventu- ally form the Pentecostal Alliance (later to be the core of the First Nazarene Church) and the Bible Training School (later to become Trevecca Nazarene College). On Novemeber 5, 1901, the Bible Training School opened its doors. The school was not open to the public but to those who were seriously preparing for some definite Christian Service. The school continued to grow, due to McClurkan ' s enthusiasm for academic excellence as well as evangelistic zeal, until there was no longer a sufficient amount of room. The next location of the Pentecostal Mission was directly behind the Ryman Auditorium on Fourth Avenue in the Pentecostal Tabernacle. Over eighty students from fifteen denominations were en- rolled. The student body picture shows a mature and serious group of students, who treasured the privilege of getting an education. The McClurkan Family House J.O. McClurkan and his wife. Martha Francis 2
