Union College Union College is a descendant of old Augusta College, the first college west of the Allegheny Mountains. It was conceived in the mind of Mr. A. H. Harriet. It was built by a corporation formed in 1880. Union College received its name because it was made possible by the united efforts of the people of Barbourville, under the leadership of Mr. W. W. Sawyers. This corporation built the old Administration Building. There were but three teacherstograce the rostrum. In 1886 Union College was bought by the Kentucky Conference at the recommendation of Rev. S. F. Kelly. The first President under this new connection was Dr. Daniel Stevenson, under whose master hand it grew to be a College. In 1906 a stroke of lightning and a peal of thunder announced the destruction of the Administration Building, but out of the ruins rose another fairer than the first, our present school building. Oymnasium Our gymnasium is the newest and most popular building on the campus. It is still in its infancy and hasn ' t even been dedi- cated yet. This gym was a thing of the imagination for so long, we could hardly believe our eyes when it first came into being. It originated in the minds of some of those who love the college best, when it was thought barely possible. Since then it has grown gradually into existence. The first decisive step was taken when a body of students, led by Horace Barker, went before the school board and very eloquently pleaded for a gymnasium. This re- quest, very much to our astonishment, was granted and real plans for the building were begun. The financial side was the first con- sideration and after a lengthy campaign by students, town people and others interested in us. $55,000 was contributed. The gym was about a year in building and everybody on the campus watched eagerly every brick that was laid. At last in the fall of 1920 it was finished to the last detail, and now that we enjoy the fine swimming pool, ropes, rings and horses we can hardly realize what a long, hard struggle was necessary to bring it all to pass.
