Included in list of schools: Dick White College - Fayetteville, Tenn.

[Source: Minutes of the General Assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, 1890, page 33]

During the past session has enrolled 120 pupils from five or six States. The school is now in charge of J. M. Langstone, Jr., B.S. (Univ. of Tenn.) and C. T. Kirkpatrick, B.A. (Vanderbilt University), each of whom is an experience teacher and has had the advantage of a post-graduate course of university study. Mr. Kirkpatrick was formerly a student of Cumberland University. Under their management no degrees will be granted. It is their desire to prepare boys and girls thoroughly for the best universities, and not turn them into the world with a worthless degree attached to their names, with a mere smattering of knowledge and with the idea that they know all that is worth knowing. In the catalogue are printed indorsements of the course of study from the leading universities in the State. In connection with the school is a Primary Department in the charge of a successful teacher who has given great satisfaction during the past year. The Departments of Music and Elocution are in the hands of thoroughly qualified specialists. Especial attention is called to the improved facilities for accommodating pupils from a distance. The principals have made many improvements on the grounds and buildings during the year and are now prepared to receive in the college under their immediate control a limited number of boarding pupils at reasonable rates.

For catalogue and further information address the principals.
