Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The White Heather, 1930
As years passed on the country prospered and grew; but time brought problems to these descendants of the gallant Scots. One serious problem was the question of an education for their children, with far from adequate means.
In I896, as if in answer to their call, Rev. Charles G. Vardell came to Red Springs and founded a little academy for girls in the heart of the Scotch settlements. Through his courage, faith, power, strong heart and sturdy perseverance, he established a school where daughters of these people might be trained. The beginning was made through the donation of the people of four thousand dollars and a few acres of land. The first building was erected and school begun. Day by day, their leader pushed on until the college grew, the faculty increased, more students came, and the buildings were more comfortable and well equipped.
