Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wingate Junior College: Annual Catalogue, 1944-1945; Announcements, 1945-1946
In the early nineties there were only a very limited number Of public and private schools in all of Union County. In the region around Wingate for miles there was no school at all. Therefore, the establishment of a School by the Association, a school in 'which children from the primary grades up were taught Christian faith and Baptist doctrine, was a necessary as well as a wise and far-seeing venture.
At first a three-room building housed the. School, and in this Professor M. B. Dry laid the foundation for an institution that compares favorably with the best. In a few years the growth of the school demanded more room, and five rooms, including two society halls, were added. After some years of progress Professor B. Y. Tyner became principal and, under his direction the commodious administration building, later destroyed by fire, was erected. Each time the growth of the school called for any change in the building program the local community came loyally and liberally to the support of the school. Many loyal friends at a distance have stood by the institution.
