Montreat College Summary
The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.
Montreat College is a private, four year, liberal arts Christian college located in Montreat, North Carolina which is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church USA. In 1915, the General Assembly decreed “that the property of the Mountain Retreat Association be used for a Normal School and that the establishment of the school be referred to the Synods.” The Synods of Appalachia, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia elected trustees who met in Montreat on May 2, 1916, and elected Dr. Robert F. The Montreat Normal School, a four-year preparatory and two-year college combination, opened its first session in October 1916 with eight students.
