  • Lighthouse on the Hill: the Bluefield
    The Bluefield College Story Lighthouse on the Hill: Retired Senior Professor of History By: Rev. David M. Armbrister Resiliency! This is a word that aptly fits the story of Bluefield College. Financial issues have beset the school since its beginning, often giv- ing those directly associated with its operation, as well as those simply interested in its welfare, concern about its continuance as an education- al institution. If there had not been men and women of strong faith and characterized by their willingness to make great sacrifices, the college might not exist today. There would be no eighty-fifth anniversary celebration in 2007. We can be thankful for that band of men who made that trip to Bristol, Virginia in a day when travel was not easy. The enthusiasm and drive that they took with them established a model that others would follow in supporting a Baptist college and, initially, a fitting school equivalent to a high school for southwest Vir- ginia. The courage and determination that ac- companied their great belief that the school was in God’s plan continued to uplift and guide the institution through its early years. These same qualities and convictions have enabled the school to overcome its problems and emerge as one of Virginia’s leading institutions of higher learning today. The author of this work has sought to present this marvelous story in a manner that will cap- ture the unique spirit of this school and those who have been associated with it through the years. His prayer is that the story will awaken a new understanding of the service that the col- lege has rendered in its eighty-five years and provide the groundwork on which it can go for- ward in the years ahead.

Page 1 of 4 The Hauenstein Center and GVSU Students Visit Springfield, IL March 16-18, 2007 Gleaves Whitney led members of his history class on U.S. presidents (HST 380) on a field trip to Springfield, IL, over St. Patrick's Day weekend, 2007, to learn more about Abraham Lincoln and the crises leading up to the Civil War. The first stop was at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum, which opened April 19, 2005, under Richard Norton Smith's direction. It is a state-of-the-art museum that packs a powerful emotional punch and makes history come alive. Abraham Lincoln, the nation's 16th president, arguably faced the greatest crises in American history: (1) the fracturing of the Union, (2) the outbreak of a civil war, and (3) the long-looming moral, political, economic, and social confrontation with slavery, which had reached a boiling point by 1861.
