George Bright donates father’s Campbellsville Junior College Grammar School Diploma By Drew Tucker, assistant editor

June 4, 1927, was a special day for Samuel Allen Bright, Jr.—he was receiving his diploma for graduating eighth grade from Campbellsville JJunior College. At that time, Campbellsville University was an elementary school, high school, and two-year college. “This diploma is from eighth grade, which qualified [the students] to go to high school,” George Bright, CU Board of Trustees member and son of Samuel, said. “In that day, if you graduated eighth grade you were considered to be pretty well educated.” Samuel attended CJC’s high school for a short time before his parents sent him to Illinois to work for the corn harvests and wheat harvests near Canada. Dr. Glen Taul, right, university archivist, shows George Bright his father’s grade school diploma. “Grandpa was a grammar school (CU Photo by Drew Tucker) teacher and saw the value of education up to a point,” said Bright. “He probably did not see the value of what he would Eventually, Samuel started doing Bright said he and his wife made a call ‘higher education.’” carpentry work at CU. gift to CU, and with that gift, the Bright- Bright said back in the late 1920s, “He did, on several occasions, talk Redmon (his wife’s maiden name) everything around Campbellsville was about it with me,” Bright said. “He was Commons was created.
