Cottey College is the development of an idea which found its place in the heart of the founder of the institution early in life; and toward which all the energies of her nature have been directed for the past twenty-six years. The college was founded in 1884 for the purpose of affording young ladies superior facili- ties for obtaining a thorough, practical, yet liberal education. It is the earnest endeavor of the president and faculty to secure a symmetrical development of the mental, moral, aesthetic, social and physical natures; to strengthen the pure and noble quali- ties, and to weaken and destroy evil "and unholy tendencies. Solid, practical knowledge, and thorough training must super- cede display, affectation and pretense. Realizing the great fact that God has called woman to a high and holy destiny, in that He has commissioned her to be a co-laborer with Himself in the great work of enlightening and saving the world, the prime object of this school is the adjustment of women to this, her natural and God-given relation. The present age demands a broad and full curriculum for the education of young women, since her abilities in intellectual pursuits are now recognized as equal to those of man.
