RUSSELL'S CREEK BAPTIST ACADEMY (1908)
Principal W. G. Welborn

      This institution, located at Campbellsville, Ky., is a monument to the sacrifices and struggles of the Baptists of Russell Creek Association and other friends. The building was completed last summer and fitted with the most modern furniture and heating plant. The first session opened September 2, with an able faculty to aid its principal, and the success of the school thus far has exceeded the expectations of its friends. The winter term has a large number of new pupils added to the roll. The faculty are trying to make the atmosphere of the school refined and Christian and scholarly.

      The dormitory has been opened and it is intended as a delightful Christian home rather than a place to stay.

      All friends look with pride to the deserved success of their own institution.
           Campbellsville, Ky.
