Birth of Berea College: A Story of Providence is a historical book written by John Almanza Rowley Rogers in 1902. The book tells the story of the founding of Berea College, a private liberal arts college located in Berea, Kentucky. The book begins by providing a brief history of the town of Berea and its early settlers. It then goes on to describe the vision of John G. Fee, a minister who believed in providing education to all, regardless of race or gender.The book details the challenges that Fee faced in his mission to establish a college that would be open to all, including the difficulties of raising funds and finding a suitable location. Despite these challenges, Fee persevered and in 1855, the first classes were held at Berea College.The book also highlights the role of the college in promoting racial and gender equality, particularly during the tumultuous years of the Civil War and Reconstruction. It describes the struggles and successes of the college in providing education to African American and female students in a time when such opportunities were rare.Overall, Birth of Berea College: A Story of Providence is a fascinating and inspiring account of the founding of one of the most important institutions of higher education in the United States. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of education, social justice, and the struggle for equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
