Wells Returns From Year Abroad at St Andrews University
Henry Wells, a former Ada High and East Central athlete now serving as a Baptist minister on a Rotary fellowship, has returned to Ada after completing his first year at St. Andrews University in Scotland. He described St Andrews as like stepping back to the 12th century and noted the town’s friendliness, local customs, and the predominance of the Church of Scotland. He plans a Ada summer visit before resuming studies for two more years, with St Andrews founded in 1411 and divided into Queen's College St Salvator's and St Mary's faculties.
