Editorials: Athens College deserves renewed life
The piece likens Athens College to a person saved from drowning and revived. It argues the State Board of Education should fold the college into its system, awaiting legislative approval possibly supported by Rep. Tommy Carter and Sen. Albert McDonald. If accepted, the college would be debt free and require a local $800,000 drive, which the editors believe Athens and the surrounding area can fund to keep the school alive.
