Central College plans under new management in Pella
A January 26 1916 gathering of Reformed church leaders in Pella maps a cautious future for Central College. The board envisions a strong classical core with robust modern languages and a general Bible course for all students. The academy will continue, admit eighth grade entrants, and tuition will be reduced to 20 dollars per semester for college and 15 per semester for the academy. President Bailey will stay on for the next year while faculty details are finalized and a 200000 dollar endowment is pursued with a financial agent to be appointed.
