A Little Motor Journey to Wake Forest Baptist School
A Wake Forest visit describes Wake Forest College founded in 1834 by Rev. Samuel Wait and its campus on the Capital Highway near Raleigh.

It notes Dr. William Louis Poteat as current president and mentions Wake Forest’s Baptist influence and endowment, along with regional history and prominent families.
