The James Addison Jones Li
brary of Brevard College has
received a gift of $1,750 from
C Grier Beam of Cherryville
for the purchase of books. It
was given in appreciation of the
life and work of Cary Hoyt
Trowbridge, who served longer
than any other person in an ad
ministrative capacity in Bre
vard College and its forerunner
mstitutions.
Trowbridge and his wife
came from Missouri to Brevard
Institute in 1907 when it was
an indus'trial self-help school,
and was superintendent until
1923. During his administration
“Old Taylor,” later known as
West Hall, was brick - veneered
end modernized. Spencer Hall,
now Dunham Hall, was built
and many additions and im
provements were made in the
academic program.
He went to Weaver College,
Weaverville, as president in
1923. The depression made it
necessary for the Methodist
Church to consolidate its small
er colleges, and Weaver Col
lege was merged with Ruther
ford College to form Brevard
College on the campus of the
old Brevard Institute, which
closed the year before.
Mr. Trowbridge returned to
Brevard as dean of the new in
stitution. The following year
he was made vice president,
and he served in that capacity
and as teacher of chemistry
and physics until his retirement
in 1950. He and Mrs. Trow
bridge now live at the Metho
dist Home in Charlotte.
C. Grier Beam, a former stud
ent of Trowbridge at Weaver
College and a graduate of N.
C. State College, is president
of Carolina Freight Carriers As
sociation. Since he became a
member of the Board of Trus
tees of Brevard College in 1958,
he has given generously to the
development program of the
coUege. This latest gift permits
purchase of important basic
reference books needed espec
ially in the Chemistry and Phy
sics Department.
