Mrs. Isabel Doub C'oltrane
of Jamestown, widow of the
man who arrived in the moun
tains of Western North Caro
lina in the middle of the great
depression and propelled the
fledging institution into the
Twentieth Century, has just
presented an art collection of
more than ICO books and pub
lications to the College as a
memorial to Dr. Coltrane, who
died in 1960.
Dr. Robert A. Davis, presi
dent of Brevard College, says,
“It is entirely fitting that the
Art Building bear the name
of this first president of the
College. The sound work of
DR. COLTRANE
Dr. Coltrane during his 16
years as president laid the
foundation upon which our
strong academic program now
stands. The spirit of this out
standing educator still in
spire* the leadership of Bre
vard College as we seek to
combine knowledge with mo
ral and spiritual values.”
Dr. Coltrane arrived at Bre
vard with insufficient funds,
inadequate equipment and an
uncertain future facing the in
stitution, created in 1933 from
Weater and Rutherford Col
leges on the grounds of the old
Erevard Institute.
The nearly 400 students
used dishes and pans borrowed
from a summer camp, some
of them slept in townspeo
ples homes, and students and
faculty alike pitched in to
help build and maintain the
school during those early
years. '
Dr. Coltrane, the son of
Quakers who believed in sim
plicity in daily living and a
love of learning, instituted a
plan by which students could
earn college expenses by
working nine weeks per year
at anything from dishwashing
to farm labor.
He also attracted a facul
ty that worked, at times, for
less money than day laborers
were making; and, when he
retired, the 8150,000 physical
plant and about $60,000 en
dowment had grown to more
than $750,000 with a $500,000
endowment.
Brevard is a two year liberal
arts College related to the
United Methodist Church of
Western North Carolina. It’s
academic program prepares
students in the sciences, liberal
arts, fine arts and secretarial
fields.
