In the late 1880s, a small brick schoolhouse was built in Nevada, Missouri

Virginia Alice Cottey, along with her sisters, had saved $3,000 and set out to

find a Midwest town to host their college. Though they had spent their

lives educating children, they intended to make an even greater impact on their

communities, providing women with superior education and opportunities.

That schoolhouse still stands today, as the center portion of Main Hall.
