| Biographical note | Neuse Forest, as it was called in official reports, operated from ca. 1926-1933 in New Bern, N.C. During this period, its primary function was that of an institutional summer school for Wake Forest College (1925-1927) and then for Atlantic Christian College (1928-1933). The school began operation of independent classes in September of 1928 when it became Neuse Forest Junior College. As a junior college, it operated a basic two-year curriculum and offered courses such as botany, zoology, English, and mathematics. |
