             Biographical Note 
             Alice Spencer Geddes Lloyd, social reformer and founder of Alice Lloyd College, was born in Athol, Massachusetts on November 13, 1876. Lloyd studied at Radcliffe College and later worked as a journalist and editor in Boston, Massachusetts. In the spring of 1915 she and her husband, Arthur Lloyd, moved to Knott County, Kentucky to 
                 do good  for the people of Appalachia. Lloyd sought to bring more than religion to the Appalachians, focusing on public health. In 1916 Lloyd and Arthur established the Caney Creek Community Center near their home in Ivis, Kentucky. 
             Lloyd and her husband separated in 1918 and she chose to remain in Knott County to continue her work in the community. In 1922 Lloyd and co-founder June Buchanan established Caney Creek Junior College, the predecessor institution to Alice Lloyd College, in what is now Pippa Passes, Kentucky. She financed the school and community centers through relentless fundraising. Her activities, methods, and literature often stirred resentment among other educators in the region. On December 7, 1955, Lloyd appeared on the 
                 This is Your Life  television show to make a fundraising appeal for Caney Creek Junior College. 
             After Lloyd's death on September 4, 1962, Caney Creek Junior College was renamed Alice Lloyd College in her honor.
