![Souvenir Booklet Of Western Kentucky State Teachers College. [Contains 18 illustrations of Western Kentucky Teachers College that are connected together accordion-fold style and printed on both sides, contained within a full color illustrated sleeve with a flap and slit-lock] (Printed verso reads: "Bowling Green and the Western Kentucky State Teachers College, Bowling Green, a city of 15,000 population, in which the Western Teachers collge is located, may justly be called one of the most beautiful of the smaller cities of America. It is located in the hills at the head of navigation on Barren River. The city commands a panoramic view of rugged, wooden hills and fertile valleys seldom surpassed. It has twenty-five miles of asphalt streets, shaded by maple trees. Beautiful homes, splendid business houses, and fine public buildings adorn these streets. It has excellent public schools and fifteen churches of different denominations to which students and visitors are welcome. A system of parks and playgrounds is adequately maintained. A cultured and hospitable citizenship, the product of long-established institutions of higher learning, is its finest attainment. Bowling Green is rich in local and state history. It was an important center in the early settlement of the western part of the state. In the distressing days of the Civil War General Albert Sidney Johnston established headquarters here for the Confederate Army of the West. A battle was fought here. The city was for a short time the Confederate capital of Kentucky. A fort, begun by General Johnston in 1861 and later occupied and held by Union troops having among their commanders General Ben Harrison, afterwards President of the United States, is a highly valued and treasured memorial in the midst of the Teachers College., The Western Kentucky State Teachers College seeks to serve both the rural and the urban life of the Commonwealth. Its energies are dedicated to educational research as a basis for fundamental educational progress and to the dissemination of information through the class room, through discussions, and through publications., The College campus embraces an area of sixty acres. In addition to this, a farm of sixty-five acres, adjoining the campus, is maintained to provide instructional facilities in Agriculture. Other farm lands are maintained elsewhere for production purposes. College Heights, on which the college buildings are located, occupies an eminence overlooking the city of Bowling Green. To the north and west College Heights commands a view of the most beautiful valley to be found throughout the cavernous limestone regions of the state. The Barren Rivers hills in the distance lie north and west of this valley. The golden sunsets, seen from College Heights, fill this valley with a mellow flow that warms the heart of aspiring youth and weaves its golden strands into the fabric of his dreams and aspirations."
