This is a “Biennial Catalog” for 1902-1903 for Weaubleau Christian College at Weaubleau in Hickory County, Missouri.  John Whitaker was president of the school, which was operated un­der the auspices of the Christian Church.

 

Weaubleau Christian Institute was established in 1867, its cornerstone was laid in 1869, and the school opened in 1871.  The name was changed to Weaubleau Christian College around 1893.  The school closed for the last time in 1914.

 

This 20-page “Biennial Catalog” includes information for 1900-1902 and announcements for 1902-1903.  Trustees of the school were William R. Davies, J. P. Ware, T. J. Tucker, W. E. Crouch, T. Durnell, I. Wiggins, John Monroe, Joseph Whitaker, and S. W. Whitaker.  The faculty included J. Whitaker (President), W. D. Webber, Mrs. Lulu (Wilson) Whitaker, S. W. Whitaker, Martin C. Schricker, and J. B. Orr.  Located on a three-acre campus convenient to a branch of the St. Louis and San Francisco (“Frisco) Railroad, the school offered Bachelor of Science (“scientific course”) and Bachelor of Accounts (“commercial course”) degrees, plus a “Master’s Degree” after three years’ experience after graduation.  The catalog includes lists of students (pages 11-12) and alumni (pages 13-14), along with advertisements for area businesses.
