Historical Sketch “The leaders are here.” With these words, in the early 1900s, Mrs. Alice Geddes Lloyd set off a new social force in Central Appalachia. Mrs. 4 Lloyd was born and reared in Massachusetts. She attended Radcliffe College and later worked as a reporter for the Boston Globe and edited the Cambridge Women’s Chronicle, the Cambridge Press, and the Wakefield Citizen and Banner. Then, in her thirties, she was stricken with an illness which left her frail and partially paralyzed. At the age of forty, she was encouraged to leave Boston and journey to Eastern Kentucky in hopes that the milder climate would aid her recuperation. Educational opportunities and basic social services were very limited in Eastern Kentucky when Mrs. Lloyd arrived at Ivis, on Troublesome Creek, in 1916. She moved to Caney Creek in 1917 at the urging of Abisha Johnson, who offered his land and help in establishing a place to educate community residents. Mrs. Lloyd recognized the tremendous need in this area and established the Caney Creek Community Center. The Center provided basic social services and education for children and young people. In 1919, Mrs. Lloyd was joined by June Buchanan, a volunteer from Syracuse, New York. June Buchanan immediately identified with Mrs. Lloyd’s purposes and assisted with the operation of the Center. As the Community Center grew, Mrs. Lloyd and June Buchanan used their resources to establish many schools throughout the mountains. In so doing, they saw a need for higher education in Eastern Kentucky. The region needed highly trained and unselfish leaders - doctors, ministers, businessmen, engineers, and teachers. Such professional people, they reasoned, would be of enormous service to the isolated mountain communities. This vision of training leaders for Appalachia generated the formation of Caney Junior College in 1923. From the earliest days, students and their families could ill afford to pay for an education. But they did provide what they could – farm products and their labor. A philosophy started that required every Caney student to work part-time, to help pay for their own education and to develop such qualities as dependability, initiative, and self-reliance. The tradition continues today. The founders considered character education to be paramount in developing the kind of leaders Appalachia needed. Moral and ethical training was considered to be important and was reflected in courses, chapels, and the Christian Forum - regular public meetings in which students were required to discuss ethical issues and also their own purposes and goals for life. Many books and articles in such publications as Reader’s Digest, Life and the New York Times have been written about the College and the success of its graduates. Caney graduates have received much 5 recognition for their service to the mountains. Among the leaders produced here have been prominent physicians, lawyers, congressmen, engineers, teachers, and ministers. Two alumni received the coveted Rockefeller Service Award for contributions to Eastern Kentucky. In 1962, after Mrs. Lloyd’s death, the College was renamed in her honor. Today, Alice Lloyd College continues as a private, independent, co-educational college operating on Christian principles and dedicated to training leaders for the mountains, a concept often referred to as Leadership Education. William S. Hayes became president in 1963 and served until 1977. Under his leadership, the College launched a capital improvement campaign, which included construction of a water treatment facility, three student residence halls, an administrative office building, a science building, and an athletic facility. Jerry C. Davis was appointed president in 1977. His eleven-year tenure was marked by the creation of an accredited four-year liberal arts college; the founding of The June Buchanan School (grades K-12); the expansion of a number of campus facilities, including a new library, classrooms, and a performing arts center; and the augmentation of campus programs, student enrollment, and the institutional endowment. In 1988, M. Fred Mullinax was named president. Campus expansion continued under President Mullinax’s direction with the construction of two student residence halls and a student center, enhancement of faculty salaries and benefits, recruitment of quality students, and enrichment of the College’s endowment. Timothy T. Siebert assumed the presidency in September 1995. He came to the College with seven years’ experience in development work. Dr. Siebert left the College in December 1998 to return to his home state of Missouri. Joseph Alan Stepp was named president in April 1999. He is the first native Appalachian to assume the president’s position at Alice Lloyd College. During President Stepp’s tenure, the endowment has increased over 98 percent, and over the past ten years, the College has spent roughly $12 million on 15 major construction/renovation projects (not counting various other improvements) and technology upgrades. Current projects in progress include the renovation of the main girls’ dormitory; major renovations to the Caney Cottage dormitory in Lexington, KY.; the construction of a Center for Entrepreneurship and Collaborative Learning; expanding recreational and athletic facilities; expanding the business program to include majors in entrepreneurship and accounting, 6 and a minor in entrepreneurship, and core concentrations in the business program. And, the College remains debt free. The June Buchanan School The June Buchanan School (JBS) is a private, college preparatory, co-educational school for grades K-12. JBS strives to recruit students who aspire to academic excellence and desire a learning environment operating on Christian principles. Classrooms are located in the Estelle Campbell Center for the Arts. JBS students utilize campus facilities such as the McGaw Library and Learning Resources Center, the Davis Student Center, Campbell Arts Center, campus recreational facilities, the Grady Nutt Athletic Center and campus food service. The June Buchanan School and Alice Lloyd College are the two primary components of the campus corporate entity, the Caney Creek Community Center, Inc., which was founded in 1917 to promote the spiritual, intellectual, social and physical welfare of young people from the mountains. The primary administrative officer of JBS is the Dean, who represents the interests of JBS students, faculty, staff and parents. Although The June Buchanan School shares some common historical and organizational features with the College, it is a thoroughly separate entity. JBS is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. It designs and maintains its own curriculum, hires its own faculty and staff, develops and maintains its own rules and policies, formulates its own budget, maintains its own admissions procedures and operates extracurricular sports programs under the auspices of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association. The Dean operates The School in compliance with Kentucky law and, where necessary, in accordance with guidelines established by the Education Professional Standards Board. Endowment Alice Lloyd College has over $28,198,004 in value of endowment and funds functioning as endowment. Campus Pippa Passes, located in Knott County, is about 150 miles east of Lexington, Kentucky, and 120 miles southwest of Huntington, West Virginia. The campus is about ten miles off Highway 80, between Hazard and Prestonsburg. Mountain ranges surrounding the College provide sensational beauty, especially in the spring and autumn. Outstanding recreational sites have been developed within a 50-mile radius of the College: Daniel Boone 7 National Forest, Buckhorn Lake and Park, Jenny Wiley and Kingdom Come State Parks, as well as several community parks. The Carr Fork Lake was completed and opened to the public in 1976. Located only twelve miles from the College, facilities are provided for boating, water skiing, fishing, swimming, and other types of outdoor recreation. The ALC campus, which occupies land on both sides of peaceful Caney Creek, is unique among institutions of higher learning. Steep wooded mountains rise from the creek and much of the 225-acre campus includes mountain slopes, with many buildings set into the hillsides. Some buildings are early student-built wood and stone structures. Most have been renovated to provide modern functional interiors. Other facilities are modern stone and wooden structures whose architecture blends harmoniously with the rest of the campus.
