History of Cottey College Featured in Series of Articles

BuffaloReflex.com published a couple of interesting articles as part of a series by Paul Johns exploring the history of Cottey College.  The first, "Alice Cottey and her women's college in the MOzarks," was published May 14, 2018 and provides background information on Alice Cottey and how she decided to start an educational institution in Nevada, MO.  

"The saga of Cottey College of Nevada, MO," followed two days later on May 16, 2018 and offers a number of incidents in the early history of the institution.

I will update this post when additional articles in the series are published.  In the interim, you can review several earlier College History Garden posts on Cottey College:
