Kansas Christian College, located at Lincoln, Kan., was established in 1882, under the auspices of the Christian church. It was incorporated under the laws of Kansas in 1888, and has property valued at some $15,000. The main building is two stories in height and contains class rooms and laboratory. While the school is under the supervision of the Christian church it is non-sectarian. Five courses of study are provided: classical, scientific, normal, commercial and musical. Prof. O. B. Whitaker was the first president of the college. During the first ten years of its existence the growth of the college was rather slow, only 84 students being enrolled in 1893, but since then progress has been more satisfactory and the college is now one of the recognized and established denominational schools of the state.
