Barclay College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Barclay College is a private, Religious Society of Friends (also known as Quaker) four-year college in Haviland, Kansas. The mission of Barclay College is to prepare students in a Bible-centered environment for effective Christian life, service and leadership. It is known for ministry degreees, but the school also offers other professional degree fields. Beginning in fall 2007, the college will offer full-tuition scholarships to students who enroll full time and pay to live in the residence halls.

History

In 1917, evangelist and teacher Scott T. Clark founded the Kansas Central Bible Training School on the site of Haviland Friends Academy, a Quaker high school in Haviland, Kansas. A two-year junior college course was added in 1925, and the name was changed in 1930 to Friends Bible College to more fully reflect the growing mission of the institution.

By 1968, the school's vision put an emphasis on the four-year institution, leading to closure of the high school program and an effort to secure necessary faculty and facilities. This effort received general recognition in 1975 with the granting of full accreditation by the Association for Biblical Higher Education. Barclay College adopted its current name in honor of the first Quaker theologian, Robert Barclay, on May 5, 1990.
