[edit] History
Mattie Hoke founded Kansas Holiness Bible College in Hutchinson, Kansas 1905.[1] It was first supported by a local holiness congregation called Apostolic holiness Church,[2] then later by the Kansas and Nebraska District Churches of the Nazarene[3] under the name of Bresee Theological College.[4] In 1917, R. E. Dunham was president of Kansas Holiness College.[5] It came under the leadership of Olivet alumnus Sylvester T. Ludwig, also the general secretary for the Church of the Nazarene,[6] starting in 1927.[7][8] In 1940, its financial situation overwhelmed it and it closed to merge with Bethany-Peniel College, and Ludwig took the presidency there.[9]
The yearbook was called The Comet.[10]
[edit] Legacy
In 1966, Mid-America Nazarene College was formed in Olathe, Kansas.[11]
