Soule College : ウィキペディア英語版 | Soule College Soule College was an institution of higher learning in Dodge City, Kansas that operated from 1888 until 1903. The college advertised board for $2 per week and tuition for $24 per year.〔(Patterson's American education, Volume 2 ) by Homer L. Patterson, published 1905, American Educational Company (Chicago) pages 73-76〕 In the late nineteenth century, Asa Titus Soule, a native of Rochester, New York, made his fortune and reputation as the "Hop Bitters King" by peddling a patent medicine of Hop Bitters. Looking for a place to invest his newfound millions, Soule traveled west to Kansas. He initially invested in a scheme to build an irrigation ditch across western Kansas, but soon decided to invest in higher education. In 1886 Soule partially endowed a new Presbyterian college in Dodge City with $50,000 dollars, thus giving birth to Soule College. After the school closed, the property was eventually purchased by St. Mary of the Plains College, which closed in 1992. ==See also==
