Sue Bennett College
Sue Bennett College was a private college in London, Kentucky which operated from 1897 through 1997. It was affiliated with the United Methodist Church. It began life as an elementary school and ended its days as a four-year college.
==History==
Sue Bennett was a nineteenth-century social activist, who longed to provide education opportunities to the low-income citizens of her Kentucky area. She and her sister, Isabel "Belle" Bennett, petitioned local businesses and organizations for support and were successful in obtaining a $20,000 grant from the women of the Methodist Parsonage Society and $20,000 in matching funds from local donors. With those funds in hand they began planning for the school. Sue died before the school opened its doors, but in 1897 Belle Bennett opened The Sue Bennett Memorial School in London, with elementary (and later, secondary) classes.
In 1922 the school became a junior college, and its name was changed to Sue Bennett College. In 1932 it received accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
A new president, Paul Bunnell, was elected in the fall of 1991 who added four new sports programs for the following season: football, men's soccer, women's volleyball and cross country.〔 The athletic programs, which were to be hosted off-campus, were projected to add 50 students to campus without increasing administrative costs, but the enrollment growth never came. Additionally, the new president pushed to begin a four-year business degree program. Other programs, such as social service, paralegal, nursing, secretarial services, law enforcement and education, were also proposed.
