Fromitsbeginning,LindseyWilsonCollegehasdefineditsmissionintermsofservingtheeducationalneedsofsouth central Kentucky, a predominantly rural region with a legacy of cultural isolation and persistent economic and educational underachievement that, unfortunately, characterizes much of Appalachia. The College has struggledtofulfillitsmissioninspiteofchronicfinancialproblemsthathave,attimes,threateneditssurvival.Today,LindseyWilsonCollegehasnotonlysurvived,butthrivesasafinanciallysecureinstitutionwithagrowingreputationasaplaceofacademicexcellenceandspiritualintegritythatreflectstheMethodistdenomination’shistorical commitment to higher education. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that Lindsey Wilson College is an institution on the rise, with its best days lying ahead of it.
Lindsey Wilson College was founded in September 1903 as Lindsey Wilson Training School. The school was named in memory of Lindsey Wilson, the deceased nephew and stepson of Catherine Wilson of Louisville, Kentucky, who was an early benefactor of the school.
In its early years, Lindsey Wilson primarily served as a regional preparatory “feeder” school for Vanderbilt University,whichwasMethodism’sleadinginstitutionsofhighereducationintheSouthduringthefirstdecadeofthe twentieth century. In 1923, Lindsey Wilson achieved junior college status.
Defying improbable odds and a near-miss closure vote by the Louisville Annual Conference of the Methodist Churchinthe1940s,thefledglingjuniorcollegesurvivedboththeGreatDepressionandWorldWarII.In1951,the College received its initial accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and has continuouslymaintaineditsaccreditationstatusthroughsuccessivereviewcycles.Evenso,theCollege’sfuturewasnot assured until after the arrival of Dr. John B. Begley, who assumed the presidency in 1977 and served in that capacity until 1997.
UnderBegley’sleadership,theCollegebegantoofferabaccalaureatecurriculumin1985,amaster’sprogramin Counseling and Human Development in 1993, and be came one of the fastestgrowing four-year private liberal artscollegesinKentucky.TheCollege’sascendancynotonlyhascontinued,buthasacceleratedduringthetenureofBegley’ssuccessor,Dr.WilliamT.Luckey,Jr.,whoobservedinhis2000inauguraladdressthat“thisCollegehas never been stronger than it is today.”

For all, the College remains steadfast in its mission to serve the educational needs of students by providing a living-learning environment within an atmosphere of active caring and Christian concern where every student, every day, learns and grows and feels like a real human being.
