Context

In the spring of 1951, Ward-Belmont was sold to the Tennessee Baptist Convention. Quickly, efforts were made by Ward-Belmont alumni in an attempt to reverse the sale. They started the Alumni Fund where they asked the Ward-Belmont community to pledge anything they could to support the campaign of negotiating with the TBC.
