TRINITY
It was mid-March in the year 1902, when the corner-
stone of this Waxahachie building was carefully
mortared into place. Despite the staggering fifty-
thousand dollars it would cost to buy the land and
erect four new buildings, Trinity University had
decided to move to th4 cotton-farming community,
southeast of Dallas. Records show that the original
cornerstone ceremony attracted crowds from miles
around...Schools and businesses closed...They say it
resembled an old-fashioned Fourth-of-July celebration.
By 1943, Trinity University had moved on to San
Antonio. The Waxahachie campus has become the South-
western Assemblies of God College. And today, the old
cornerstone is about to be removed...to be returned
to Trinity University. Doctor Blake Farmer, president
of S-A-G-C, presides over the presentation ceremonies,
which also mark completion of a 600-thousand-dollar
renovation of the old building.
Trinity President Doctor J.W. Laurie is present todw
