Enoch Marvin College.—About 1878 the Methodist Episcopal church South established an educational institution at Oskaloosa, Jefferson county, and named it Enoch Marvin College. Owing to sectional feeling, the college failed to receive local support sufficient to insure its success, and in 1880 the enterprise was abandoned. The building had been erected upon a tract of land dedicated to school purposes and so entailed that it could he used for nothing else. About 1904 the old structure was torn down and a high school building erected on the site.
