INTRODUCTION
By 1914 the Articles of Incorporation were in place and the Board began to carefully determine if they fit the goals of the founders and of the Board of Advisors. A full slate of Board members was assembled and all were present for the first meeting of January 1914 in Lexington, Kentucky.
The following documents outline key accomplishments and goals for the School as reported by the School’s co-directors.
